[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly? Outwardly I be okay with it (to them) but I work for Disability and know how easy it is to get a life altering (or at least job altering) injury working in a trade. So that part would worry me. So as soon as they started working I would ensure they have disability I surface and a set up for retirement since most trades are unlikely to have a 401k account.[/quote]
There are a lot of trades openings in city and county governments as well as unions, which provide excellent benefits for trades people. my dad and brother both work moderately physical trade jobs and have really nice lives[/quote]

And a lot don't. It all comes down to where you live. My father-in-law lives in TX and still works as an electrician at 75 because he has barely any retirement and there was no union support there and he is struggling to do the job now at his age. I am not saying that golden trades with excellent benefits don't exist, but we deal with hundreds of thousands of disability cases a year and it's not office jobs. [/quote]
