A lot of trade jobs are in high demand, you just have to be mobile.

Willing to move to where the job is.

You've got to have the skills as well. A lot more computer work and with some industries very complex processes. It's funny, we try to take the art out of machining but in the end if you aren't making chips the parts don't ship. It will always be a people job.

Personally, I think it's more your willing to go where the machines are.

I would very much like to be able to have a CNC mill/lathe in the basement and CAD the stuff.

NPR did a interesting show about an the local library allowing to do 3d printing and cad/cam stuff
