I grew up in a homebuilder family and I saw enough as a teenager on job sites to know that the trades are way more screwed up than people think. Very tough getting your foot in the door with an honest builder as a plumber etc.
There are so many barriers and tons of nepotism in the trades.
I'm sure its much worse today with all the wall st builders dominating the game. You can't even buy lots in the master planned communities sprouting up everywhere unless you can build out an entire subdivision.

People who haven't come from blue-collar families tend to see the trades through rosy glasses. There's a reason my father worked like a horse so I could study. And while I am pretty competent with manual labor, it would have completely killed him if I followed his foot-steps.
