There IS a serious need for skilled tradesmen in the US, and those jobs DO pay. Even the "learning" wage is better than most dead-end type of jobs, though the work usually doesn't allow for much smart phone leisure time..The problem is, there's also a lot of jobs in need of people, but they've been locked at a low wage. My brother was a paramedic that got paid about $16 an hour. He was an EMT before, making about $11. There are more examples in the healthcare field, which is crazy when you think about paying g thousands for a medical visit, but the people working there may be making less than $20 an hour.
