But that doesn't mean you have to turn your backon a great salary, exciting work, and a profession that commands respect.Joe Lamacchia is proof. After graduating high school, he said no to college-and foundpersonal and professional success as the owner of a thriving landscaping company. He also started BlueCollarandProudofIt.com, a resource for people who want to find work in the skilled trades. Blue-collar workers build and maintain our bridges, keep our cars running, fix our plumbing, and provide vital services to every home. That's why Lamacchiacalls these 'necessary jobs.' Most blue-collar work simply cannot be outsourced to foreigncountries and it's often recession-proof. As Baby Boomers retire, blue-collar industriesare experiencing workforce shortages because there aren't enough well-trainedpeople to fill all of these jobs. That is, until now . . . Blue Collar and Proud of It gives you the information you need to pursue a stable, enjoyable, well-paying job-one that makes a difference every day in your community.Whether you're just out of high school, have been a victim of downsizing, or are looking for a new direction, Lamacchia explains all the options, outlines the necessary training, and delivers true stories of people who have made their own way in the blue-collar world. Discover a wealth of opportunities, including: – carpentry – machinery – roofing – electricians – truck drivers – green construction- Broadband technicians – welding – ironworkers – solar panel installation- water conservation
