I've been preaching this to youngsters for years. Trades people are most often paid for what they know and occasionally for what they do. If you go into business for yourself it's going to be more about what you do, but with the Cert. you get to charge $50, or $100, or more per hour for your time. Thus being paid for what you know.

I think trade/vocational tech schools are definitely worth more than traditional colleges and universities. I say this as someone who attended a traditional university and earned a Bachelors Degree in Political Science.
I wish someone had told me to go learn how to weld, or install/maintain/fix HVAC systems, or anything else that is actually USEFUL to society. It wasn't until I went to 88L2O School (at the age of 48) that I learned the basics of welding, HVAC, electrical systems, etc.
My son didn't go to college, but works at Tesla, on their Model 3 line, in the battery department. I told my daughter that I don't care what it is, but she WILL learn a practical skill that will be useful to the community in some way; whether it's growing vegetables to hunting, to gun repair, or building solar/wind power systems, she will learn something useful.
To conclude: when your plumbing system gets stopped-up, or your electrical system gets fried, or your A/C goes out on a hot day, who do you call? Do you call someone with a degree in Minority Interpretive Dance, or do you call a licensed technician who can fix it? Oh and you're going to PAY that tech a lot of money, especially if it's outside normal business hours, or on a weekend or holiday.
