@TS_Secrets @NancyRPearcey Want to comment on how the unions or states ratio the open journeyman opportunities and how in many western states, the odds of getting an apprenticeship are lower than getting into a highly selective university?

My friend got laid off from his software engineering job in 2022.
42 years old. $195k salary gone overnight.
Meta, Google, and Amazon had just cut 200,000 jobs and the market was flooded with engineers.
He spent 14 months in an electrical apprenticeship. Last year he made $160k as a journeyman electrician specializing in data center builds.
2026 at 46 years old he make $270k with over time.
The same data centers his former employer runs. He told me he will never work for anyone who can lay him off with a Zoom call again.
Neither would I.
Day 97 tagging @mikeroweworks because I want to bring awareness to the trades.

Pastor Dietrich #Bonhoeffer was executed on this day in 1945.
His last act? To lead a worship service for his fellow prisoners.
His last words? “This is the end—for me, the beginning of life.”
He followed Jesus to the end, no matter the cost.
May the same be said of us.

@BradWilcoxIFS @NRO In my region of the PNW, there are few slots made available annually to protect the wages of current workers. It’s easier to get into an elite school than most apprenticeship trades.

"Greater support from public policy could ease this burden, but ultimately, the combined efforts of educators, politicians, and industry leaders will be necessary to reverse the skilled worker shortage. “It takes a village.'" ~ Guy Denton, @NRO nationalreview.com/news/where-hav…
English

"As the # of tradesmen retiring [increases], # of young people entering those occupations [fails] to keep pace. Today, for every 5 tradesmen who leave workforce, only 2 younger workers replace them."
Consequently: "nearly 1.4 million trade jobs will be unfilled by 2030." @NRO

@GeorgeSchroeder @dandarling You are not wrong. But on this issue, many find similar caps that were put into place in other area. The state either apprentices-ratios them or the unions cap them.

@jmyeats @dandarling To be fair -- and you know I love your state -- it's a crazy state.

College isn't for everyone, to be sure. But a good college education is more than mere credential for the place you get your paycheck. It's formation, it's curated learning from the best in their field, it's develping habits that stick with you for a lifetime. It's learning how to learn. It's a bridge from adolescence to adulthood.

@dandarling More fun? In my state, the apprenticeship programs are incentivized with $$$ to make a certain number of those limited slots only for those recently leaving prison. So the kid who did construction trades in High School doesn’t have a shot at getting anywhere.

My family and I just spent most of the day @museumofBible - and this is not an ad - it is one of the best museum experiences I’ve ever had. In particular: The walk through of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible is remarkable. It is truly world class - top to bottom. Was thinking of how fun it would be to do a @KnowingFaithPod live there!

@darrencasper Thank you!
The fight is REAL! We are out here standing firm in the PNW and seeing solid Gospel advance through @CorbanU

@claysmith79 I’d encourage a quick visit to the PNW for a mission trip. We have whole counties where Christians are less than 3%. We’re out here raising up a generation of committed Jesus followers making a difference!

Having Thor as my philosophy professor has been such a joy. Thor has a deep and expansive view of the value and goals of philosophy. He has helped shaped my view of what philosophy is and should be.
