I have family who have done trade work and have dabbled myself. Not only did my brother make an actual fraction of what a developer would make, he did not get sick days or health insurance. He's doing much better now in an engineering job, and will not be going back. It's the weirdest thing how I always see people on the internet who don't do trade jobs talk about how much they pay, and yet if you look up the actual statistics, you'll see that these jobs are paid salaries that the people on this forum would scoff at. And those statistics match the reality of the actual tradespeople in my family. I'm quite aware of how much a new F-150 costs, perhaps you should look up the length of the average vehicle loan these days. I bet I do know what would help the trades to be seen as higher class work; paying more lol.
