Should I go to trade school or university? Unsure on what I want to do

I went to trade school to be an electrician when everyone was going to college. I made more than them at the time straight out of school & had 0 issues finding a good paying job. I now work for a massive tech company because of that and low voltage experience. To find out if you’re cut out for it before investing in trade school- apply for some CCTV install jobs, you’ll know right away if you enjoy working from ladders, running wire, etc. Also, it’s visit the trade subreddit that you’re considering. Note that electricians make more than plumbers and it’s not nearly as hard on your body depending where you land yourself. I did lighting for awhile and it was pretty cool n paid well

I will add, I’m now making enough to be comfortable going back to school for Computer Science and realizing that as I get older the elements aren’t where I want to be until I retire…if I am able to retire as a construction worker lol

Good luck OP
