I would recommend the trade of finishing highschool and hoping that the economy get s better. Most of your trade industries aren t doing real good because no-one wants to spend money on the unecesary improvements. Let s take tile setting for instance. Do you really need that new marble or granite floor? Probably not... Can you live without it, or perhaps for now go with some real cheap alternative that will hold up until you feel more comfortable spending the extra money to get that great floor? Probably.Honestly, if you want to get into a trade though... look for a family friend that owns some kind of business that is willing to hire you on to do grunt work... pay attention and pickup everything you can and then see if that is something you can see you self doing... Maybe you know a landscaper or carpenter or roofer... something along those lines... Best of luck to you sir.
A trade is a specialized career usually that is hands on.For example: carpenter, mechanic, electrician, plumber, construction worker and so forth.Don t be too concerned about money or glamor though. Getting into a trade industry can pay off in the long run. Most of those industries pay extremely well after you put some time into and as you become more skilled. It won t happen overnight though. To give you a personal example, my brother is in the trade industry as a heating and air conditioning technician. When he started he didn t make much money but as he became more skilled his hourly rate increased. After 10 years in the industry he now makes over $25.00 per hour.If you are interested in the games industry then take a look into it. There are many opportunities for designers, programmers and such. Talk to your counselor or visit a couple of game company websites to learn more about the industry.When it comes to picking an industry don t feel that you have to choose 1 and stick with it. Try getting a couple of part time jobs or talking to people in the industries to see if you like it. Take you time and think about what you like to do. A job is always easier if you enjoy what you do.
