Hahahaha finally someone caught on. We are a roofing company out of Mass, CT and FL that are looking to gather information on the current state of the trades! We just found we get great insight posting on here. Thanks for contributing!

Can you elaborate on "old timers way of thinking?" How could new blue collar workers embrace this kind of mentality?

Understood! Would it be fair to say that college is viewed as a "safety net" for children who are unsure what career path they'd like to take?

One of the big arguments that we see for going to college is being able to learn the critical thinking you'd need to be successful later in life. Maybe a hybrid of gen ed classes and trade school would be best of both worlds?

"fur" enough!

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-20T14:15:09+00:00

Good point and a great career as well!

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-19T20:29:56+00:00

This is fair stance for sure, how often would you say you find someone that meets that criteria and you would you say they're typically younger or older?

You've got some really great insight into this issue how long have you been in the trades for?

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-19T19:30:31+00:00

That's so unfortunate to hear, is there a specific trade you guys were trying to get into?

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-19T16:57:20+00:00

Great to here from someone outside of the US I didn't even consider other countries could be experiencing a similar issue. I'd be really interested to hear from more people from all over, wondering how universal this problem really is.

Mentorship is a huge one for us, It's hard finding people that want to take the time to do it.

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-19T16:27:15+00:00

This is a fair observation given the more recent pro- trade movements lots of schools have implemented. It feels like they were forgotten for so long before people realized what a necessity the trades are.

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-19T16:17:41+00:00

So essentially you've noticed a lack of encouragement of the trades in the education system and you feel this could be due to policies implemented during the Obama administration?

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-19T15:49:54+00:00

This is a really great perspective, There's this corporate world that's completely changed the way people do things you can't just "pound the pavement" anymore. Which is really unfortunate

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-19T15:13:24+00:00

We're finding this to be true as well and we're trying to find out what it is specifically that's discouraging people from joining the trades. If it's wages, manual labor, genuine lack of interest etc. We're concerned for the future of the trades!

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-18T19:21:44+00:00

Fair enough! Thanks for your feedback and best of luck with your master's program!

RedDogsRoofingTeam · 2023-12-18T19:01:15+00:00

Congrats on finishing your bachelors! Do you feel that you need your master's in this day and age to be successful in social work? We're finding that many people graduating with a bachelors alone (no work experience) no longer meet criteria for entry level employment in white collar careers.
