You have tremendous opportunities in the skilled trades these days and a generation or two who are really horrible with their hands and more importantly are uninterested in learning. Its how they grew up. I see it every day.
Too many nowadays want a job, where they sit in an office and sit at a computer screen. And expect big bucks to do it.
Hopefully word gets out, that there are good paying jobs out there, if you are willing to do actual work, and willing to learn.
