Yeah, kind of. We're at a point where handymen are getting harder to find and are in demand everywhere, at least in Europe. It's becoming increasingly difficult to get an appointment with one. Yet, the market refuses to raise wages accordingly. The market isn't always rational, especially not in a "social market economy" system. We don't really have completely free markets anymore.

But I see the future trends in my kids too. They don't necessarily want to go to college and get into BS jobs, even though they could. They're also interested in jobs like mechatronics and car mechanics.
