What is this, exactly? I heard it used by a couple of whiny 12 year olds recently.
'OK gramps'.
Its a 'clapback' from millenials when they have to admit that you are right but they decide not to care what you have to say.

Not to further detail the thread, but I’m 35. Does that categorize me as a boomer, or a millennial?
But back on topic: A certified welder with a strong work ethic, and certs or worthwhile proven experience in multiple disciplines and exotic metals can find a great paying job anywhere.

Hopefully they won't be "triggered", and sue me for hurting their feelings, for assuming their gender, or whatever ******** they're crying about during their latest menstrual cycle.
you can still make a good living without a degree.
I’ll echo that statement.
I’m trying to remember numbers, but I believe every technician in my employ in AZ, NV, OR, & WA was exceeding $100k gross within four years of entering the business. Some of the go-getters broke into the six figures in three years at just 22-25 years old with no degree. On top of the income, I provided their phone, boots, uniforms, and a free vehicle. Plus the normal stuff like health, dental, vision, 401k matching, vacation, sick days, paid wellness days, HSA contributions, etc.
Even with those perks and benefits, finding the right people is a struggle. We will be hiring 50 technicians in 2020 to support growth and expect to need another 20-25 to replace promotions, competitive poaching, terminations, and the like.
The blue collar pool seems to be shrinking while the demand is increasing. It’s a great time to be coming out of high school, votech, or a technical degree school. A positive attitude, a willingness to work hard, and the ability to troubleshoot independently can make for a very rewarding and lucrative career. No degree needed.
Glad to hear that MDS was able to help you find an hire.
The trades in general are struggling to find field workers. In 8yrs approximately 40% will be retiring or close to it. That is a lot of replacements needed and I struggle to see this happening.
Really tho, "customers" of all ages get upset in corporate retail but the "boomers" seem to be high achievers
