You know more then I do about Kids/teens/young adults these days. I think most would like a construction/trade job.

Looking back, if you were not a real brain before college what would be wrong with learning plumbing? Darn good money.

Am I wrong.

TY

I know it’s difficult for the local trash pickup guys to get people and they pay good money and benefits.
The problem is passing drug testing for getting/keeping a commercial driver license.

Not wrong. But for many, the thought of physical labor even in high school was abhorrent. It was thought that the worthless jocks, bullies, stoners and scumbags would do those jobs, so us 98 lb weaklings got good at computers or other college-type jobs

Hell, we even sucked at industrial arts in high school and hated those classes with a passion (for us, it was woodworking and metalworking). We hated home ec as much. Those students took building trades, welding and other vocational subjects while we took physics, calculus and chemistry.

So those who spent 37 years past high school in computers are pretty much effed, as our skills are now mere commodities more suited for foreign trash.
