Meet P.D. MASON
Paul (P.D.) Mason is an author dedicated to helping high school students and young adults explore skilled trades as a viable, in-demand career path—without the burden of massive student debt.
A plumber and construction industry veteran with nearly 30 years of experience, Mason advocates for alternative education in public classrooms, challenging the prevailing “college-first” mindset.
His books highlight lucrative trade careers facing a skilled labor shortage and provide a roadmap to financial stability and a secure retirement. Beyond writing, Mason contributes to educational platforms and career development programs, empowering individuals to see that college isn’t the only path to success.
“I think a trillion dollars of student loans and a massive skills gap are precisely what happens to a society that actively promotes one form of education as the best course for the most people. I think the stigmas and stereotypes that keep so many people from pursuing a truly useful skill, begin with the mistaken belief that a four-year degree is somehow superior to all other forms of learning.”
