I would say that kid should get back to school, get a GED if he has no chance to graduate, and hit up a trade school. Welders make DAMN good money, same with plumbers, electricians, and HVAC.
Too many people are trying to get jobs with computers, so trades are hurting for workers.
Plumbers can make well over 100 bucks an hour. Welders typically start between 15-30 an hour. Electricians can make 100+ an hour too when no longer a journeyman.
highschool drop out now contractor in NYC/westchester area lol. i think their best bet for work would be looking into new fields such as the cannabis industry and no im not saying grow weed or work in a headshop, but with the legalization taking more states with it the hemp industry can thrive. heres an idea, a bmx frame constructed of hemp fiber rather than carbon fiber a cheaper alternative boom. henry ford did it in the early 1900's experiments with hemp fiber. lighter than aluminium stronger than steel.
