Is College right for you?
Why seek a Plumbing Apprenticeship
Why seek a Plumbing Apprenticeship
We are in no way trying to dissuade anyone from obtaining a 4-year degree, but we also know that college is not for everyone.
It can cost a great deal of money to attend a four-year institution, which in turn can build up a great deal of debt due to student loans, or just the normal everyday cost pf living expenses. That debt can take years, if not decades to pay off.
After you graduate, many careers that you'll be trying to get in to may have you apply for an internship (which only pays in experience, not dollars) before you even start making money to pay off those student loans.
On this page you'll find some information that shows you some of the advantages of choosing an apprenticeship in a trade like plumbing, versus attending a four-year institution.
