The looming labor shortage means a sustainable path to the middle class is in the trades, rather than in a college education (nearing half-a-million dollars for a bachelor’s degree at a state school in 2035) financed by loans.

Instead of asking “what’s going to change in 10 years?”, ask:

“What’s NOT going to change in 10 years?”

Answer: demand for skilled labor in the trades, plumbers, electricians, etc
