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?

Linemen for the power company will always stay busy regardless of the economy, and it pays stupid well.

My boss is a former lineman; he quit because there was a lot of bullshit dealing with the power company. I gather that the pay in my area wasn't that great either. When storms roll through, shifts are going to be long and brutal.
