Obviously it’s easier for younger people to make a move like that but yeah if you’re young get into a trade and don’t get some bullshit office job or go to college or whatever.
I’m sure it varies depending on where you are but not long ago there was a news story about some trade union that had an open house type signup/application day. They had like 60 or 70 spots to fill and a half a dozen people showed up.
My brother only managed to complete two thirds of his education to become a qualified electrician, somehow he still got a job working as a mechanic on the light rail and became the shift manager in two years. Now he is working as a consultant for the state on a huge project.
