Bay Area teens are trading in office cubicles for tool belts—and many are earning six figures before 21. With AI making entry-level white-collar jobs less secure, more young people are jumping into skilled trades like pipefitting, welding, and electrical work. These apprenticeships offer high pay, job security, and union benefits, all without the crushing debt of a four-year degree. Even college grads are switching paths, drawn by the stability and hands-on work. While automation is creeping into the trades, most experts say these jobs are much harder for AI to replace. What do you think—are the trades the new ticket to a secure future? #JobCareer #Career #BayArea
