Society as a whole would probably benefit from more trade schools, even for many jobs that are typically thought of as traditional white collar jobs. Though on the individual level it’d probably limit options and make it harder to switch careers.
- paulpauper 4y agotons of trade schools and trade jobs exist. the problem is the jobs are not that enticing.
- tastyfreeze 4y agoI think part of the problem is the perception that trades don't pay well. Trades median pay (salary.com): * Plumber $59,698 * Carpenter $58,542 * Journeyman Welder $51,413 * Electrician $61,350
- slothtrop 4y agoWell the money can be enticing.. if you manage to get an apprenticeship. Notwithstanding that trades aren't created equal. I initially went to tradeschool, before college. This was a reflection of self-confidence. I hated it. I often didn't have important tools or had them stolen, I didn't connect with anyone, and there was frankly a lot of standing around and waiting for your turn, there was a substantial lack of written reference material if you so happened to miss what a prof says (and their attention was always monopolized by 1-2 guys). I also didn't want to work graveyard shifts and 12 hour days.
