Jobs in the medical field are only going to become more common as the population ages, and there’s always the opportunity to pursue more education. I suggested medical training to my son, as a quick road to financial independence, but heavy equipment maintenance offers higher pay in a shorter time. (He’d be a heck of a pediatric nurse ... maybe someday!)
We keep hearing that jobs go begging, especially for government construction jobs, because otherwise qualified applicants can’t pass a drug test.
We have that problem here too. My granddaughter’s boyfriend is in mechanic’s school, there will be jobs for them. We literally have one diesel mechanic around here to work on tractors and he is overwhelmed.
