re: High-Paying Trade Jobs Sit Empty, While High School Grads Line Up For University

I know a guy who makes 400k a year doing electrical work for farmers on irrigation pivots/wells and such. He can't find a young guy willing to do it to take over when he retires in a couple years. Makes more than most local doctors/lawyers do

So one guy makes a lot of money while the rest work under houses in the hundred degree heat for 35k and no benefits. You can make money in the trades, but it's really hard. How some of you don't understand that these people are so outside of the norm that it really shouldn't be considered is astounding.
