    People are willing to pay it, therefore they will charge it.

    We badly need people in the skilled trades. The jobs pay well, are in high demand, and don’t require you go go into massive college debt.

      They also are not hiring, or require someone to help you get through the door, just like everything else these days. Telling people to do trade work is incredibly tone-deaf.

        Which trades are you referring to?

        I live close by to a community college that allows basically anyone to fairly quickly (1-2 yrs) get into a trade. I know several people who did. It’s not “easy” in the sense that yeah, you’re still learning a whole fucking skillset and trying to land your first adult job, but it’s definitely… extremely doable…?
