There's nothing wrong with the trades per-se, but I feel like people, particularly Gen-Z, shifting toward the trades because 'university degrees are useless' is a product of what Jeets and other assorted groups brought upon academia. That is, nothing except a path towards more money. They are useless if the majority of people doing them don't care about the subject.I now recall a trend from a few years ago of right-wing e-celebs encouraging young White men to ditch university because it is too "woke" and instead go into the trades where they would allegedly earn more money than university grads. I pity anyone who actually followed their advice.
Beyond that many members of my generation will put very little effort into high school and only get into a shitty college/university and therefore need to jump through hoops in order to improve their situation in that regard. If you're in high school, remember, you can improve your standing through nothing except effort.
