Built in the Midwest

There are careers that pay six figures, have massive demand, and take months to get into — not years.The reason most people never consider them has nothing to do with the work. It has to do with what they were never told.Built in the Midwest is where we have real conversations about careers in the skilled trades. From truck driving and electrical line work to heavy equipment and beyond. We bring in the people doing the work, the employers hiring for it, and the instructors training the next generation — because most people make career decisions with almost no real information. They pick a path based on what everyone else is doing, what sounds good on paper, or what their parents did. And then they spend the rest of their life wondering if they got it wrong.This show exists so you don't have to guess. You'll hear what the work actually looks like, what it pays, what employers want, and what nobody tells you before you get started.Hosted from Escanaba, Michigan by Midwest Truck Dri
