Great handbook with comprehensive information

I like how the author debunked the myths regarding skilled trades, such as: instable income, no career path, not academically challenge compared to normal 4-year colleges etc. The detailed explanation each skilled trade category and how to get to skilled trades offer great information for teenagers who are looking for an alternative path. If they want to get a college degree afterward, they can really use their income from skilled trades to fund their college other than taking student loan. I recommend this book!
