Struggling Gen Z and millennial grads should consider turning their back on their degrees and retraining to become hospitality and trade workers, Randstad’s CEO warns.
That’s hilarious. Plumbers don’t even do clogged drains anymore in the US. You know who can afford the six figure Contender center consoles with mega horsepower? Landscapers.
Only way I can get a plumber or electrician in my town to anything besides new construction / fresh install is to ask my friend who runs a 60 home caretaking / property management company for a recommendation.
For plumbers they usually threaten to walk, unless you agree to let them just do a replacement for a new fixture (one was a 5 year old hot water tank…)
The only difference is if I get their number through my friend, I get to tell them, "if you walk, ill tell < friend’s property management company> and they’ll lose your number, and tell all their buisness contacts to do the same.
As someone working a trade, I hate to have to twist their arm, but its litterally the only way to get work done.

Yes! The good ones can pick and choose
