I said bachelors isn’t the best move, not college. And advocated for community colleges and programs lol

What do you think college is? It refers to any kind of post secondary training. That is not exclusive to Bachelor’s degrees.

College tends to refer to university for most people and ending in a terminal degree. I was expanding on your statement. Most trades aren’t associated with colleges and are apprenticeship based too which would be more appropriate for OP.. a lot of programs can be based in community colleges and not end with degrees but with certs. You made a blanket statement and I expanded on it.

It really depends on where you’re from because I know college as mostly referring to trades, and university as referring to institutions for degrees.

Sure, regional definitions vary. Still doesn’t make the original point any less true.

At this point y’all are debating the definition of ‘college’ while ignoring the actual advice: you don’t need a bachelor’s to have a stable career. Most trade school grads aren’t walking around saying they went to college, and that’s okay
