The trades get shat upon by those that insist that college is the only answer after high school. Everyone must have a BS, if they want access to jobs that can materially improve their conditions in life.
Talk to kids 30 years ago and they wanted to be rock stars that party and get girls/guys all the time.
Know why people don’t want to work? Because wages are laughable unless you are white collar or highly skilled. Those that actually make the things that are providing the record breaking profits are paid the least, and work under constant fear of messing up. Thanks to right to work, union engagement is terrible. Thanks also to at-will employment, for the constant specter of $360/week of unemployment. Does that even cover rent, which has never been higher?
Who wants to work in an environment that they have no protection, stagnant wages, and live in constant fear of being fired due to a mistake?
