As the title says, I'm a 22-year-old who graduated college in May. As much as I'm fortunate enough to have graduated without debt, I can't help but feel guilty for considering an alternate course of action going forward. I majored in psychology (I know, a terrible decision) because it was my favorite subject in high school, but I realize that you can't really do much without a Master's at the very least. I honestly don't know if I am even passionate about this career choice anymore and I definitely do not want to put myself into debt for a higher degree that really doesn't guarantee a higher paying job. I also still embarrassingly live at home with my parents and I'm yearning for a sense of independence by moving out soon.
So lately I've been strongly considering the idea of attending a trade school and learning a trade in either electric or plumbing. I know that although the earning potential is low initially, it is possible to make a decent living with either career.
What should I do now to make sure this decision is feasible? I do have $15k in savings, but I would be sad to part ways with what I've saved.
