For experienced tradesmen and little to no benefits. No surprise kids aren't lining up for these jobs.
I know a trim carpenter who earns enough to sink more into his race car in a given year than most OT'rs pretend to earn.

Oh, and most of the work is hot exhausting and dirty.
So what. Better than being a fatass sitting in a cubical all day.

Working in a cubical doesn't make you fat. If anything it allows you to be rested for a good cardio workout sometime during the day. Also, plenty of fatasses work in the trades. Crawling under houses doesn't burn all that many calories but it does make you too tired to get an actual workout.

No heath insurance or retirement savings no doubt.
The pay in the trades is going to have to rise quite a bit more before kids turn down STEM jobs.
