The article is basically a rah-rah piece for working in the trades (electrician, general laborer, etc.). It complains that the author’s fellow millennials went for college education and white collar jobs rather than blue collar, and now the workers are disproportionally old on average.
The author is in construction management, so I take their comments with a grain of salt. Some people in the trades do well for themselves, but my understanding is that it’s also very hard on your body. It may be needed, but I’ll be encouraging my kids to pursue white-collar STEM jobs nonetheless.
