[Robert A Cook PE]

A welder or machinist begins at 15.00- 25.00 per hour immediately on leaving a 6 month program, or a tech high school or apprenticeship. Salaries go up towards 45.00 per hour. The tech student will continue to work through those 5 years of college earning income, and people are BEGGING for tech-trained/tech-capable workers such as electricians, pipefitters, welders, plumbers, machinists, millwrights, and steelworkers.

Now, those are NOT air-conditioned computer programmers and phone call salesmen.

For sure...and if Trump actually does make progress on Illegal Immigration...it’s a game changer in those fields for Americans and probably flips the salary curve relative to ‘the arts’.
