What if you're dumb?

Money isn’t the issue but rather the means to get into the fields I enjoy. I make great money now in my trade-esq field so I understand that vocational training wouldn’t be a route to poverty or failure.

To be honest, I wouldn’t know what kind of trade I’d do or if I’d want to do it the rest of my life. I see a college degree as appealing because the jobs will be different then simply working with electricity all day (for example).

I guess I’m so bent on going to college because no one in my family has ever gotten to that degree and most of their trade skills have landed them in dead-end jobs.

I’m interested in fields like Psychology, Medicine, Law, Economics, Education, and Business (which is something I’m doing now). I’m not sure what kind of “trades” I can get in these fields besides ones that wouldn’t be interesting to me.
