Hey everyone, I’m 20 and living in Seattle. I moved to the U.S. from Ukraine when the war started, so I finished high school here but don’t have a degree.
I started working at the airport as a cabin agent, got promoted to supervisor, and now I’m making $53k a year. I’m not sure if I should just keep working and try to move up to manager (they make around $70k, but who knows how long that’ll take) or if I should look into going to college or learning a trade to make more in the long run.
I’d appreciate any advice. What would you do in my situation?

I don’t have anything specific in mind, but I’d like to learn a skill that pays well. It doesn’t have to be university since I might not even get accepted, but maybe a trade school or community college could be an option.
If you’re open to school, getting a degree or a trade certification could open up way more opportunities and probably get you to a higher salary faster. Do you have any interest in things like IT, trades, or business?
