<prompt> Human: I am a college student who is really curious as to how high school graduates are able to persue high paying jobs By chance, experience?. Im guessing it would be really hard as most entry level jobs have almost no room for promotion and growth. Even from personal experience of working while in college, I have seen little to no jobs that offer any significant promotions for people with only highschool diplomas. Assistant: It depends on the field. Some of my friends have decided to learn trades, doing stuff like welding or electrical work. Others have found prospects in landscaping or family businesses.Human: They learn trades from technical institutes?  <response>: Depends on your state, but usually there are community college type places for trades.
