I think they meant construction. Retail and services will always be ‘growing’, but thats due to turnover and seasonal hiring.
If you learn a trade you have a skill you can take anywhere and essentially be your own boss. Electrician, hvac, framing, plumbing are always needed and aren’t readily replaced by a computer.
When i travel I take my tools with me. I can save the people who let me stay at their houses money by doing work they need done, and I can fetch myself work from neighbors and friends to make extra money. I think of it as always having a way to make money on the road.
There are stores that supply every trade in your area. eg. Plumbing supply, electrical supply, hvac supply. Just go to one and ask whos hiring.
As an electrician, its obviously the superior trade.
Coding and alot of software work is very similar. I guess my main point is find a job where you are gaining a skill that you can use independently from your employer. I feel that service and retail work is admirable but your not gaining a skill that is useful on its own. Im a jerk.

I don’t think construction is good for me, my body is taking a tool as it is just working at a hardware store. Hence why I wanted to do software shit.
