to wit: if it were possible I would put $100k (and I'm Poor so this is a real chunk of change to me) on the line that literally nobody, not a single soul, in this thread will have a kid who actually goes into the trades. even if the parent is totally encouraging there's also societal pressure/influence that naturally pushes kids away from it and they all internalize this |

Date: February 11th, 2026 6:01 PM Author: navy corner associate I got so sick of the "just do trades" people. There is a very good reason that nobody does this, and it has nothing to do with "societal pressure." It's because these jobs are SPS. Yes, once you have a decade or two of experience, you can make a shit ton of money as an electrician or auto mechanic, especially if you are entrepreneurial. But you aren't making the good money until you know what you are doing, and that takes a very long time. In the mean time, you are making around minimum wage crawling around in crawl spaces in extreme heat/cold on nights, weekends, and holidays. If anyone could earn a six figure salary as a mechanic with a six month auto repair course at the community college, don't you think fucking everyone would be doing that?

It take a couple years, not >10+, to get good at your job and crawling around attics and shit is fine when 18-24. Take a 6 month business course, and by 25, youve got your own local business with 1-3 employees and on your way to early retirement and a brand new sail boat (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833616&forum_id=2Reputation#49665315) |
|
Date: February 13th, 2026 12:44 AM Author: navy corner associate It has nothing to do with prestige. Yeah, just save up enough at your minimum wage job to start a business at age 25. And that ignores the fact that most blue collar trade people still don't know shit at age 25.
There was an article about auto mechanics in the WSJ a few months back. A skilled mechanic with a decade or two of experience who knows how to replace a transmission without reading the manual can absolutely print money. But it is a long, hard slog to get to that point. Mechanics typically get paid by the job, so when it takes you all day to replace a transmission because you have to check the manual after every step, you are earning shit. Plus you usually have to supply your own tools. Most mechanics wash out long before they get to the point where they can earn serious money.
Likewise for most other skilled trades. If you don't believe me, go search for "plumber" or "electrician" on Indeed. Most jobs barely pay more than fast food jobs. If anyone can earn six figures with a couple years of experience as an electrician, fucking everyone would be doing that. |

no different than how you'll still need lawyers and bankers for m&a, that's not going away
hell, you'll still need lawyers for your divorce
you'll still want an accountant to do your business taxes
can you explain how medicine is materially different than these other industries? in fact, medicine, unlike those industries has been gutted by private equity and ever lower insurance payouts for treatments, that's only going to get worse no?

Date: February 11th, 2026 2:52 PM Author: Concupiscible Abode as in the practice of the profession getting worse? i would agree that’s happened across the board but it’s certainly arguable that the decline has been steeper in medicine.
as in the customer experience getting worse? i don’t think that’s the case in law, banking, accounting, consulting, etc.
as in the industry being substantially restructured due to the licensure of a paraprofessional class of service providers? that is unique to medicine. |

Ie the market demand will increasingly put a premium on talents that make it legible and reasonably obvious for most viewers that a work was made by real humans as opposed to AI. Eventually companies (maybe/likely completely different ones than our 100+ year old set of media oligarchs) will figure out how to monetize and productize those talents. Ie there will be a large market for media products that comfort humans with the idea that some aspects of the human experience are unreachable by the computers.

Date: February 11th, 2026 5:20 PM Author: provocative chartreuse party of the first part meetinghouse Marcus (real name Zdeněk) was a marketing strategist at a retail company. When AI tools emerged, he didn’t try to write better marketing copy than the AI. He started running 50 campaign variations simultaneously. Something that would’ve required a team of 12 people before.
He’d use agents to generate the variations, test them, analyze results, and iterate. His job was to design the testing framework, analyze the patterns the agents uncovered, and make strategic decisions based on data no human could manually process.
Within six months, his campaigns were outperforming competitors by 40%. Not because he was better at any single task. Because he could operate at a scale that was previously impossible.
This is a pattern that works. Find the constraint in your domain that exists because of human limitations. What doesn’t get done because it takes too long? What questions don’t get asked because analysis is too expensive? What experiments don’t get run because you’d need a team of 20?
Then use agents to remove that constraint, not to speed up your current tasks. To do things that were previously impossible.
Then build expertise in the judgment layer. What experiments should we run? Which patterns matter? What do these results mean for strategy? When should we override the agent’s recommendation?
This isn’t vague strategic thinking. It’s specific, you’re the decision maker orchestrating a capability that didn’t exist before.
You’re not competing with the agent. You’re creating a new capability that requires both you and the agent. You’re not defensible because you’re better at the task. You’re defensible because you’ve built something that only exists with you orchestrating it.
This requires letting go of your identity as “the person who does X.” Marcus doesn’t write copy anymore. That bothered him at first. He liked writing. But he likes being valuable more.
Here’s what you can do this month:
Week one: Identify one thing in your job that you’d do 10x more if it didn’t take so long. Customer research? Competitive analysis? Testing variations? Data modeling?
Week two: Use AI agents to do that thing at 10x volume, even if quality drops to 70%. See what becomes possible.
Week three: Find the patterns. What insights emerge at scale that you’d never see doing it manually? What new questions can you answer?
Week four: Pitch this as a new capability to your boss. Not “I’m more efficient now.” But “We can now do this specific thing we couldn’t do before, which creates this specific business value.”
People who do this aren’t getting squeezed. They’re getting promoted or poached. Because they’ve made themselves the linchpin of a new capability, not the executor of an old task.
One critical caveat, this won’t work forever in its current form. Eventually, agents will get better at orchestration too. But it buys you three to five years. And in that time, you’ll see the next evolution coming.
The meta-skill is this: learning to spot what becomes possible when a constraint disappears, then building your value around that new possibility.
