Skilled trades destroy your body and are generally unappealing for very good reasons. The unions play gatekeeper in a closed shop industry with mandatory apprenticeship training (and not to mention the perceptions of class and sexual harassment issues). We need more white collar paper pushing jobs that pay well even if they don't necessarily generate value. If the massive tech-enabled concentration of wealth continues, we will have societal problems. You can already see this happening in countries like Japan and Spain where growth has stalled and the youth are suffering from massive unemployment.
