Can we stop saying the trades need people?

So boomer relatives have been telling me to join a trade union, aced the tests,, I've attempted countless times to many different ones just to be told I need experience in the trade. Each time there was over 300 applying for 12 apprentice positions… the non union jobs want experience only. Wtf. Boomer relatives said “if I wanted it bad enough they would take me” The trades don't need people. Period. This is the new “just go to college” bullshit.
