I believe the trades are actually pretty profitable as long as you run your own shop? I could be wrong of course.

Gotta have capital to run a shop. When you struggle to buy a shack to live in, you'll also struggle to put a van on a road, own a shop to operate, buy enough materials and equipment up front.

Ive been at my new position for nearly a year and im doing great. Im going to make it clear to my boss soon that if he wants to keep me, i need to make enough to enter the housing market.

That's true. I suppose nobody starts their own company right away, gotta get experience and capital first.
