Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowWhy blue-collar jobs feel out of reachTurns out, landing a job in the trades isn’t as easy as everyone says. One experienced electrician shared how he applied to every company in his city—only to find the doors closed, the pipeline jammed, and the process full of red tape and insider connections. Even unions, often seen as the golden ticket, are backlogged for ages. Many companies want years of schooling just to offer low starting pay. It’s not just the trades, either—people in tech, healthcare, and law are running into the same walls. Have you or someone you know hit similar barriers? Let’s talk about what’s really going on in today’s job market. #Business #JobSearch #Trades00Share
Shelley Neal+FollowMy plumber charges $150/hr with zero debt. I have a Master's and huge loans. Who's the fool?I called a plumber today. He charged me $200 for 30 minutes of work. He laughed and said he's been making money since he was 20 and owns two houses now. Meanwhile, I bought the "you must go to college" lie, sitting here with $80k in student loans and a mediocre office salary. Are we all being scammed by the education system? Is a degree even worth the paper it's printed on anymore? #StudentLoans #CollegeScam #BlueCollar #Trades #Economy85Share
