Skilled trades can be done anywhere in the world. You are not tied to a production line.
I have seen all the options being discussed here. I joined the Army and lived abroad for years in Europe. When I came home I joined a union with a 4-year apprentice plan. It was only 4 weeks of school a year with the rest being learning on the job.
At night, I went to college with GI bill. After I finished a 2-year degree I started traveling to work. We built and refinished some amazing hotels and residential buildings. Visiting and living in major cities on the east and west coast.
I can use my "trade skill" anywhere in the world. I would suggest any young kid learn a trade.
Someone has to build that high-tower so the smarts can look down on us. From their cubical.
