But, we have 300 million people and the trades aren’t going to keep them all feed and housed. Look at the big picture.
Glad you’ve done well. I’d wager you’re an owner of your own business, and not a plumber working for an owner. Would I win that bet?
(I didn’t start to make money until I left the work force and became an “entrepreneur”. I made more money with dog walking as an owner than I ever did as an employee)
I don’t see how it’s an argument against finding a job in the trades that not literally everyone can do that. Not everyone can be a doctor either - doesn’t mean you shouldn’t chase that if it’s what you want to do. Tons of people are more or less succesfully climbing the corporate ladder and have no desire to do anything else. This advice isn’t for those people but the ones that are struggling with that or worrying that it is not AI proof - there are alternatives to it.
And yes nowdays I do own my bussiness but that wasn’t always the case. I had a higher income as an employee. I traded that for more freedom and meaning.
That’s great.
