best trade to get in to for the youth of today?

[sparkyezz]

like to see some honest opinions from sparks on which trade they think is going well at the moment (not many surely), but which they think is the most worth-while trade for youths of today? which trade they think will be going strong in the near future and be lots of demand for?
my mind is set on being an electrician (got a few quals) but i would still like to know what you guys think as you are in the know how, you see who are in work who are not etc...
cheers

I'm in the same boat as my oldest is nearly 17 n has no idea what he wants to do.he has been out wi me since he was about 8 now n agin nd I can clearly see he has ability in what I do, but no interest at all!
i told him to do something like mechatronics n get in the subsea game like his uncle so we will await n see if the penny drops.dont fancy the chances of any young uns getting any kind of job this summer tho.the condems ain't exactly covering themselves in glory on this(or any other front IMO)

People don't seem to mind paying for finishing trades such as tiling, wallpapering, joinery etc. and I can't imagine the 'regs' change too often - once you can wallpaper a room that's pretty much it. Carpet fitting can be hard on the knees, and painting is something people will have a go at themselves, so I'd probably stay away from those.

Apparently nail bars are really popular nowadays - spend all day painting finger nails.
