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.

One of my neighbors kid went to trade school for HVAC at 18. His parents were embarrassed because everyone around us, college is the only option promoted. He spent $6k and started at $65k while his friends were still in school. At 25 he got his contractor license. At 27 he

🦔 The electrician shortage is becoming a "life-or-death" problem for AI data center construction, according to the IBEW. More than 300,000 new electricians are needed over the next decade to meet AI-driven demand, while 200,000 are expected to retire. Electrical work accounts for 45-70% of total data center construction costs. Microsoft says it's the number one problem slowing their expansion. Oracle pushed completion dates from 2027 to 2028 partly due to labor shortages. Meanwhile, Gen Z is flooding into electrical apprenticeships. Applications for commercial electrical programs jumped 70% between 2022 and 2024. One training institute saw enrollment surge 400% in four years. Starting apprentices near DC make $26/hour and journeymen earn over $120,000 plus benefits, with overtime pushing some to $200,000. My Take Oh the irony. The same companies remaking white-collar careers with AI are discovering their growth depends on the generation feeling the most economic whiplash from it. Entry-level white-collar job postings have dropped by a third since 2022. More than half of 2023 college graduates are working jobs that don't require a degree. And now those same young people are being recruited to build the infrastructure that's disrupting their original career paths. I'm genuinely torn on this one. The opportunities are real and the money is good. But if the AI bubble pops or even just cools off, a lot of these data center projects get paused or cancelled. That's how construction works. You've got hundreds of thousands of people retraining for a boom that assumes hyperscaler capex keeps growing for a decade. The skills transfer to other work, but probably not at $200k. I hope it works out for people making this bet. I just wouldn't build a 30-year career plan around tech companies' current spending projections. Hedgie🤗

@JamieDimon0 just said the quiet part loud: AI layoffs are coming, and we're not ready. At @ForgeNow_ , we're not waiting on the government to catch up. We're already building the reskilling infrastructure Dimon is calling for — training workers for the roles AI can't replace and the ones it's actively creating. The window to prepare is open. We help people climb through it. → forgenow.edu #FutureOfWork #AIReskilling #WorkforceTraining

Yes. And AI is accelerating this crisis. We're automating white-collar work while the skilled trades that can't be automated—electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs—are hemorrhaging workers. The gap Mike's describing isn't just widening, it's becoming a chasm.

If AI disrupts entry-level professional jobs in the next 5 years, expect renewed demand for skilled trades careers. These are high-skill, high-demand, technology-enabled jobs that can’t be automated away.
