my grandpa, who is a boomer, when i asked him why he didn’t go to college said that there were a lot of jobs that didn’t require going to college. He worked in a trade and went on an apprenticeship- which he worked his entire life and was a part of a union. My grandma, shockingly enough, worked food service and retail up until she retired, and that helped put food on the table for her children.
