I think we do a terrible job of promoting where people can go if they choose a career in the trades.
I also think a lot of places are not fostering innovation, or using the latest technology. Even when they do get an advanced piece of equipment, do they follow up and figure out how to maximize what it can do?
Even seemingly simple things to improve processes often die at the idea stage because not enough people in leadership positions have the wherewithal to implement them.
