Trades are mostly a thing of the past. I live in an area that thrived on trades because of the rubber industry. Machine shops and small foundries were on every street. You could take a broken shaft, etc. to a machinist and have one made. Lots of other stuff. No More. All done by computer now. If its not CAD they don't know how to do it. The last real machinist in this area dies 2 years ago. Sad to say that has happened to other trades. No one is a scratch baker anymore. They use mixes from big companies and call that scratch baking. Most get the itmes frozen and then bake them in an oven of a fryer and say they are scratch. Shade tree mechanics are a thing of the paast. Nowadays you have to invest thousands in software to be able to repair an automobile. Then the mechannics are mostly replacement artists. Computer tells you what and how to do it. And so on and so forth. Building trades are about the only skilled labor today. Sad reflection on our lives as we knew it to be.
