I don’t know a plumber or electrician who made under 100k last year, even the laziest of the lazy ones I know (probably 25 combined). Some made over 250k. None of them have any student debt. None are baristas or DoorDash for extra cash. Only one electrician I know is a renter.
I would encourage kids, especially boys, this is the way.

For some, it may be, but it's not for everyone.

so they didnt ahve to spend years to get their masters license? they never had to make $10 an hour
they never had to work their arse off in the rain, mud, heat, cold etc?
sorry i have worked in the trades and worked as an engineer in management...trust me, only a fool would encourage his kids to work in the trades if they are capable of getting some type of STEM degree.

Not disputing your personal anecdote, but every single study proves that college graduates make considerably more then non college graduates. It gets even more skewed with graduate degrees.
It’s not a debate. Wishing it to be doesn’t change that reality.

If I had a son in middle school that wasn't a clear fricking engineering or math genius, this is absolutely what I would be pushing.
