Second Act Trades publishes practical career guidance for adults considering skilled trades and technical work in the United States.
We separate reported facts from our own comparisons. Claims about pay, training, licensing, job outlook, or physical demands need a source or a clear explanation of their limits. We do not invent testimonials, job outcomes, salary promises, or expert endorsements.
We prefer primary sources and identify them near the relevant information. If a source changes, a link breaks, or a reader points out an error, we review the page and record the correction when the change affects the reader’s decision.
Some pages may eventually contain affiliate links or sponsored placements. Those relationships will be disclosed, and payment will not decide which career or program we recommend. Editorial decisions remain separate from advertising.
