The world of trades is vast and offers a multitude of opportunities for a thriving career! Remember, market trends fluctuate, so a "Top 10" list may vary over time. However, it's worth noting that the most lucrative trades often necessitate some form of education, be it at a trade school or through a certification program. It's also beneficial to familiarize yourself with the various unions linked to different trades, as they can sometimes be essential for specific careers. Currently, trades such as construction and healthcare are in high demand, along with maintenance jobs that offer robust apprenticeship programs like HVAC and elevators. So, dive in and explore the possibilities!

Hi Alania, The above suggestions are fantastic but you can also think about the automotive industry. My husband was a Service Advisor for many years and he made very good money. In any auto dealership the big downside is the long hours they have you work. Another option is high end automotive technician. There are schools you can attend for 12 or 18 months and when you graduate you can make close to 6 figures like BMW Technician or Master Automotive Technician. I would recommend reviewing various trade schools and see what courses they have that really interest you and go from there. Best of Luck!
Thank you for the advice! I had never really considered anything in the automotive industry, but now that you have brought it to light, it sounds like something that I would be very interested in!
