I am thinking of going to a vocational school to learn a trade. What is a good trade to learn?
(i.e. not ridiculous but decent pay; no terrible health risks; job stability/little risk of job becoming outmoded, shipped out, automized, not having enough work during economic busts.)
(I'm not the strongest person, but am willing to work hard and a decently smart fellow.)

All trades are at risk durings busts
All trades are hard/dangerous in one way or the other
That said, plumbing is pretty solid even during busts, not too hard per se, but you will fuck your knees in the long run
Electrician is a bit more at risk from busts, but more varied and also a bit more dangerous (falls from height plus zapping)
Proces operator is a fine line because a good operator won't be fired first during busts, but it's afield where companies regularily fire 1/4 of their workforce in hard times.
Plus side is that it is hard to automate factories more than they are, operators are mostly screen-controllers.
Also, factories can be pretty comfy and sterile all the way to a boneflour factory with animal carcasses and maggots crawling on the floor

Depends on your personal interests and what you're good at, I've been doing arborist work for the past few years. With the qualifications I have I could easily get a another job, even if it's not tree work.
My brother's an electrician and gets paid pretty good money for it, electricians are needed all over the country and in all sorts if industries.

Bullshit, it's not difficult for someone with a trade to get a job anywhere in the country.
