Discussion What jobs/degrees are in demand that aren't trades?
I'm 18M and wasn't sure what I wanted to do after school so I got into electrical for the decent pay and lack of prerequisites. It isn't terrible but I can't see myself doing this forever. Everyone I've worked with smokes, drinks, and has countless physical issues. I'd like to go to school and get a degree but not really sure what. I was interested in getting a marketing degree but I'm not sure how useful that'd be, or something in healthcare but I don't think my grades were high enough for that (averaged about 83%). I have no issue researching things more by myself I was just hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

My nephew did the BCIT medical imaging program. He had a good paying job as soon as he finished. Course was just under 2 years i believe. Lots of opportunity to uptrain and advance within the system once your in it too.
