I think the skilled trades are a great choice for the right kid, but let’s not romanticize it either. My nephew is an apprentice plumber and he works hard, back breaking hours in conditions that many wouldn’t enjoy (including in the vats at a hot sauce plant). While he makes decent money it is nowhere near six figures and he is 2 years into it (started right out of HS).
