Trade schools are fine, but the skills you learn can become obsolete with technology and robots. Also, you can only do physical labor for a certain period of time before you burn out or become too old to do the job. Plumbers and electricians can only make as much money as electrical and mechanical engineers if they own their own business, in which case, they are business people, not plumbers and electricians.
