With a large group including me excited about our profession, what do you see as the biggest downfall for our future in the trade?
For me... besides the obvious big box industry, we see a lack of youth here in FL. Our state has seen sharp declines in the educational end of our trade over the past ten years. During the New Const/ housing boom young men were being trained on one aspect of residential like trim and cut loose in trucks and called plumbers from then on.
Is this happening in your areas also?
This could end up being good for our pocket books today but I feel the industry as a whole will suffer down the road.
