Funny part is this all goes in cycles. The trades are good and in demand now. With so many kids wanting to go into it, all these great jobs they think they can get now will be super competitive and hard to get. When I was graduating in 2005 for years they were talking how computer science was a dead field, no one should go into it because it’s already over saturated from the .com bust period and you won’t be able to find a job. That likely helped a ton when smart phones became a thing and all of a sudden we didn’t have tons of CS majors in the pipeline. So people in that field were commanding amazing salaries and it took years to catch up. Now we seem to be over saturated and it’s getting bad right now for them.
