Electricians, plumbers, automotive mechanics, and HVAC can all find jobs and make good money. Trade school or journeyman is a good start for the average kid out of high school.
Back when Obama was in office, half of the college grads couldn't find jobs. The half that couldn't were liberal arts majors. Engineers, lawyers, business degrees, aquaculture, forestry, teachers, computer programming, could all find jobs. Teaching was the only "liberal arts" degree that could find jobs. In other words, people who actually designed or built things or produced things got jobs. Psycology, and other specialty degrees in liberals arts are useless as far as getting a job and making money.
Most people work in the trade skills anyway, not college graduates. Only 20% of Americans have college degrees. Probably 40% work in the trade industries.
