This was in norway, so might be different in other countries. But is was good. First year was a kind of general "mechanics" thing where we'd learn the basics of engine maintenance/repair, machining, welding, sheet metal work, etc. And some electronics as well. Second year we'd specialize, and I went for machining. Third year was a paid apprenticeship.
I've genuinely enjoyed every job that this education has gotten me. We don't all have to be academics.
There really is something about creating a physical product with your own hands and thinking "this is going to help someone" or "someone is going to enjoy this" or whatever.
how was trade school?

Are you thinking of getting into "blue collar" work?
yeah, I don't want to sit at a desk forever, I like to be active and doing things.
