Because colleges pushed the "without a degree, you'll be flipping burgers and living in your mom's basement". When the reality is, trades make bank.

Right now in Poland people with a degree struggle to get by working shit government and corpo jobs while people after trade schools buy summer homes and drive new cars. In Spain were I live they don't make as much money but they sure as hell don't have to worry about work. I'm trying to find someone to do some reforms and people simply ignore you. They have so much work they simply don't care if you will hire them or not. And a lot of those jobs a not back-breaking. AC technicians have shitload of work now and will only have more.

O yea, HVAC in the states is big but with the planet continuing to become an oven, the EU is just getting started with HVAC, ton of money to be had there.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 points 4 hours ago

Even in places where HVAC is big like Spain you can't get a technician to look at it during summer. In smaller towns everything is difficult. Young people don't want to do those jobs and older guys have so much work you have to chase them to get anything done. My family had to wait over a year for painter.

funny, because even WITH a degree, you'll end up flipping burgers. But with a degree, you'll have thousands of dollars of debt to pay back too.
