As a Purdue alumni, this is embarrassing. My husband and I have floated the "learn a trade" balloon w/each of our kids (vs college). As homeowners remodeling/renovating a 70+ year old home, we know the value of masonry professionals, trustworthy general contractors, and craftsmen in various areas. They could name their price, work the schedule they want, and avoid much of today's cancel culture/politics.
