AI Boom Could Make Blue-Collar Trades More Lucrative Than Tech Jobs

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicts that blue-collar trades such as plumbing, construction, and electrical work could eventually out-earn traditional high-paying fields in tech and finance.

The Taiwanese-American tech mogul argues that the world is on the cusp of a massive infrastructure buildout, driven by the need for skilled tradespeople to build and maintain the massive data centers required to power artificial intelligence.

Huang notes that one does not need a Ph.D. in computer science to work in these fields, implying that they should be accessible to anyone who wants to make a good living.
