Not a tough opinion, just a flawed one.
> I’m glad they can’t get into college.
I saw this sentiments a lot with the older workers I was surrounded by when my father put me to work doing manual labor for construction sites during my high school summers.
In the same way that college isn’t suited for everyone snd set them up for success, the trades aren’t suited for everyone. Stop being happy to see choice taken away from the younger generation.
> We need welders, machinists, mechanics, HVAC, plumbers, electricians, ironworkers. You’ll tackle some of the hardest problems…
You sound like a FAANG recruiter trying to make ad-tech sound sexy. The majority of someone’s time in the trade will be spent following poorly planned blueprints led by site supervisors that only care if you can do three days of work in two.
> Our wages won’t move you in to Ole Musky, but they’re enough for me to comfortably own a home, a car, a motorcycle
The wages also don’t take into account a lifelong career of manual labor that slowly breaks down the human body.
