Now, it takes about 9 months' salary of a entry-level engineer to pay for one year's tuition at that same school. College costs have increased at several times the rate of inflation.Skilled Trades jobs (mechanic/technician, tool maker, electrician, etc.) make good money, but they don't have to spend several years and hundreds of thousands of dollars, to get there.Although I do most of my own work on all our vehicles, many don't. Great going - we need guys doing what you do.</blockquote>
