At this trade school what do they learn? If they literally learned a trade like how to become a blacksmith then yes you are a first generation college student, if they learned engineering then no you are not a first generation college student. My mother never went to college, but my dad went to a polytechnic college in England for engineering so I am not a first generation college student just because I'm the first in my family to go to college in America. If your dad went to business school then you aren't a first generation college student.
