Question

your friend, max, recently finished an apprenticeship as an electrician. he has a union job with a good salary. youre proud of him and respect his opinion, so you ask his advice about studying nursing. he tells you, \why should you pay for community college when you can get an apprenticeship in a trade like me and start earning money right away? please dont waste your money.\ whats the best way to understand maxs advice? max has more experience than you, so its best to follow his advice. max is wrong, and you should stop sharing information with him. maxs opinion is valid, but its biased by his own experiences. paying for school must be a bad financial decision.

Explanation:

Max's advice is based on his own positive experience with an apprenticeship. However, nursing and electrical work are different fields. Nursing often requires formal education (like community college) for licensing and to meet the standards of the profession. Just because his apprenticeship worked for him (valid experience - based opinion) doesn't mean it's the right path for nursing. His view is biased by his own journey (apprenticeship in a trade).

Answer:

Max's opinion is valid, but it's biased by his own experiences.
