I am a retired Licensed Professional Engineer. On construction sites I would routinely meet with electricians, plumbers, steam fitters, carpenters, iron workers, etc. Most of these people did not have college degrees or even attended college. They received their knowledge from trade schools. They had no difficulty reading and understanding drawings, specifications, building codes, etc. They could write satisfactory English and perform the mathematics required by their profession. Would college have made them better tradesmen, probably not. Would college make them more valuable to their community, again no.
