More states need to following Wyoming’s example. Offer affordable two year certification programs at community college for people who wanna work in those industries
isn't $70,000 pretty high? that's more than my computer science degree pays
Trade jobs are the hidden gem and may be the way for many to make a "family wage" so their wife can stay home and care for the kids.
Better make companies train their employees and stop offloading onto subsidized state education
Being a machinist isnt podunk work. It takes skill on equipment you wont have in your garage
Ok some people do but not poor familirs starting out
Ya you don’t want people trained ‘on the job’ in some of those industries. Especially extraction industries because a mistake can cost lives or ecological disasters.
You need some sort of background and understanding before you get there otherwise you’re a liability
@hbutzer0511 "hey due process... 🖕🏻 ~NY Governor" 😡
Muh classrom isnt going to replace on the job training
Companies have to train people anyway at some point.
Even if they send them to consolidated training
For example my cousin hires elitricians at $40/hr (canadian) and pays for their trade education
Out of highshool
wow nice
@Asatru Artist - MD If I were a I.E. member in New York..I would consider exploring a new homestead.
Well in Wyoming it is a trade education you’re getting. You don’t get any sort of degree just a certification, and it’s all a hands on learning approach
@hbutzer0511 that red flag law has already gotten one guy murdered by police here in MD
Trade education is definitly better than nothing
@Asatru Artist - MD What was the scenario?
I still think companies copping out of training and then importing high skill visas is bs
H1b visas need to stop
basically the guy got accused of being dangerous by a family member, police show up, things happen, dude ends up dead
no due process, no actual crime committed
@⚡Clark⚡ All non-marriage and (White) -adoption visas need to stop.
It’s also a social problem. We’ve told all the kids in America you can go to college for four years, get a degree in basket weaving, and make 100k/yr
@Asatru Artist - MD "Potentially dangerous people." Pre-crime much?
@Drover Tom I knew my basket weaving degree wasn't going to make me 100k...
I feel good getting a worthless history degree on the governments dime.
@Bjorn - MD Yeah, who needs Chinese communism when you have liberals in charge here?
Higher education is such a racket outside of stem (and even then watch out)
@Asatru Artist - MD don't kid yourself. You're very entrepreneurial.
And skilled
There's no shortage of STEM, just a trick to make people go to school
Your CS degree is going to go toe to toe with indians with some online certs working for less
i wonder how far back social justice is going to take our STEM "students" and that whole area of study?
