My answer to the general question is yes. Go into a trade. But I have a son-in-law who recently quit an apprenticeship because they were inflexible.

They wouldn't give him time off for any matters dealing with his first child. He had to attend classes or be penalized.

He is now making more, has better benefits and more schedule flexibility. Unions/guilds are choking themselves out of anything other than big crime style construction jobs.

Heck of an immune system to say younstep back a class if you want to take a week off four months from now. All they are doing are buying peons. That is why I hate unions. They exist only for the jackasses who run them and they take, rather than produce value. But if you like them, then fine.
