Young people today.......Learn a trade. Go to a good trade school and become a plumber or a mechanic or a carpenter. You will be out of school faster, spend less money and in the end you could make good cash.

Or stay at home, smoke weed, watch TV and make the same money. That’s the choice people have today. Is there any wonder that trade jobs go unfilled?

a couple points my dear kaslin:

1) don't listen to women.

I can't stress this enough. Women wouldn't know how to build a functioning outhouse.

2) Learn a trade; a skill.

3) Master that skill.

4)Period.

One other thing; ignore women.

Not a carpenter; they don’t have service calls. HVAC or electric, plumbing.

I’d love to see a snarky YT vid “a day in the life of Julia and Pajama Boy”.

Suspect it could be an awesome hit job on the entitlement army.

Yeah, but that money's being laundered through to the education cartel (University profs, teachers' unions, Dept. of Education, bloated admin of school districts, common core proponents and all those sucking off that gubmint teat) as payback for filling the skulls-a-mush (present leftist and future voters) with socialist ideas and fervor.

It'll only stop when the real backlash takes hold.

When I was looking for a job, I went into a few places that do glass work, and carpentry. They all said I had to be part of the local union , so I left.

“Not a carpenter;”
I started working as a carpenter’s apprentice during my Summer vacations, at the age of 15. My Dad hired about 30 carpenters every year, so he greased somebody’s palm and I got in the union. After hammering away for three days as a framer, I got tremendous satisfaction from looking at the home we’d just built! Probably my most favorite job. Went on to be a one man home and condo maintenance com pay, doing everything. Plumbing and electric got me 40 to 60 bucks an hour, depending on the job. Drywall repair? Ha! I can’t begin to say how many thousands and though sands of bucks I pulled in just at McIntosh Farms. Shoddy construction equals roof leaks. Painting condos? Great money from insurance companies. Doing those jobs enabled me to keep working in my real chosen field, music.

There is an entire INDUSTRY dedicated to the furtherance of this situation. It is the EDUCATION industry which obtains its money by hypnotizing the youth of today with the never-ending slogan, “You MUST go to College.”
The nation is overrun with degree holding young people who are capable of nothing needed by this country. In fact, on the opening day of the new school year, there are NO jobs in all to many of these fields , and there are none when you fresh faced graduate tries to enter the world.
Meanwhile, in technical, vocational high schools across the nation, work ready high school seniors are actually sought after and recruited by anxious employers.
Me, I am a 79 year old watchmaker, semi-retired and working “ONLY” 50 hour weeks and I wish I was not alone. I have my trade, but I’m sure lonely.Without the guy holding the “dirty job” this society we enjoy would come to a screeching halt.
