Two words: Skilled trades. If you’re looking for a solid alternative to a four-year college degree, if working with your hands is more satisfying than sitting at a desk, if you want good pay and plenty of job opportunities, this is the answer you’re looking for.
This book details the opportunities for blue collar workers, including the old standbys such as builders, electricians, mechanics and technicians but also includes new opportunities such as the emerging green-collar opportunities in farming and alternative energy.
