The article is slightly outdated, but the information is still relevant. The state of Michigan's greatest export has become graduates.

Michigan Grads

Interesting read. Speaking from experience I can say that higher education is over-rated. I went in the Navy 5 months after High School, got some great training in work related things as well as life lessons. Went to College for a couple of weeks and decided 'Pfft'!!!...........

It really depends on the job. Trade school is better if you know what you want to do. For example my friend is skipping college to go train in Tennessee to be a luther (makes guitars). That's his passion. I on the other hand have no idea what I want to do, and college is the best way for me to experience a variety of things and then make a decision. (Hopefully learning enough about those things on the way to land a job and then actually be good at whatever it is from that experience.)

Aye, Trade Schools are a great way to get your feet wet in the trade you wish to pursue.

Maria is 100% correct when she says you should seek an internship. Degree + internship = easy mode for finding a job. Also, do something you love, it shows in an interview.
