re: What are the best trades to get into today?

All the trades are a good option. Boomers are retiring and there’s not enough gen x to meet demand. Gen y and z don’t want to do that kind of work. My son is in welding school. There’s already people coming in to look at their welds and talk to the instructor. He’s gotten some compliments from those people, he’ll probably have offers waiting for him when he graduates.
