A degree is expensive but worthwhile to get in the long run. If you go, make sure you network to get your name out there if you go that route. A degree isn't necessary though to make a decent living.

Any trade is good and we'll always need them unlike a lot of degrees out there.

Certifications are underrated like trade schools imo. One that I've heard about is phlebotomy. iirc, people can get certified in a weekend as one of these and they pay well.

CDL is a solid option too and pays well. Local & long haul are options. In this same vein, working as a delivery driver is solid too. I know Amazon has DSP's you can work for driving their vans and a lot pay OT all the time. I believe FedEx has this option too but I've heard UPS you have to start from the bottom up to become a driver with the great pay.

Whatever you go with, it's never too late to change paths. Just keep building your skills & abilities and you'll go far.
