Plumbing/electrical is a tie with regional and industry playing big factors.

Tell him to learn Spanish and he'll be foreman within a week.

You don’t know much about troubleshooting electrical problems.

HVAC work for a few years until your licensed then buy a van and bingo you are a small business owner who has to turn business down your so busy.
I'm 41 with an accounting degree and looking back wished I had gone that route.

You are literally retarded when it comes to anything touching electrical troubleshooting.

Yes, you are incredibly ignorant and you put enormous effort and pride into demonstrating your ignorance in almost every thread you post in.

Can't go wrong with either Plumbing, Electrical, or HVAC. Here's how I'd rank them though:
1) Plumbing
2) HVAC
3) Electrical

How many Mingos does it take to change a lightbulb?

Plumber.
Welders make good pay too, but they often work in extremely tough conditions and usually can only gain income directly related to their hours worked. Also welders have to chase specific locations for good pay and work. Plumbers can find work wherever water and sewer is(EVERYWHERE)
A plumber or HVAC Tech can run their own business/crews and make great money while being hands free of the wrench within 10-15 years of learning their craft.
A master plumber with a couple good hands will forever be in demand and can often name his and his crew's rate.

Tell him to test for the US Navy’s enlisted Nuclear Power Program.
6 year hitch and he can go right into a Nuclear RO role on the commercial side making 150K per year.

Look, you’re not looking to hustle for 45 years. Tell the kid if he is going into a trade, he needs to decide what will make him his own boss the quickest.
You can retire in 25 years at FD, most of these guys say working Tuesday and Friday a particular week at FD, just work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at side job. Technically still have that weekend off. The HVAC guy only pulls weekend emergency calls once a month

In 10 years we won't need plumbers, electricians, welders or people to work on AC?

Of course we will, but what we consider plumbers or electricians or welders may be completely different.
And that's only 10 years. This kid has 40 years to go.
Electricians evolve, change with the times. Just like a CPA or attorney has to complete hours of continuing education, so does an electrician.

One to hold the ladder, one to unscrew it, and one to take the other two to the hospital to remove it and the replacement bulb from their assholes.

IT, if and only if he gets his certifications immediately afterwards.
If you can escape help desk hell, you'll enter a world of endless cash and fun opportunities.

He must have really done poorly...tell him to learn Revit, or another BIM (building information modeling), software. It would allow for a commercial plumbing/HVAC/Electrical career, or just stick with modeling and building.
