Dealers lots are filling up
Dealers lots around Ohio/western PA are filling up with certain models. Not many heavy duty trucks but I'm seeing a few Chevy and GMC 2500's sit for weeks before being sold and a lot in the pipeline. ...

There is NOTHING wrong with installing windows! Just do not think you need a diploma from a HUGE/Expensive college ( Drexel ) or such to do said work....
way back 40 years ago my best friend in school went to college to become a Metallurgical engineer.. for the first 10-15 years after graduating he was making tags for clothes at some shop in Ohio.???
Me,, I had co-op in my senior year, left school at 10 am to go to work... skipped college, worked 2-3 jobs to keep thing straight and the beer supply flowing
My father was the first in his family to attend college, so the expectation was for me to go to college. After high school I went to college and a guy I knew became a plumber. 4 years later I ran into that guy and he was making more money than me as a plumber. 22 years later he's probably STILL making more money than me.
Thankfully my mom worked at the college and I got tuition remission. My wife went to community college for 2 years, then state college to get her Registered Nurse licensing. She is a full time mom now, not using that expensive degree.
Trades are a GREAT thing to have. Lots of unemployed Family Studies majors out there right now, but not too many unemployed plumbers, HVAC guys, construction workers, electricians, mechanics, etc. We have 529 plans for our 3 kids, but I don't think I'll be pushing college neccesarily.
