Why You Should Consider A Career In A Skilled Trade?

August 29, 2023 by Johnny

Careers In A Skilled Trade

Are you in need of a career upgrade? Better pay, better benefits, better hours, better co-workers, and a better life for you and your family? 

A lot has changed since the turn of the century, but everyday working men and women continue to be the driving force of a healthy economy. If you’ve never considered a skilled trade, it may be time for you to do just that.

Here’s why: 

You Gain Experience Immediately

Learning a skilled trade is a hands-on experience! Rather than spending your time sitting in a classroom for what can seem like forever for a degree, you’ll learn by doing with hands-on training. With skilled trade careers, you can normally start off in an apprenticeship which allows you to be right on the floor learning from a top skilled professional. 

Trades Are In High Demand 

Plumbing, gas and electrical skills are all required on a day to day basis. These jobs are the kind that will never become obsolete, offering enviable job security in a changeable economy. No matter what new technology comes and goes throughout the coming years, society will always need people to build new roads, construct new homes, keep the lights on, and keep drains unclogged and flowing. 

You Aren’t Going To Start Deep In A Financial Hole

According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2016–2017 school year was $33,480 at private colleges, $9,650 for state residents at public colleges, and $24,930 for out-of-state residents attending public universities.
 
By earning an associate’s degree at a trade school or community college, many students graduate with little or no debt.
 
There are also scholarships, grants and loans available at your disposal. Skilled trade careers not only walk away without a huge amount of debt but, also with real world experiences. 
 

The Trades Provide A Comfortable Standard Of Living

Of course, the number one question is “What is the pay?”. Salaries vary between state, company size, years of experience, industry and level of education, but most in the skilled trade field make a good living.
