Now I’m something of a contrarian in the field of education today. I firmly believe that we send too many kids on to college, and that we really need to be encouraging some students to consider a trade which suits their aptitude and interests and which will equip them for success in their lives. I’m not talking digging ditches – I mean skilled trades like plumbing, where there is good money to be made.

Well, over the last 3 years, Avand.co.uk has been helping folks find just such vocational training in the field of plumbing with their excellent Plumbing Courses . They act as a clearinghouse for plumbing courses. Now I’ll be really honest with you – I think plumbing is a spectacular field for someone to get into if they are skilled with their hands and technically minded. I think of the last guy I had in here to do plumbing work for me at my home – it was almost like watching a surgeon at work as he swiftly dealt with the technical aspects of the job in a way that I would have never considered. And I know he gets paid well, probably comparable to me if not better. So this is certainly a field that you might want to check into.
