      Want to hear an insane stat? Between 2013 and 2015 more University of Phoenix students defaulted on their student loans than graduated

      So many feel a degree is the only way to success in life - and I can't fill auto mechanic positions that pay $80k to start....

      Well... could you pay more to fill them?

      No. Industry analysts say there is a "technician" shortage for the foreseeable future.

      Maybe more people would become technicians if it paid 130k a year. I'd definitely be considering it if I were starting my career.

      We'd get more at $500k/year... my point is that our society views a lawyer/public defender (for instance) making $40k as a "success", and looks down upon trade professions no matter what their compensation is.

      That's a shame. But it still seems like there's a free market for labor and if there's a "shortage" it's because qualified people are choosing something else instead. Firefighting, perhaps. Or plumber. Who knows.

      Technically that’s true of any shortage ever

          To elaborate, markets change. There's a "shortage" of $5000 ferraris too. Absent an external manipulation like licensing reqs, it'll sort itself out.

          To elaborate even further - maybe this person just can't afford who they want to hire.
