    Was gonna say, I went to college to get a good job that I hate.
    If a manufacturer wants to pay me the same to sit on an assembly line I would give it real consideration.

    As always the “nobody wants to work” crowd conveniently neglect to tell us the wages

      You can make good money in skilled trades which would require some training. Could be weeks, months of training.

        You can make good money in skilled trades if you are in a union. Also the union trains you.

        You pay a lot for that training, and typically the trades guys at a factory only make about 10-20% more than the line workers. The only money to be made in trades is owning your own firm

        My friend just became a locksmith. It has opened a lot of doors for him.
