Yeah, but how old are you? Even trades people need about 4 years of schooling or on the job apprenticing to earn their journeyman ticket. Alberta does offer a lot of lucrative labour jobs, that can evolve into management type of thing. But that is pretty unique to Alberta which still represents only about 10% of the country. Also a lot of people in labour jobs who don't move up do eventually start looking for something else even if it pays lower. For most people....working as a labourer for 40 years isn't that appealing.
