In a recent BigRentz poll of 3,000 people aged 18 to 24, only 11 percent stated that they think trade schools lead to high-paying jobs, and 54 percent believe the trade school pay gap is larger than it really is.
Despite the fact U.S. employers are struggling to fill a record seven million new job openings, the survey found young workers do not associate job security with trade schools, which explains the gradual decline in enrollments.
Still, 41 percent of the young adults polled said they would attend a trade school for better job opportunities and pay.
