I am about to enroll in Job Corps next week and I need to pick one of these trades to learn. Job Corps is a free school for low income individuals(like myself). Other trades taught are; Human Services, Culinary Arts, Security, Corrections, Medical Assistant, Cement Mason, Machinist, Welding, Material Handler, Auto Tech, Auto Body repair, Lithograph Printing, Business office Tech, Computer Service Tech(I am skilled with computers), Painting, Electrician, Facilities Maintenance, Carpentry, Brick Mason, Plasterer. The above trades are what I believe to be the better picks, but input from a world of Yahooers would be helpful, thank you guys!

Network Cabling is the one that has caught my interest, but please give me your input

I think you need to ask yourself if you want to work indoors or outdoors. Some of them will definately put you outdoors most of the time. Depending on where you'll be living, that can be really uncomfortable. If you'd rather be indoors, then the nursing assitant would be a good choice. There are a lot of jobs in the nursing industry and good money to be made.

Depends on you. Do you do well in high stress, quick thinking situations or how about extreme detail? Would you rather have the same thing packaged just slightly different or a total repackaging every day? Culinary arts is fun, I know of a lot of people that are good in the kitchen, but its what they LOVE to do.
Find what you love, then find out a way to get someone to pay you for it :-)
P.S. "computer" doesn't always mean "lots of money" ...the electrican probably makes the most on that list.

I know some people who are network cablers, it looks like it's a lot of hard physcal work and you need to be good with your hands (I'm not, that's why I'm getting into programming). Network cabling is particularly bad when you have to get into insultated atics and things of that nature.
A computer service tech is a bit easier labor and with the popularity of services like Geek Squad I think you'd be able to find more work. Also I think it would connect more to other things that pay a lot more like computer network and such (get certifications).
From what I've seen they both pay about the same.
I can't say anything about the other trades.

the first one seems sparkling and extra 'specialist', images sensible; notwithstanding the second one one is livelier and his smile in it type of feels to be extra actual. regardless of the very incontrovertible actuality that i love them both, i'd %. the second one one for some thing particular. It is going without putting forward, you've a suited son. :) advantages
