Very confused about my future and what I want to do when I grow up

The job gap in America is rooted in the superior (yet false) marketing of the 4 year degree over the trades. Nothing wrong with a 4 year degree but folks tend to study what they are interested in rather than seeing, 1) does the degree make you highly qualified for an associated job 2) does the job pay enough for you to live comfortably and pay off the degree before you are 30 3) are jobs highly available in the area you want live?

I agree 100 percent. There are so many cool jobs out there besides the obvious. Many of these jobs can make one quite handy at home or abroad for doing your own electrical, plumbing, construction, etc. I love doing my own stuff if I can
