Thinking about options after high school is now in the forefront of students' minds. With all of the options available: trade schools, apprenticeships, the workforce, or college, there is a lot to choose from. College and trade schools seem to be the first choice for many of the high school students.
Trade schools in careers are in high demand. Which means original trade jobs are rising in price. They are also found more affordable for general degrees. But these jobs are held to a higher standard when presented. Trade/Tech schools can transfer credit by 2 or 4 years. Lowest price tech school average cost is 1,033 and highest price tech school average cost is 5,384. The lowest wage you could make for going to a tech school is $40,710 and the highest wage is $124,540 for just a two or four year trade school.
Going to college with a private or public can be a great deal of stress. The after-school is also a worry with debt and finding a job. As well as 1 in 4 parents believe a total year of college should cost or equal $5,000 or less. As well as their cost, tuition, fees, housing, food, and book. One year at a private school can cost $38,185. One year at a public out-of-state school can cost $22,698. One year at a public school in the state can cost $ 10,338. Now comparing the price of trade school and college, you'd see that trade schools have less fees.
Difference between trade schools and colleges in a few categories. Trade schools are needed to perform essential services. While colleges give you a degree and allow you to have a comfortable job. But both don’t serve an employee with job security. There are also career flexibilities. Such as trade schools won’t allow a lot of career flexibility, what you leave the school knowing is the only career you’d stay in. Colleges can have one of their degree holders be able to switch a job. “According to BLS employment data, the average American switches jobs every four years and holds about 12 jobs in their lifetime.” from Trade Schools VS Colleges. This is saying that you can switch more with a college degree.
In Conclusion, there are many different points and thoughts on what is done for secondary options and these aren’t even all the options. But before making a decision, make sure to do all of your research.

What are the differences between getting a degree in a job or specific field that you could also go to trade school for? I know with something like welding, you can go to a trade school for it as well as going to college and getting a degree for it, so what difference would it make and what does it actually do for you?
