We have an entire generation or 2 of pussified "boys". And any YOUNG MAN who wants to get into the skilled trades can name their price these days. An HVAC tech can make 6 figures EASILY and start from scratch and be in business for their self inside of 2-3 years. Same with an electrician or even a plumber. Don't get me started on welders as they are in massive demand and with solid skills can literally name their own price. A TIG welder that is good can make EASILY $150-200,000 yearly. Sure it's hot work, but you take the trade-off for above average pay.
Show me a LWNJ's kid that would even REMOTELY think about that career choice path.
Much depends on where you live.
The best jobs [high end] in new construction and in remodels usually goes to union labor.
I've worked both ends of that spectrum.
