Don't miss Part 2 >>>

32 weeks down in the books - thank you!
Last week, I told you about how skilled workers don’t feel recessions.
Get this:
While corporate workers stress about layoffs, trade school grads quietly keep cashing checks.
🔹 HVAC techs? $60K-$100K a year.
🔹 Appliance repair techs? Same.
🔹 Maintenance techs? Even more.
Meanwhile, college grads with $100K in student loans are still struggling to land an entry-level job.
Yet, schools continue to push students into massive debt for degrees that don’t guarantee a job or a stable career.
It’s time to start talking about the real opportunity—TRADE SCHOOL.
We Need to Change the Conversation
For years, the message has been:
💸 “Go to college, or you’ll never make good money.”
💸 “If you don’t get a degree, you’ll struggle your whole life.”
Guess what? That was a lie.
We see it every day—people with degrees waiting tables, drowning in debt, while skilled tradespeople double their wages in months, not years.
And here’s the kicker:
➡ We have a labor shortage in HVAC, appliance repair, and maintenance techs.
➡ The demand for skilled workers is skyrocketing.
➡ People in the trades are making six figures with no debt.
But nobody’s talking about it.
It’s On Us to Spread the Word
You know someone who needs to hear this.
Maybe it’s:
📌 A young person stuck at a dead-end job.
📌 A parent trying to figure out the best path for their kid.
📌 Someone tired of working paycheck to paycheck with no way out.
If college isn’t the right fit, trade school is the answer.
And the best part? It’s fast, affordable, and leads to real money.
We have to start telling the truth—there’s another path, and it works.
If this message hits home, share it. Tell someone. Start the conversation.
Because the next time a recession comes?
Trade school grads will be the ones hiring.
Until Next Time
Control what YOU can control, take action, and don’t forget to smile.
