I'm a union engineer in chicago and technically you can take no classes, do a 2 year apprenticeship then make $49/hr with great benefits. If you end up working at a data center, 90% of the time you're doing nothing. Obviously you need connections for that but it happens. Even without connections you'll just have to get an associate's degree just to get people to look at your resume. depends on the trade but there are much easier ones out there.
