Blue-Collar Revival: Why Gen Z Is Redefining Skilled Labor & Trade Careers
🎙️ Episode Title: Blue-Collar Revival: Why Gen Z Is Redefining Skilled Labor & Trade Careers
Episode Description:
For decades, the narrative was clear: success meant going to college, landing a white-collar job, and climbing the corporate ladder. But Gen Z is rewriting that story. Faced with crushing student debt, rising living costs, and the uncertainty of automation, more young professionals are embracing skilled trades and vocational entrepreneurship as smart, respected, and financially rewarding career paths.
In this episode of The Career Volt Podcast, host Jennifer Fellin dives into why Gen Z is fueling a blue-collar revival. From avoiding student loans through paid apprenticeships to discovering stability in high-demand fields like HVAC, welding, and electrical work, this generation is proving that working with your hands can also mean building your future. We’ll explore how technology is reshaping modern trade careers, the challenges of overcoming stigma, and why blue-collar work is becoming a path to both independence and influence.
If you’ve ever questioned the “college or bust” narrative, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the evolving definition of success in today’s workforce.
