People want to bash college degrees over trades but never speak of the working conditions/environment and often lack of retirement, Healthcare and PTO of said trades.
The hell with working in an attic all day in August in south Louisiana, cleaning out a septic tanks, unclogging tampons every month in the projects.

Everyone in this thread bitching about the trades continually uses residential construction analogies to make their point. I will not push my kids into trades within service or residential construction but the money within commercial construction is there and will continue to grow. Most commercial subcontractors will pay and train you to get licensed.. our supers arent working foreman and make good money 70-125k depending on experience and time they've been with us. We've brought in two supers to be PM's in the past couple of years from the field but most of our guys want to stay in the field because the headache of management outweighs them supervising in the elements because they really dont do a whole lot besides layout.

My son has two buddies going to trade school out of high school.
My boy dies t just love school. He had mentioned it. I told him that yes it was a good idea for the first 10 years but at 45 he prob didn’t want to be working by the hour.
Asked him to consider a business mgmt degree, then trade school then get 5-6 years experience and open his own business. Or just go grab a construction mgmt degree and work up from there
