I'm surprised more people don't go into skilled trades even without factoring in AI. They have a nice apprentice program where they pay you to learn the skill -- a much better financial model than college.

I suppose medical school is sort of an apprentice program since they actually practice medicine. Law school is completely decoupled and should go back to being an apprentice program -- for the small subgroup of lawyers that survive the AI displacement. Trial lawyers will still be needed to physically show up and argue cases for a long time.

I’m a double EE dropout who became an electrician 25 years ago and I’ve never regretted it.
