Thinking About Going to Trade School? You’re In Luck. There Could Be Jobs Galore When You Graduate!

April 18, 2024

Make no bones about it, there’s a critical need for skilled workers in our economy. So, if you’re considering going to trade school, now’s the time to enroll.

Why? Because there could be some great jobs available to you once you graduate.

And when you graduate, finding a job in your trade may not take very long. In fact, because of the critical shortage of hands-on workers, you could potentially line up for a job while you’re still in school. Yep, tradespeople are needed that much!

School Match Pro is one of the nation’s leaders in helping people like you connect with trade schools that fit your needs and goals. After we show you some awesome facts about the demand and salaries for skilled trades, we’ll show you how we can get you connected to a trade school…

So you have the skills to pay the bills!

First, check out some of these recent headlines:

TheHill.com says, “Labor crisis: Why is there a shortage of plumbers and electricians?”[1]

Fox Business says, “Blue is the new white? Labor market’s sudden shift towards skilled trade workers is a win for blue-collar jobs.”[2]

CNBC says, “Wages are up as high as 24% in these in-demand jobs, and bosses are on a hiring spree.”[3]

Now, some of those jobs (and wage increases) highlighted in the CNBC article?

Hairstylists with 22% wage growth.

Master plumbers with 21% wage growth.

Autobody repair with 21% wage growth.

AV technician, with 20% wage growth.

Roofer, with 19% wage growth.

But that’s not all.

Because our economy is in desperate need of people who know how to work with their hands, salaries for many trades have been on the rise.

Now, get this…

The Washington Post said, “It’s harder than ever to get tradesmen to commit to a job because there is so much work out there and they can afford to pick and choose.”[4]

Pick and choose!

So, with the potential for rising salaries and the possibility for you to choose when and where to work, enrolling in trade school could lead you to a very successful career.

A career that puts you in control of your own life!

But rising salaries and flexibility are just two good reasons to consider going to trade school.

Another good reason?

The cost.

Compared to earning a bachelor’s degree, trade school is far more affordable, and you don’t have to spend four-years of your life living in a cramped dorm.

In fact, a bachelor’s degree could cost you over $100k…[5]

But going to trade school costs a fraction of that, and depending on the trade you choose, you could graduate in a quarter of the time.

That means you can start earning a good paycheck relatively quickly.

So, what trades are needed and how do you find a trade school that suits you? Have a look below.
