After reading the lamentations about kids not learning a trade, I confess my ignorance about trade schools.

What trades do you consider the most useful? What schools have the best bang for the buck for value?

There are community colleges that offer some trade training, but I don't know if those are a good starting point. I've seen ads for auto mechanics, but don't know if they're just a fancy website with little training.

Some of the trades I would consider vital are: Electrician, Welder, Plumber, HVAC, Auto Mechanic, Carpentry, and Mason.


Thoughts?

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
