Yesterday this was posted with a lot of commenters agreeing that management wasn't for them. With that in mind, I think presenting "entrepreneurism" as a lucrative and rewarding career is misleading. Many people wouldn't enjoy it, many people wouldn't be good at it, many people will not be successful at it - particularly long term. Entrepreneurs will not have easy access to 401ks and ( in the US ) health insurance.

It is interesting to me how many promoters of blues collar careers overlook these industries historic hostility to female collogues. Women have been doing better in college lately than men, so maybe the assumption is that men will forgo college in droves for these sort of trade careers leaving all the white collar jobs to women. It's a plausible outcome.
