    True, I suppose, but factory jobs? I thought those dried up when we gave China all our manufacturing.

      Yeah he’s not wrong, but US manufacturing is a shadow of its former self.

      Trades like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC still have plenty of demand though.

        And those have their own pitfalls such as wearing your body out by the time you’re 50 and big boom periods followed by big bust periods.
