Folks,
Electrical work is never going away.
It’s something worth considering if one is exploring career options.

Removing foreign work visa trash should be of upmost importance. Why should Americans be restricted to the blue-collar trades, while foreigners take all the STEM jobs and white-collar work?
A vast majority of American men (including myself) can’t and don’t want to do that type of work.
If it were the case, the technical trade schools and union halls would be bursting at the seams for new trainees and apprentices. I’m guessing they are not.
Why? Greed$$$$$$$$$$$

Not 50 years ago a recession shut down a lot of construction, but electical work and painting persisted. Electrical Workers are trained and licensed for all kinds of work with computer networks, electrical grids, household applications and Industrial.
I’m guessing you’re misinformed.
What is your definition of a blue collar worker? An infrastructure such as USA, requires a lot of upkeep and as long as “coding” is being actively promoted the industrial jobs associated with maintaining this country’s infrastructure continue to be barely talked about.
That’s a signal that the bureaucracy is sadly misinformed as well.
Try finding a STEM job if you’re white. I have a Ivy Master’s Degree in Applied Physics and BSEE.
Can’t get past the non-minority filters to even get an interview, let alone a job offer. My friend was shown the door for an Indian female replacement.
Sir, your arrogance is stunning.
I’m not in the trades, but I work with tradesmen nearly every day. There is honor is skilled labor. Great honor and great pay in many cases
No accountant has ever looked at a balance sheet and told his son proudly, “I did that.”
Many a stonemason or glazer has gazed up at a shining tower and said “Son, I built that.”
