So, if you were the original photographer, you should answer my questions from the previous page.

No, because the original joke was that YOU were the photographer (Giannis/Kawhi)... because it was so good. I am not going to answer a bunch of questions created under false pretext. And the reason why I made the joke was indeed because of your criticism of the MN thread picture. It's all in good fun, don't be so confused next time

Many of "the trades" are hurting for people -- electricians, plumbers, mechanics, carpenters, etc. A lot of those jobs hire folks for more money than many college grads get. The overall compensation packages are often different (e.g. for many of them you get paid if you work and you don't get paid vacation or sick time, so you have to factor that into your salary), but these "blue collar" jobs can often pay more overall than many "white collar" jobs. And you certainly save a lot on college expenses if you don't go to college. On the other hand, education is often about more than just job earning potential. I'll generally agree but all those trades you listed -- electricians, plumbers, mechanics (??), carpenters -- don't hire at high wages. The young kids get hired to "assist" seasoned pros and do the grunt work and learn on the job. They don't even get a salary. I think they get paid by the hour and it's not that high. They have to also put in a certain number of workhours plus take training/certification classes. This could take years. By the time they're ready to be full-fledged tradesman, they still have to decide whether to get a job working for the likes of Roto-Rooter, Home Depot, or Joe's HVAC Repair, Inc., or open up their own handyman business. Many of them make a lot of money but that's only after years of training and "learning the ropes of the business." There are many trades where you're not even allowed to do certain tasks, e.g., touch power lines, unless you've undergone the proper training and gotten certified at a certain level. The only profession I'm not sure about are auto mechanics. I don't think they get paid as much as you think. I'm also not sure about certification requirements and the like. I'm sure they have them but not sure what they entail. There are some jobs where you can get all the basic requirements done in community college, see, e.g., accounting. The next problem is, you have to get hired and get your employer to agree to sign off on CPA hours so that you can accumulate enough workhours to take the CPA exam, which may come 5 years after you started work as an accountant. An accountant must have a Bachelors degree to take the CPA exam, then must work 2 years for a CPA firm before they can go out on their own. If they obtain a Masters in Accounting, then they need to take the CPA exam and work only 1 year for a CPA firm. At least, that's how it was 20 years ago.

CPA requirements vary from state to state. Not all states require a Bachelor's in Accounting. And different states have different rules about how many hours of CPA firm experience you need. There are basic requirements across the board. From the AIS website: "Like all CPA exam qualifications, the educational requirements vary across states, but there are several consistencies that most states require. The main requirement is that candidates must have completed either a bachelor’s degree or 120 college credit hours in order to be eligible. Some states require a general bachelor’s degree while others require a degree in accounting or business related field like finance. Regardless of the degree necessary, most states require a minimum level of accounting coursework and business-related coursework. For example, most states require you to complete at least 24 credit hours in accounting courses including intermediate and advanced financial accounting, cost accounting, and taxation. States typically also require a minimum of 20 credit hours in a related business course like finance, business law, and management."

So, anyway, depending on the state, you can take community college courses in accounting to be eligible. The CPA hours at CPA firms vary.
