People with actual skills are going to be able to make some serious bank in the next 10-20 years. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, welders, machinists, etc. People with worthless degrees will be boned though.

I have a daughter that will be a SR in high school in August. Trying to help her figure out what to do is something I've been struggling with. She's not exactly going to be a plumber.

I’d steer mine towards medicine or nursing.

Does she not like that type of work or do you just think plumbing would be good for her?

Paul Graham has an excellent essay

How to do great work

IMO, focus on core principles vs trying to predict trends like what happens with AI.

We had an excellent woman plumber in HSV, AR. She took over the business from her father who did it part-time while working as a prison guard. She even came out herself to fix/replace odds and ends when we were selling even though she was about ready to give birth.

Of course the generational thing helps and I’m gonna guess that OP daddy is not a plumber, so probably not gonna work out as well.

With our aging population something in the medical industry might be a good bet. My daughter is in school to be an X-Ray technician. My one concern is I'm hearing that field is getting saturated

Has she considered becoming a wife and mother?

Travel nurse for a bit, make some great money, see the country, then go back to school and become a Nurse Practitioner.

She'll always have a solid, good paying job available.
