Thank you for your review. This should be essential reading for high school students who are contemplating their future. There is no shame in not going to tertiary education. I have seen too many cases of college graduates who are unhappy with their jobs and careers because they were not interested nor could they see the relevance.

Today, more and more people are considering not going to college as the cost has become prohibitive and the return on investment has dwindled. Blue collar jobs are definitely rising in popularity as they do not have many barriers to entry. I am quite curious to see how the author rose through the ranks in his first company without a degree. I am also curious about how he set up his own company. Congratulations on BOTD.

Although I'm still in college, I have never wanted to do a white-collar job, I've always wanted to start my own business. I'm glad this book can help me in achieving that dream. Congratulations on BOTD.

Impressive to see a book like this. Nowadays people are no longer interested in schooling. They just want blue-collar jobs that can give them what they desire. I believe this book can give one insight on how to go about that

I have seen and know many people that were very successful without a blue or white collar job. I like that the author wrote on this subject because many people see blue collar job as the only way to success which is not so. I'll love to read this book.

Blue Collar cash, it sounds really appealing. Going to college to learn how to do your jon and actually learning to do the job while being at the job, there's big difference in theory and practical applications. I guess the author's experience is a key element that readers will find the tips in the book useful. Great review!

I’m definitely adding this book to my shelf. I love the context and storyline. Personally, I don’t believe what we do is very important, as long as it’s not illegal. It’s the fulfillment and peace of mind that comes from it that’s important.

This is a wonderful book, it shows that people that couldn't cope with higher degree should not be underrated. There are a lot of jobs that doesn't require formal education, having formal education can only help ones reasoning and exposure. Intriguing review

In addition to sharing motivational tales of people who have achieved success after working in blue-collar professions, Mr. Rusk backs up his arguments with data. Making wise use of your time, setting and achieving goals, and, most importantly, obtaining comfort, serenity, and independence are all crucial. See what the author has to offer in this book.

I am one to think out side the box and I have always said gettibg a college degree only increases our chances of employability and I am glad the author gave an eye opening discourse that every college or university student should read beforehand. I loved the book and I would recommend it to others.

I like such novels as they point out that the amount of degrees, masters and PHDs does not equate wealth. It is all about wise and informed choices that help climb the ladder of wealth and prosperity.
