There has been a trend in recent years. A trend fueled by a misunderstanding of the importance of the arts and trades along with an emphasis of needing a traditional college degree. An emphasis that the only way a young person would make it in the world would be through an office job that pays highly and only obtainable through a good ol’ fashion college degree.
The unfortunate negative reality to this is the arts and trades were looked upon as a lesser than workforce and field to go into. Jobs and skills that would make life difficult and hard. This has resulted in a staffing shortage across the nation. The YouTuber known as The Honest Carpenter shares a more detailed look into the shortage and the importance of the trades. House-Raising is providing the opportunity to help save the arts and trades with one youth at a time.
