Here are some articles discussing the average pay and pay potential for different trades:

https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/highest-paying-trade-jobs

https://explorethetrades.org/benefits-of-choosing-a-career-in-the-trades/earning-potential/skilled-trade-pay-scales/

In addition, you can always look up trades (such as those listed here: https://work.chron.com/list-trade-careers-7833.html) in the Bureau of Labor Statistics website (here: https://www.bls.gov/). This will give you the national average, anticipated growth, and other useful information about each possible trade.

Hope this helps -- best of luck!

During the process of discharging from the military, you should attend a TGPS course which assists in setting up a resume and preparing for transitioning to civilian workforce. During this a lot of valuable information and resources will be provided for your use. These websites for comparing job salaries and jobs according to location were provided to me to help find the best career path and location after transitioning out of the military:
www.salary.com
www.salaryexpert.com

More specifically, trades are always needed and are a good choice for work if you are willing to put in the hours. The pay will most likely vary based on where your are located and how many hours/jobs are completed per work week.
