The economy is on fire again… and not in a good way.
📉 Tariffs are rising
📉 Layoffs are coming
📉 Recession fears are everywhere
Corporate America is bracing for impact. Job security is shaky, wages are stagnant, and people are starting to panic.
But do you know who’s NOT worried?
🔨 Maintenance techs—they keep buildings running.
⚡ Appliance repair techs—because people always need their stuff fixed.
❄️ HVAC techs—Texas heat doesn’t care about the economy.
Because when things break, somebody has to fix them. And those “somebodies” will always be in demand.
Trade school grads don’t get laid off. They don’t rely on stock markets, government bailouts, or “hoping” things improve.
They work, get paid, and thrive—recession or not.
And the best part? You can become one in just a few months.
I’ll show you exactly how in Part 2. Stay tuned.
Control what YOU can control, take action, and don’t forget to smile.
