I have a hard time believing any trade will accept anyone off the street with no prior experience and pay them 6-figures. It's nice advice if someone has the time and energy to devote to a career, but if we're talking about a person with a family and mouths to feed they can get jobs that pay the same entry level wage the trade would give with a better work/life balance.

That said, Do you have a website and link to the open 6-figure entry level paying door?

I found this job:

https://www.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=59b9e13b18ca175d&from=serp

Which sounds like a lot of frilly language to say we'll take advantage of you and that it's not the type of job for a person needing to support a family.

And doing some research into the company seems to prove this point:

Pay does sound good... but not many people want to be away from their families to support them. Family support also comes from being around, not just money.

RJ Forman is not a railroad. It is a railroad service company. They do shit like re rail cars, and remove debris from the tracks and stuff. They don't get paid like actual railroad employees, and they don't work the grueling schedules either.
