[QUOTE="Stonewall Jackson, post: 1324029, member: 17875"] 1. The trades are often hard work. If you're a single guy it's really, really easy to get by on your own working 30 hours at Wal Mart or Pizza Hut. The collapse of young marriage is the culprit. Failure to launch is a real problem. 2. There is a certain minimum IQ required. It's different than when unskilled line work jobs in a factory that could support a family were a dime a dozen. 3. Lots of people don't want to go back to trade school after graduating college and realizing they fucked up. 4. Lots of socially isolated or socially siloed people don't know anybody in the skilled trades. People tend to learn about specific jobs or general career ideas through connections. [/QUOTE]
