[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a lot of talk here from people who don’t have a lot of friends and family in the trades. I can tell you they’re doing very well. They live essentially debt free other than the young ones early in their careers with mortgages.[/quote] You sound like you don’t know anyone either. I have yet to see my residential contractors suggest their own kids go into the trades and I have used mine for 20 years and have gotten to know them. According to a new WalletHub study ranking the best and worst entry-level U.S. jobs in 2025, trade roles dominate the bottom of the list. Welders, automotive mechanics, boilermakers, and drafters all rank among the least promising career starters. Worse still, jobs like building inspectors, electricians, and plumbers are tied to the highest unemployment rate in the entire study at 7.2%—more than three times that of entry-level office jobs like budget analysts or financial analysts, which sit closer to 2.0%.[/quote]
