[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plumbers and electrons are making about 300/hr around here so I think there is a good living to be had in the trades. It's getting worse every day - you cant find anyone.[/quote] My brother is in HVAC and got his master's apprenticeship, so he makes good money. But, it is very hard on your body. He is 45 and is tired and struggling to keep up. [/quote] Yeah, that can be a downside. Many skilled trades are hard work and hard on the body (and I say this as someone with extended family members who work in construction, lay carpet, etc.). If my kid went into one of those, I would tell them to save very aggressively for retirement. But a skilled trade that can't be outsourced has some advantages, too. [/quote]
