I don't think you have a good understanding of what the trades are if you believe what you've just stated. Tradesman != Day laborers or low skill factory work.

- chrisco255 7y agoLots of "day laborers" work in construction. And they make decent money but they're not saddled with $200K in student loans. As for factory work, the factory jobs have been largely exported to China. But factory work itself is probably preferable to going into debt to get a four year vanity degree and then end up working at Starbucks.
- knolax 7y agoIf you think electrical work or plumbing are still going to be a high-skill job in fifty years then you don't have a good understanding of labor markets. Automation doesn't replace twenty low-skill workers with a robot, it replaces one high-skill worker with two low-skill workers collectively paid half as much.
