As college costs rise, more Gen Zs are questioning the value of a four-year degree and turning to blue-collar careers that offer competitive salaries. Entrepreneurs and Jobber customers Chase Gallagher and Ryan Daniels have found success in the trades, building lucrative businesses in landscaping and pressure washing without college degrees. Gallagher’s landscaping business earns him about $250,000 annually, while Daniels, who left college, has saved $400,000 towards retirement through his pressure washing business. In this great CNBC Make It article both entrepreneurs highlight the advantages of trade work, including lower startup costs, high demand, and the potential for early retirement. They also emphasize that college isn't the right path for everyone, and fulfilling, successful careers can be found in blue-collar work.

Jacob Weigel and Jeremiah Hankerson founded Junk Runners, a Fairfax-based junk removal company after deciding to leave their demanding 9-5 jobs to pursue entrepreneurship. The duo wanted to create a business that combined hands-on work with community service, emphasizing donations to local charities. Disappointed with the lack of customer service in their previous jobs at another junk removal company, they saw an opportunity to improve the industry by focusing on charitable giving. Their efforts led to over $50,000 in annual donations and recently earned them a $10,000 Jobber Grant, which they plan to use to expand their business with a second truck. They aim to better serve the densely populated DMV area, where demand for their services continues to grow. Congrats on your feature in Patch.com and for earning one of 15 Jobber Grants! https://lnkd.in/gxau6jS8
