A two-year technical school founded in 1929 (Orville Wright’s company had a hand in its founding), PIA houses programs in aviation maintenance and aviation electronics. ![]() “We just had a career fair here in Pittsburgh maybe four, five months ago, and we had more companies sign up to attend than we have graduating students,” says Steve Sabold, the director of admissions for the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics. Yet even with this massive shrinkage, there will still be approximately 9 million jobs in production, and for many jobs such as aircraft technicians, the lack of growth will not mean a lack of available jobs. How about the technical trades? On its surface, the prospects for the job market look to be the victims of automation, with an estimated 282,100 jobs eliminated in production fields by 2024. Between 20, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that over 700,000 jobs will have been added in the occupations of registered nurses (439,300 jobs) and nursing assistants (262,000). This success makes sense, as the nursing trade is projected to grow even more in the coming years. The graduates of four nursing schools – including those of St Paul's School of Nursing-Queens, our top-ranked trade school – make over $74,000 annually six years after college, more than double the national average for students from all higher education intuitions according to the College Scorecard. According to Payscale, the largest online salary database, an associate’s degree in nursing will get you paid quickly, and with a $52,500 early career median salary, the degree ranks third for pay among associates degrees -– and higher than 75% of four-year majors. No trade schools embody the two-year advantage better than what the Carnegie Classification of Institutions refers to as “Special Focus Two-Year: Health Professions” institutions.
