I don't know- my ex works for DHL (was Airborne Express), and he makes decent money, as do the other drivers. In his case, it's union. I don't think it's a crime that not everyone goes to college. I think the trades are really good for a lot of people (plumbers make a lot, but I know a waiter with a Master's in Art from a really good school.) These kids don't want trade jobs, either. They want instant gratification- quick money, without education or getting their hands dirty.
