Am I Too Old To Go To Trade School?

December 14, 2023

If you’re considering going to trade school, you probably already know that the skilled trades are in high demand right now. In fact, almost every skilled trade you can think of is in demand… and some skilled trades can pay you just as good (or better) as some jobs that people go to traditional four-year college for.[1]

You see, skilled workers are desperately needed, and the pay is rising!

Pennsylvania’s Times Leader newspaper recently said, “(the) nation (has) been experiencing a substantial surge in new manufacturing and in demand for workers to fuel the growth.

“Wages have risen with demand, backlogs have developed in construction and other trades, and it has very much become an employee market. If you’ve got the skills, you can get a well-paying job.

“You get to build a career, and family if you want, sometimes very literally with your hands. And you get to see directly the fruits of your labor, the success of your adaptability, and the legacy you physically leave behind.”[2]

Now, if you want a job in the skilled trades and already know about all the benefits of getting one (as highlighted above) you may still be asking yourself, “am I too old to go to trade school?”
