What's a good trade to learn? (lemm.ee)

With my college degree basically doing nothing for me at this point, I have been thinking about going back to school and pursuing a trade. I was wondering what are some trades that you recommend?

My local has a list of state subsidised courses that are "in demand", so presumably they have a high chance of a job and passable pay.

Commercial drone flying has been on that before. The most common ones seem to be carpentry, residential construction, and aged care for my area.

(obviously, check your local to see if a particular course has some sort of "workers needed now!" sign)
