Trades is for everyone that is willing to take it. Except for the reporter that looks like high maintenance and barbie girl...

America is a place where you make it big without going to indoctrination camp. Oopps I mean College.
@patraic5241 Says:
GOOD. We desperately need new blood in the Skilled Trades. I work inspecting construction and testing construction materials. Easily 90% of the tradesmen I meet are grey beards. Yes there are a handful of women. Maybe 1 in 50 or less. Most of those 90% are looking at retirement in the next 5-10 years. New construction or renovating existing buildings is going to come to a screeching halt with out young men stepping up.

Congrats to the young Americans who choose to work with their hands! I love seeing valuable skills taught to this younger generation! College is just an expensive babysitter for 95% of college graduates!

"CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD,  I beg you to never force me to worship any false god and I ask you for forgiveness for my sins and immorality. Thank you for everything. Amen." Please pray this now, pray the words as you read them if you cannot look and remember them 🙏☺🙏☺🙏☺🙏☺🙏☺ Please worship the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, THE LORD GOD and try not to worry too much about the differences between the different religions and denominations, try to think about the similarities and the things they may have in common more than the differences. Daily prayer is a fundamental part that many people do not practice although it is encouraged

Stupid kids have to take inferior jobs. The way it has always been.
@user-jb6wt6bh2z Says:
Now it's mainly because of indoctrination, the cost of tuition and now the anti American protests. The entire education system has failed us from top to bottom.

Work hard, Tiffany. Thousands of gender-studies graduates with student loans depend on you!

Smart.
@NadimShaikh4AUTOSERVICE Says:
Early ✨ and best decision to make right now is quitting high school and go for trade school 🎒 and actually learn something that pays.
@One-More-Silver-Dollar Says:
Good decision. Unless you want to be a nurse or an engineer, college is a money laundering scam banks and politicians promote. Don’t hate the students for admitting they made a big mistake taking on these predatory loans, blame your politicians and bankers. Banks want bailed out now because most students can’t pay it back because there are not as many high paying jobs like decades ago. The banks will get “forgiven”, while students get blamed.

@adriarose778 Says:
I commend these amazing individuals for choosing a trade career over college. Traditional higher education has been compromised, and people should explore other options. Forgo college and Hollywood. Time to shake things up.
@streetbob8607 Says:
My son graduated as an honors student at a private high school....he did one year of college studying chemical engineering and said "waste of time ".... dropped out and is enrolled at a program at the community college to get his electrician certification....it's the wrong message to keep pushing college on these young people ....a strong work ethic....beats a college degree.
@maryohare4141 Says:
I came from a big family. We have in three generations... a plumber, electrician, roofers, skilled construction workers, furniture makers, furnace installers and repairers and concrete makers. We hire our family members and that includes building or repairing our homes. By doing this...we know we will get quality work and help all of us earn good incomes.
@Fantom6400 Says:
These trade schools are the ones that get the jobs done. Not some useless $120k liberal arts or gender studies degree. I'm glad I never went to college, went straight to work right outta high school I've worked in warehouses as a machine operator and now I work as a land surveyor for an engineering company. I plan on opening my own shop within the next couple years.
@nancymayes2758 Says:
Good for them! I was 52 when I went to college. and got a PHD, and still worked for 25 years.
@bonitatinkle1909 Says:
College makes our children crazy.. Get a career and stay away from college

Look at Columbia uni, college in the USA is a scam and joke.
@IcyBird420 Says:
They need to save a massive amount of that money they make for medical bills unless they plan on relying on the free government health care.
@oldmantex374 Says:
Many trades pay MUCH more than college education jobs. Around my area electrician and skilled craftsmen make a minimum of 80-90K with NO overtime. You can exceed 100K easily.
@bigjimtenbillion Says:
College is a waste of time and money Unless you are going to be a doctor, lawyer or some type of engineer. Trade school accomplishes the same thing without all the overhead costs. I went to trade school and became a master automobile technician I retired in '02 making $36 an hour flat rate which adjusted for inflation is about $60 an hour now. Went into business for myself, make 6 figures and I am the boss. Best thing you can do is trade school Training costs less and you start making money right away I didn't have 100k in student loan debt And a worthless piece of paper on the wall College is a scam and many kids get taken for a ride. If you aren't going to be a doctor, lawyer or engineer you got no business wasting taxpayer dollars and your own going to college
@jryank22 Says:
As our population grows, our infrastructure needs to grow. There will always be a place for skilled trades. I have a union job in Florida, a state known for low wages for trades, and we have apprentices in the six figure range. Can realistically expect 60-70k as a first year.
@sirken2 Says:
I have told several of my buddies who struggled with college about the value of good welders some listened to me love their job and make good money.
@guywebster8018 Says:
Bad move imo..... I know. Im a painter from texas. Outsourced to an illegal. 😂
@ShakeNBake8869 Says:
this is fantastic we need millions of engineers, electricians and all other trades. people who build with their hands wont be replaced by AI for a very very long time i suspect.
@Ap_twsh Says:
Really pushing woman in labor intense jobs. Agenda is clear.
@MatrixMultiplication Says:
Try it???? I already have…and I have a body that hurts and limited mobility ALL THE TIME!!!! How about F U! You try it and feel it!!!
@kennethross3567 Says:
Smart move😊
@elvira2756 Says:
Wonder how long it'll take for these schools to start the same sexual perversion classes and anti American brainwashing being shoved down the throats of elementary, high school, and university students today?
@tamaracardon-smith9230 Says:
Good..about time.
@Independent57 Says:
My friends, Fox News is just blowing a big smoke screen in your face so you don’t pay attention to the wealthy making record profits by doubling their prices and gouging us! They use the news to drive wedge issues between us like abortion, like the border issue, like political issues to keep us all arguing! If we all started getting along, they would be horrified! They would be afraid that would start voting together to make new laws to force the wealthy to pay their fair share in taxes, into to make our lives better! Believe me when I tell you that Fox News is owned by corporations that want to see you stay in debt! The wealthy billionaires have turned their back on America and they paid off the Supreme Court so they can get away with whatever they want do! they’ve moved their corporations overseas, and turn their back on the middle-class Americans that many of them grew up with!

Unless you are wanting to become a Dr.. or lawyer or something that requires a specific degree....... stay the hell away from college.

Being an ironworker is honorable and (relatively) high paying, but definitely not for everyone…
@Firenicetarot Says:
You don't even have to do this full time. But you can make a decent wage while you pursue or save to persue something else. Nobody wants to be stuck working at McDonald's if they don't go to college right away.
@robertwrede7843 Says:
Best move ever.
@spiritanimal7516 Says:
This is probably just propaganda considering how the younger generation is
@carolkingsafer9728 Says:
Learn a Trade and eat for life 😊 You can also make a 6 figure income these days as well 😉
@megastick9324 Says:
I’ve told dozens of young people, do an apprenticeship. You get paid as you learn and, later, if you want to try college you can. If it doesn’t work out you will always have that trade to fall back on. Everyone isn’t built for iron work or boilermakers etc. but there’s always a big demand for electrical, instrumentation, etc. less physical and more knowledge based trades that pay really well. Retired iron worker 397.
