Yep, trades are huge and overlooked by media almost completely. Getting an education isn't the best way to get a non-career-oriented living anymore. I have several friends who are doing as good or better than I am (I'm a CS major with a decent sw job) doing trades related / entrepreneurial work. They actively invest their extra cash in equities and are arguably doing much better than me since I invest mostly in real estate.
- griffinkelly 6y agoI have a few friends from high school who are in the trades, a carpenter, a plumber, and do very well for themselves. My friend who's a welder by far and above does the best out of all of them, and makes well over 100K. High paying blue collar jobs are there; he is constantly telling me if I want a job as a welder, they are always struggling to hire hire qualified people.
