      Licensure is not free at least here in the US nor are the materials to acquire it. The cost is not just getting into the job though, you have to consider the cost of leaving a job that could have been better paying that maybe no longer exists. Someone with a family that just is not a real option. Now apply this “just go into a trade” logic to everyone who has lost their jobs or wants to have something better than they currently do and you’ll run out of trade jobs very fast. Same problem as today but different lens. Then what?

          Alright let’s entertain this; how long do you think it would take for an individual to land an apprenticeship in a trade? Keeping in mind these are usually very competitive beyond even my own country and limited in number even if you went across all the trades in your area. How about the hundreds of even thousands of people in your area do the same?
