So why the flying fukk did you push for Trades? That's your whole posting style, sitting on higher education for trades.
Unions =/= Every Skilled trade job
Private companies and corporations exist that will hire you and give you training. But the DEI prejudice has existed for years with Unions. Reading is fundamental

Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su weathered more than three hours of questioning on Wednesday by members of the House Education and the Workforce Committee. (Screenshot from streamed event)
May 1, 2024
Republicans took aim at the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) proposed regulations for registered apprenticeships during a House hearing on Wednesday, reiterating criticism that they would restrict states’ authority over the programs.
During a contentious three-and-a-half-hour hearing intended to focus on DOL’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2025, GOP members of the House Education and the Workforce Committee peppered Acting Secretary Julie Su with questions on a range of issues, especially new regulations. Among them was DOL’s proposed regulations to revamp registered apprenticeship program.

Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson (R-Pennsylvania), who co-chairs the bipartisan Congressional Career and Technical Education (CTE) Caucus, expressed concern about the regulations regarding CTE programs and apprenticeships
@ 1hr 27min
Rep. Jim Banks (R-Illinois) took issue with the proposed regulations, including language regarding diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), saying they would force DEI efforts onto apprenticeships.
Democrats fired back against Republicans’ criticism. Rep. Donald Norcross (D-New Jersey) noted that companies can create their own apprenticeship programs. They only need DOL approval to tap federal apprenticeship funds. He also noted the value of having national industry standards in apprenticeships, which ensure workers have the same skills no matter where they work. As an example, he cited utility workers who often travel to other states for emergency assistance when storms knock out power.
“These sector-based strategies are really important for prospective workers to enter and succeed in the workforce,” Bonamici said.
Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Georgia) observed that all quality jobs in the U.S. require some postsecondary education or credential, including associate degrees and apprenticeships. But despite most Americans not having a degree, the federal government spends a fraction on workforce development programs compared to what is spent on traditional four-year higher education.
“Shouldn’t we be meeting our students where they are and provide support for these necessary training programs?” she asked.

Back to the budget
Democrats on the committee also highlighted workforce development programs that use sector-based approaches to fill in-demand jobs. For example, Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Connecticut) cited Su’s recent visit to Connecticut State Community College Three Rivers to see its nursing program, while Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Oregon) noted the acting secretary’s trip to Portland Community College in Oregon to see its mechatronics lab.“These sector-based strategies are really important for prospective workers to enter and succeed in the workforce,” Bonamici said.

The DEI program seems to have been trying to upend that tho. Thankfully its getting canned, that bullshyt was going to EVVVVVERYBODY anyway. Now they can make a program SPECIFICALLY for some stupid ass acronym I just made up. Anti-DEI groups and Non Black Americans will support it 100%

Trades are a great way to make a living, just learn to keep up your health
I'm not knocking on blue collar trades workers, it's the sheer hype that misled people that needs to be corrected.

You're trying to hard to dap fish. You had no idea and completely clueless to discern between a Union and Non-Union job, so it shows your knowledge on the subject. You can make just as much money and even more with a Non-Union job
Next time ask to learn something instead of assuming

yea, maybe it's regional because I did see some union involved with the longshoremen strike that appeared all black
but generally in my area it's heavy nepotism and racism keeping brehs out of the skilled trades/unions
so bad that the Sixers had to put certain language into the proposal for their new arena to guarantee a certain % of black union workers would get an opportunity. otherwise that shyt surely would be 100% white and hispanic
majority black city and almost no black people are on the work sites for all this new development around the city, make it make sense

Time to start thinking outside of america with that mindset of relying on each other. Black people are too obsessed with trying to make this abusive relationship with the European work. Notice I only said "thinking",but this will still trigger some. Of course not everyone will leave,but thinking outside of america will open up more opportunities. Not that im endorsing taking the Europeans cancerous capitalistic ideals to another land. But more of us need to get in that headspace for the sole purpose of maintaining our sanity and peace. Do people really wanna spend the next 50 years talking about what we need to do to get ahead in white supremacy. As if we dont know what white supremacy is? Open up your minds,then you can make educated decisions
Black folk across the globe, and yes Africa too. Need to fundamentally understand that every country we live in was not created by us or for our betterment.
