Right now there is a huge shortage of skilled industrial workers, welders, machinists, etc. Largely because schools stopped teaching shop and other industrial skills, and propagandized that everyone needs to go to college. Now people are graduating from colleges with mountains of debt and can’t find decent jobs, while trade school grads are being scooped up for jobs in the high 5 figures and there aren’t enough of them.
My daughter’s best friend decided college was not for her and enrolled in a trade school. Now, as a black female welder, she is in extremely high demand. And she is earning more than most of the college grads her age.
There will also always be jobs in banking and government, scheming more creative ways to steal other people’s money.
