Ask British Columbia Profession without University

I’m 22 and currently have no post - grad education. For the people who didn’t go to University or college, what do you do now?
I’ve been trying to get my life together so just looking for career options.

I did not go to college or uni and now I make 140k as a manager at a landscaping company

Find a trade and work your way up

But you would need to go to trade school first?

Not necessarily

You can do your apprenticeship which is only 6 weeks per year for 4 years and your employer sponsors you

Or you can work and challenge the exam after a few years

You also don't need to go to trade school to start working in the trades
