But that doesnt mean you have to turn your back\non a great salary, exciting work, and a profession that commands respect.\nJoe Lamacchia is proof. After graduating high school, he said no to college—and found\npersonal 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. Thats why Lamacchia\ncalls these necessary jobs. Most blue-collar work simply cannot be outsourced to foreign\ncountries and its often recession-proof. As Baby Boomers retire, blue-collar industries\nare experiencing workforce shortages because there arent enough well-trained\npeople to fill all of these jobs. That is, until now . . .\n\nBlue 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.\nWhether youre 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:\n\n• carpentry • machinery • roofing • electricians • truck drivers • green construction\n• Broadband technicians • welding • ironworkers • solar panel installation\n• water conservation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HCI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44426721951797,"sku":"ByrdShop_0757307787","price":60.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780757307782_87613a66-c465-4c38-a845-cf8619ba39d5.jpg?v=1778685595","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/blue-collar-proud-of-it-the-allinone-resource-for-finding-freedom-financial-success-and-security-outside-the-cubicle-9780757307782","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
