But in the aftermath, like immediately, I saw that corporations screwed their employees. Instead of workers in other countries getting lifted, U.S. corp. exported good-paying jobs, and then used that move as a cudgel to force any remaining employees or new hires to take lower wages. Benefits, ha.
Since the 1990s. I've been telling younger people to consider training in jobs that can't be exported, such as plumbing, pipefitting, automotive, HVAC, hairstyling, nursing and so on. I'm a jack of all trades myself, and proud that I can bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan 
As handy as many of us are, many of us seniors are looking for help with jobs in daily life. I had a plumber in to repair, replace things in the house. I have horrible allergies, so I have a lawn service. I was so grateful they came by over the weekend and did the first mowing. From my point of view, getting trade jobs is a win-win for all of us.
