A 4 year degree instead of trade school or as apprenticeship, seems reasonable.

For the creatives certain trades do well too: blacksmith who does ornamental building elements, a master stone mason (cut stone), and millwork guys. Basically, high end crafted elements made by hand command premium prices, so those specialty "master craftsman" types are paid quite well for their expertise and custom pieces. But... their market is limited; people think it's cool stuff, but it is hard to get them to pay for it....

But at this point, I'm working on Plan F.
