Gen Z Are Ditching Degrees for the Trades (Special Podcast Highlight)
Gen Z: The Next Tool Belt Generation Timmerie investigates the fascinating trend of Gen Z (ages 14-27) ditching traditional degrees for trade schools! Inspired by Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" fame, she explores why young people, especially men, are flocking to trades like welding, electricity, and construction.
Key Highlights:
Trade School Surge! Enrollment in trade schools is up by 16%, and there's a 23% increase in students diving into construction jobs post-high school. This shift is a clear reaction to the skyrocketing student debt and uncertain job prospects for degree holders.
AI ImpactMike Rowe says that while AI threatens white-collar jobs, blue-collar roles like electricians and pipe fitters are booming!
Debt-Free Ambition Gen Z is sidestepping massive student loans, opting instead for certifications and hands-on skills. Timmerie notes many millennials regret not taking this route, burdened by student debt that's often more than a mortgage.
Revaluing Work Ethic Timmerie emphasizes shifting from chasing prestige to valuing hard work and provision. Inspired by St. Thomas Aquinas, it’s about cultivating a solid work ethic and enjoying the fruits of labor now.
Catholic Trade Schools Excitingly, Catholic trade schools are sprouting nationwide, combining skill training with spiritual formation! Examples include College of St. Joseph the Worker in Ohio and Santiago Trade School in California. These institutions are not only teaching trades but also instilling theological values.
Empowering Men Timmerie touches on how trades are turning boys into men, equipping them with life skills like changing a light bulb, fixing a doorknob, or checking car tires. It’s a pushback against the "anti-male" education bias in universities.
Practical Advantages Blue-collar jobs often pay more and offer quicker paths to financial stability than many white-collar roles. They're also seen as more fulfilling, with workers gaining confidence and potentially moving into self-employment.
The St. Joseph Reminder Celebrating St. Joseph the Worker on May 1st, Timmerie reflects on restoring the dignity of labor, mentioning that meaningful work isn’t limited to corporate offices but thrives in hands-on trades.
Takeaway:
Encourage the next generation to explore trades! Not only do these careers offer financial stability without the heavy debt load, but they also provide fulfilling, hands-on work that contributes significantly to society.

I love listening to your podcast and I follow you on X , I would love to hear you talk more about being catholic and other topics besides abortion all the time , I do understand the need to talk about abortion but I do think it’s a little much , thanks for you good work 😊
Meh at best…
I wish I could unlisten to this podcast for it has left me dumber from having heard it.
In general the podcast is Journalistically lacking the nuance and context required of a decent conversation.
A must listen for Men and Women
I am a 49 year old man with two daughters and I learn so much from Timmerie. Excellent relationship advice, dating, and even periods. I shared the March 3, 2023 episode Female Hacks with both of my daughters. All dads should listen to that episode. Thank you Timmerie and may God bless you and your family!
