The above video is of a discussion that took place at the World Economic Forum between Larry Fink and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang on the impact of AI and robotics on the future of work, specifically how the infrastructure needed is creating huge opportunities in the skilled trades. The need for skilled labor is great and growing, and earnings potential is growing dramatically.
The conversation takes place about 18 minutes into the video.

Keicher highly recommends that anyone considering a career in the trades take a look at these apprenticeship opportunities.
