Trade Work
All,
Trying not to get caught up in this whole mess with regards to the what if’s.
I am very low on the list and have to assume that if the company makes cuts I will be part of it.
With that, can anyone lend any credible insight into trade fields etc that I could try to join at an apprentice level that will get my family by?

Check out CNC Machinist.
They couldn’t find enough people to fill the positions that were available. Guys right out of the program were making $25 to $30/hour.
Some junior colleges offer certification in this trade or you could look for quick accelerated private programs (along the likes of “schools” you see advertising on local channels in the mornings)
Also, an apprentice electrician would be a good one. Also in high demand.
Caveat is all of this was before the covid19 outbreak; so, I don’t know how the demand in this field will be affected.
With that being said, I have a feeling some manufacturing may be coming back to the US because we as a country are finally realizing it is not in our best national interest to outsource tons of manufacturing.
That is why I suggest CNC machinist.
And if it comes to a furlough and if you live in So. Cal by any chance , PM me and I will reach out to friends that have CNC machine shops in the area to inquire about work.
