I went to college but wasn't interested in anything I took until I started taking horticulture and landscape design classes. It has helped me get my foot in the door for interviews but really it comes down to job performance, if you can't handle the long days of outdoor manual labor then it's not a profession to get into. Most of the guys on my crews don't have a college degree but they're making an honest living, without a mountain of student loan debt.

There are quite a few trades that you can learn on the job and make good money. I don't want to sound like Mike Rowe (I'm not that eloquent) but for sure, college isn't for everybody.
