Guess what career path kids want to pursue now? I keep hearing about this return to the blue-collar trades (and the need to buy good work boots). But I wonder how widespread the shift actually is…
My daughter accepted a FT sales development representative (entry level) role following an internship at a major enterprise software provider that has been an early adopter of AI. But she never understood what she was selling and was convinced the buyers didn't understand it either. She wanted something she could see, touch, and understand. So she worked to find something else.
She'll be starting as an associate project manager at a commercial window and facade construction company in a few weeks. Hard hat and steel toed boots are part of the required equipment. Dad here had nothing to do with it, lol. The kids know.

That's cool! Yes, they saw this coming. There is satisfaction in creating physical things.
