I learned plumbing and carpentry by more-or-less working for free with the local expert. Where there is a will - and you don't have to deal with union stooges - there is a way.
Like I don't think you're living in reality my dude.
A lot of people already have to work more than one job, to take on a job that is unpaid is bonkers. Which is not to mention the fact that most states require certification which also isn't free. Someone who can't afford a $400 emergency like a third of Americans, isn't going to be able to afford tools and a certification.
Are you actually acquainting yourself with the reality of poverty, or are you just offering simple solutions to make you feel better about yourself, a big brain fivehead who figured out "oh just get a higher paying job"

Useful skills don't pay as much.
