Pay does sound good... but not many people want to be away from their families to support them. Family support also comes from being around, not just money.

I have a hard time believing any trade will accept anyone off the street with no prior experience and pay them 6-figures. It's nice advice if someone has the time and energy to devote to a career, but if we're talking about a person with a family and mouths to feed they can get jobs that pay the same entry level wage the trade would give with a better work/life balance.

That said, Do you have a website and link to the open 6-figure entry level paying door?

I found this job:

Which sounds like a lot of frilly language to say we'll take advantage of you and that it's not the type of job for a person needing to support a family.

And doing some research into the company seems to prove this point:

It’s so weirdly bright. I was driving its direction on the way to work and I had to put my sun shade down. In the process I noticed the actual sun and was real confused for a few seconds. We maybe touched on this in like some weather class but I don’t think I’ve ever noticed one before.
