Good luck. All of the trades are begging for good people in the New Albany area. I was giving my electrician and earfull the other day about a few of his guys that caused me to fail a building inspection. "If I fire them today, they will be working for my competition tomorrow and I have no one to replace them with." That's where we are right now with the labor market.

Yep, the labor shortage is very real, everywhere. Especially in the building construction trades. I've never seen it like this.

Same for diesel techs. No pool to draw from.

My 22 yr old son made 6 figures. Certified in most welding and does concrete, blacktop, and construction. He also does small engine repair to car engines rebuilds on the side. Flips stuff he buys. Lately, flipping boats. I have a good collection of stuff in the field. Parts in the garage and who know where. He's my hunting buddy, but hard to hunt with him. Phone goes off continually. Works though 6 to 7 days a week and when not working he's helping me. On 21st we are digging a 100 foot trench for water and electric from the house to new barn. Only day off rest of this month. It seems most one's his age are worthless in understanding and know how to build or fixing stuff.

There is MONEY to be made in skilled trades.....why our society doesn't push more trade school vs traditional university to high school grads is beyond me. NOT EVERYONE IS MEANT TO BE AN ENGINEER, DOCTOR OR LAWYER!

Agree, my youngest son just got a 50k raise this year. He’s in the broadcast tower industry. Never home but makes over 200k. Hard to find good help he says, not many have the nerve to do that kind of work.

NOT EVERYONE IS MEANT TO BE AN ENGINEER, DOCTOR OR LAWYER! Lots of money for someone who wants to work I’ve done HVAC for 40 years and I can tell you in another few years most the guys in the trades I know are hanging it up and there’s not a whole lot of people to replace us I’ve read in the Fort Wayne and surrounding area over 40% of the trades will be retired in the next 7 years and they are only be replaced at 10% Think service calls are expensive now just wait till that hits

Our society as a whole has made "work" a bad word!

I was an EE automaton controls engineer for years and the last dozen years all, but a few EE's went into other EE fields. This includes my son David that's an EE grad this year. The integrators are begging for Controls plc programmers. I do software cloud programming now. That's why sometimes I'm brain dead trying to put a sentence together.

I have a picture of a buddy of mine on top of a super high wind turbine in the northwest. He works for a company that erects them.
They have a motto - "once a day or you can't stay"
