There's a MASSIVE influx of specialists with university degrees in my country since fucking everybody can get a degree nowadays, so the job market for academics is horrible. Skilled laborers are making bank, though, since not many are doing that. Also, as everyone else here, I prefer working with my hands.
The only reason I was going in to engineering was due to heavy pressure from my family.
