If i have two kids to support, how am i going to afford a) cost of relocating to LCOL b) cost of supporting family on lower wage c) while going through a multi year retraining program and d) paying for the training?
It's going to be rough for a lot of workers caught out in this structural labor market shift. I sympathize with them and there are no easy answers. People are just going to be forced to figure it out in order to survive.
I think most tradespeople live where they grew up which may not be LCOL but not high either. May need some certifications/formal training but is mostly an internship situation.
