5 Trade Schools Where Recent Grads Earn Baller Pay With a 2-Year Degree

Year after year, publications compile lists of the best colleges and universities across the country to help teenagers decide what will be the foundation for their future careers.

What these lists tend to leave out, however, are trade schools.

This year, Forbes decided to change that and released its first list of what it deems the top 30 trades schools in America. Using methodology similar to what it uses for its annual top colleges list, Forbes factored in earnings of graduates, affordability for students and quality of the schools to compile the rankings.
