Ironically, the shift is being driven by too many people going to college. That flood of degrees has created a growing imbalance: too many graduates, and not enough workers trained for essential skilled careers that don’t require a four-year degree. As a result, companies are boosting salaries for roles that require hands-on training instead of academic credentials. These include traditional trades like plumbing and electrical work, as well as specialized professions like lift mechanics and commercial pilots.
