Paul Burton at CBSNews.com reports on Sheet Metal Workers Local 17’s Training Center in Dorchester, Massachusetts where he talks with Workers who chose Trade School over college and how it’s paying off for them.  Keyona Tavares of Dorchester tells Burton she’s proud of her decision to join Local 17.  Before making the decision, she worked as a Valet and in Security. Now she's a third-year apprentice and a trailblazer for her family.  "A lot of my family members didn't go to college.  They - you know, just got jobs.  I make more than some of my aunt and uncles honestly, as an Apprentice," Tavares said.  Now, she’s looking at making more than $100,000 a year - with benefits and a pension.
