Our parents generation were conditioned into going to college and getting white collar jobs; this has created a massive need for blue collar professionals. All of the cats I know who are general contractors, electricians, welders... they make serious bank


That and many older blue collar professionals are retiring and there aren't many trained young people to fill the gap...

One problem I see with blue collar work is injury on the job... If you get injured, there goes your job.... Say if you fracture or break your femur or pelvis, those types of injury take a year to two to even be 80% functional... in the meantime, no money....

yep, my cousin is an electrician and he's making $$$. plus he is going to an advance trade school for panel system.

i might look into a trade when I finish my degree and if i can't land a job in my field of study.

Nah the union covers that bro...Worker's comp payouts...

On the other hand - Try getting worker's comp for carpal tunnel from some white collar job LOL

that's just a discouraging mentality.

you could die in a car crash, plane crash, random act of violence, etc etc... get money and don't worry about every what if. do the job well you'll be fine.

and what about unemployment insurance?
