ALBANY, Ga., March 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Every year, the gap between the number of skilled trade job openings and the number of people with adequate training to fill those positions gets steeper. This has been a trend for decades now; ever since society started to prioritize higher education. This was an important move and it did help a lot of people get to college who may not have; however, it caused many schools to stop offering vocational training. It also created an unnecessary stigma around skilled labor jobs. Thankfully, that opinion seems to be shifting and balancing back out as people learn that trade programs have a lot to offer. In fact, some of the highest paying careers are trade school jobs. They offer shorter schooling, great return on investment, and even great pay. OnlineCollegePlan recently published an article that features the Top 30 Highest Paying Trade School Jobs and Vocational School Careers. You can read it here:
