America’s drive to compete with China in manufacturing requires a lot more skilled workers.
Here’s how Tennessee’s offer of free technical schools - and its partnership with car manufacturers in the state - is starting to pay off.

You can make a good living as a blue collar worker. Not everybody needs a college degree to become successful. The problem stems from the constant push to get kids into college with school counselors promoting the "Work smart, not hard" agenda as if working in a trade is something to be ashamed of.

@Gltokensp06 Жыл бұрын

I agree but you have a generation of folks that were told that the only way we were going to be successful was if we became engineers, doctors, IT, or lawyers. So now we have a ton of highly educated people with specific degrees coupled with the lowest living affordability of any modern generation, and that's why trade skills don't seem viable. Trying to raise a family on $60,000 a year seems like a struggle to most people nowadays

College isn't meant for everyone and the trades are where it's at! Many people get useless degrees and huge loans, I know plenty of people like that. I got my engineering degree and now I'm 28, earn $115k, no debt, and work fully remote! But how many can be and excel as engineers? I've let many of my cousins know the trap that is college and to be realistic with their ability and willingness. If it's not a fit then I push them to the trades, military, or civil service. No need to work in an office if you're barely making more than min wage.

@andyhughes1776 11 ай бұрын

Because for the last 30 years, all the trade jobs moved overseas to places like China. No trade jobs here in America so they had to market the 4 year college thing. Then they found out most college grads can't find work.

This is the American Business Standard: make the public sector pay for the privilege of hosting a business. It works in sports (taxpayers pay for stadiums, etc but can't afford a ticket to the game) and a multitude of other industries that receive public funding both directly and indirectly including in the example of this video, publicly paid worker training. Since Germany is alluded to as a prelude, let's look at the other half of the equation. The German state heavily subsidizes businesses but also collects corporate taxes that would be considered outrageous by American standards. Furthermore, German businesses are not permitted to simply pull up stakes and ships factories overseas, nor are they allowed to oppose unions. They are required to put employees first and business opportunities second. Overpaid executives are a rarity. Frankly, I am becoming sickened by the business and opportunity crowd demolishing all cooperative institutions on the altar of profit.

There are, google electrictian & mechanic apprentiships. Once you take on an apprentiship with sombody, then you legally have to go to 12 or 24 weeks of school each year and onsite work for the rest. There is less or no school year 3&4. They get paid every week too if the school is doing a 24 week rotation of 3days school, 2days on site, then 2 days, then 1 day , then none, getting paid more and more each year. A friend of mine even got a 2 year networking apprentiship in SA, but they are hard to find. There is also furniture making apprentiship, which is thought through an art college, but you don't have to. These only turn the system on it's head in y1. Class first, then you try find an aprentiship with a local company, then you do the same rotation. but now you had no income while at class in the first year. It's different in Germany, your paid by the government to go to these schools, but SA doesn't have the money for that.

There are lots of so called white collar jobs that really could be apprenticeships…long apprenticeships but still done without the need for going through a university filter…nursing and medicine for example could be honestly done through an apprenticeship…yes…a long one but they are more technical and hands on…that’s what a residency is after all…an apprenticeship…all medical fields could be done that way…my only concern is that if all education is strictly tuned to a specific employer, what happens when that employer goes out of business then? It needs to be a skill more general than that, so students can start their own businesses if they choose…apart from that…this is one of the best answers clearly…

The US is one of the top destinations in the world for skilled labor. They will import their shortages and they will do so quickly.
