I learned how to be a plumber, electrician, hvac tech, framer, finisher etc… out of necessity when I was growing up in the 80s. Was too poor to pay someone else to do it so I figured it out. I have multiple degrees and a great income now, but I still do those things because I want to keep my skill of “figuring things out” sharp. Plus, I love working with my hands on objects I can’t kill.

I think you are exactly right. It seems like colleges are more interested in pushing ideologies and changing societal norms than actually educating students. Sad state of affairs. Keep pushing trade schools.

This video timing is perfect. As a fellow HSHS grad and a trades professional myself, I have been talking about this to youth for years. My wife and I even provide a scholarship at Rosemount high for youth going into the trades. The only requirement is the trades. Keep showing the trades and just what the future could be for anyone. More than willing to talk or collaborate anytime. Thanks again. Great job. Stay strong.

I work the landscape trade and I have a Masters degree. The degree enhances the trade. The degree wasn't necessary but I made it work for me. I went to the U of M twin cities and thought it was great. The key is to have an open mind and think critically about everything. Indoctrination can and does happen in all parts of society. Left, right, liberal, conservative, religious, not religious. Think critically & come to your own judgements. Thanks Stan for another good video.

The difference between learning a trade vs having a college degree: The college grad can not live their life without the trades. The tradesman can live just fine without the college grad.

“Frankie likes to overbuild stuf”. Frankie sounds like my type of guy. Stan, I love your take and have enjoyed seeing you getting more into the political and spiritual discussions. I agree with you about the indoctrination at colleges. I am more pessimistic than you about job security for the trades. I hate to be so negative, but I believe robots are coming for every job. It may take 5 years. It may even take 10, but I believe it will happen gradually. Unless regular people choose to hire only companies that hire humans, companies will bring on more and more automation. We could already technically build them, but it it may not be financially feasible yet. Now that multiple companies are promising robots in the next year or two, It may force prices on robots down. Once it gets to the point that the robot costs a couple years salary, companies might start buying them and replacing jobs which will just increase demand. I hope I’m wrong. Thanks for all the info and entertainment I’ve gotten from you. Keep it up.
@CrispyCircuitsАй бұрын
Actually, you are right. This process started years ago, but with humans in the factories. Some residential housing builders have been ordering pre-built wall sections and trusses for roofs. The contractors mark the slab, stand up the walls, and use trusses. Robots will replace the factory workers. However, for right now, we still need humans for the fine details. Slabs sink, walls and headers twist, doorways and window openings are not always quite right. I was a subcontractor with cornice. Then I worked for the builders. I got tired of getting late draws from them and I moved to remodeling. So much better, except it was dirty work. Harder for estimates, too. I most definitely did not do electrical, HVAC, plumbing, gas, network lines, repair tons of appliances, limited commercial work, painting, pressure washing, tree trimming, roofing, junk hauling, drywall, insulation including covering the inside walls and ceilings with thick plastic rolls to keep the fiberglass from getting in the air if the job had a long delay before drywall or never to have drywall, or covering roof decking with a double layer of 30lb with a ton of tin caps to prevent water getting in when shingling was delayed for a long time. Nope. Because that would require talking to other contractors and extensive studying technical books to insure quality and proper installation. As far as colleges, I studied Chemistry and Biochemistry, ran out of money with 2 classes to take. I did come away with the techniques for extremely precise measuring (very easy if you know how) and one semester of Spanish. Which, living in Texas, brought me up to full fluency through working and living almost only in Spanish.

The brotherhood in the trades was seen on Saturday 4/27/24 when we laid an Asplundh General Foreman to rest, 27 years on the job, died of cancer. Tree guys and lineman from the CT, MA, and RI area all showed up to pay their respects to his wife, kid, crew and former crew member. Half of the guys who showed, didn’t know the deceased like most of us there did, but they all showed up to see him be laid to rest. That’s how the trades are.

Let me tell you, if you look around the school, you will find plenty of students laughing at the bafoons that are protesting America and all that BS. Additionally, most of my friends are mediocrely handy and with Frats we learn how to build a lot. I am a finance major and will likely go into investment banking out of college. I am also looking at being a commercial contractor, specializing in buildings over 60ksqft. But I agree whole system is brutal.

You nailed it Stan. This obsession with college is nuts. And the indoctrination that is now within our education system...which begins before college.... is downright scary. I say that as a college graduate. When I graduated from high school 55 years ago, many parents were pushing kids to go to college. Yet in my high school we had programs for auto, carpentry, electricians, and metal (machinists). Life was a bit simpler then, but, for example, most of the guys (yes all guys in these programs back then) in the auto program went straight to auto dealerships to begin their careers. My parents, neither of whom went to college, were thankfully not among the parents pushing their kids to college and just let me find my way. Decided I wanted to be a CPA and did that and M&A advice until I retried. But we have needed, do need and always will need tradesmen.....and accountants I hope.😉
