The skilled trades haven't caught as a career choice with Gen Z
I would absolutely be up for doing a skilled trade as a side job but the problem is I&#x27;d have to do a really long course and work as an unpaid slave laborer... to learn how to stick a pipe into another pipe.<p>All these weird trade jobs have these ridiculous requirements as if it&#x27;s actually mentally challenging to learn them. If you want to shoe horses you need to do a fucking bachelor&#x27;s degree equivalent in horse shoeing. If you want to remove ingrown toenails it&#x27;s the same. I could learn that shit in a week and you&#x27;re telling me I&#x27;d have to spend half a decade gaining a piece of paper just because they want to pretend it&#x27;s hard? You&#x27;re hammering nails into a fucking horse.
