With my college degree basically doing nothing for me at this point, I have been thinking about going back to school and pursuing a trade. I was wondering what are some trades that you recommend?

I’d go for car mechanic. No idea if specializing in trucks or farming stuff would be more lucrative, though the latter is not viable if you don’t live near farms anyway.
My son is a mechanic and he likes it. Doesn’t make a million dollars, but he gets by ok. There’s a lot of turnover in the industry - shops get sold to corporate chains and then they screw everyone over. There are plenty of jobs available, so when that happens he’s usually able to find something else within a few days. He started by getting a state inspector license from a 2 day class. Everything that has been from books, videos, and on the job learning.
Be sure to watch costs. Lots of mechanics own everything to the “SnapOn man”.
