One of my daughter's friends starting in elementary school, was a guy who had a good heart, but just couldn't seem to keep his ass out of trouble when he got to the high school level. Not surprisingly, he had no college opportunities after graduation, and took a free course in welding. It turned out, he was really good at it, and got a scholarship to a trade school. He excelled there as well.
He was recruited by a company, received SCUBA training, and underwater umbilical training as well, and now has been professionally welding underwater for 5+ years. By all accounts, he is EXTREMELY well-compensated.
He seems to have gotten his shit pretty well together too in the last 5 years.
