Raleigh Entrepreneur Lin Honeycutt Urges Focus on Skilled Trades and Self-Employment Paths
Local business owner says hands-on careers deserve more respect—and more attention—as Raleigh’s workforce evolves
Raleigh, NC, 19th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As Raleigh continues to grow into a hub for tech, higher education, and remote work, longtime entrepreneur Lin Honeycutt is urging young people and career changers in the region to consider skilled trades and self-employment as viable, rewarding career paths.
“There’s a lot of talk about four-year degrees and tech jobs—and that’s fine,” said Honeycutt, who started his first business, Honeycutt Transmission, after earning an associate’s degree in auto mechanics. “But nobody’s talking about the fact that we need welders, mechanics, HVAC techs, electricians. And you can build a great life doing those things.”
Honeycutt, who now owns The Holiday Light Store and Fieldstream Farm, has spent over 40 years self-employed. He says the success of his ventures, from a nationally known Christmas light show to a busy farm venue in Raleigh, proves that hands-on careers can lead to economic independence, job stability, and community value.
“I never had a backup plan,” Honeycutt said. “But I had a skill. And I learned how to serve people well.”
According to the North Carolina Department of Commerce, demand for skilled trades is expected to rise significantly in the next decade. The state projects:
- A 12% increase in HVAC jobs by 2030
- Over 16,000 annual openings in construction and repair fields
- And more than 100,000 workers in North Carolina currently in jobs that do not require a four-year degree, but still pay well above the median wage
“These are good careers,” Honeycutt said. “But we’ve trained a whole generation to look past them.”
He points to the shortage of skilled labor as both a challenge and an opportunity in the Raleigh area. With ongoing urban development, infrastructure expansion, and rising housing demand, there is a clear need for local talent.
“It’s not just about finding a job,” he said. “It’s about building something you can call your own.”
Honeycutt is encouraging Raleigh residents—especially young adults, parents, and career-changers—to:
- Explore skilled trade programs at local community colleges and trade schools
- Consider entrepreneurship in areas like repair services, agriculture, or seasonal events
- Talk openly about non-traditional paths to success
- Support apprenticeship and mentorship programs in Wake County
“We don’t need more people waiting around for the perfect job,” Honeycutt said. “We need people who can wire a house, fix a tractor, or build something from scratch.”
Now in his late 60s, Honeycutt reflects on a career where hands-on work provided more than just income. “I didn’t chase trends. I just got good at what I did and kept showing up. That’s all success really is.”
He also emphasizes that skilled work is not lesser—it’s essential.
“The Christmas light show? The farm? None of that happens without real-world skills,” he said. “Not just from me, but from electricians, installers, and people who know how to get things done.”

MindShift Psychological Services’ Experts Discuss the Importance of Therapy for Divorced Fathers
MindShift Psychological Services Highlights the Critical Role of Therapy in Supporting Divorced Fathers’ Mental Health
Corona, California, 19th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, MindShift Psychological Services is emphasizing the importance of therapy for divorced fathers, recognizing that the end of a marriage can have a profound emotional impact on fathers as they navigate the challenges of co-parenting, emotional adjustment, and personal healing. The organization’s team of licensed therapists offers expert guidance and specialized support to help divorced fathers cope with the mental health challenges they face, enabling them to rebuild their emotional resilience and foster healthier relationships with their children.
Divorce can be a highly stressful and emotionally taxing experience for all involved, but for many fathers, the process can be particularly difficult. Whether facing the loss of daily contact with their children, the strain of negotiating custody arrangements, or feelings of guilt and isolation, divorced fathers often experience heightened emotional distress. Without adequate support, these challenges can lead to anxiety, depression, anger, and difficulty in maintaining a balanced life.
“At MindShift Psychological Services, we understand that divorced fathers face unique emotional hurdles that can significantly impact their mental health,” said a representative from MindShift Psychological Services. “Therapy offers a valuable opportunity for fathers to process their emotions, gain perspective, and develop coping strategies that not only help them heal but also enable them to become better fathers and partners in the co-parenting process.”
Therapy provides divorced fathers with a safe space to address complex feelings such as grief, anger, and resentment, which are common during and after a divorce. MindShift Psychological Services offers specialized therapy sessions designed to support fathers as they work through these emotions, helping them to better understand their emotional responses and find healthier ways to manage their feelings. By addressing these emotions head-on, fathers can prevent negative behaviors such as withdrawal, irritability, or unhealthy coping mechanisms that can further strain their relationships with their children.
Therapy can help fathers regain a sense of self-worth and build emotional resilience. Divorce often leads to a loss of identity, especially if a father’s role was primarily defined by his marriage. Through therapy, fathers can rediscover their sense of purpose, strengthen their emotional well-being, and improve their overall mental health.
In addition to in-person therapy, MindShift Psychological Services offers telehealth options, making therapy more accessible for divorced fathers who may face time or logistical barriers to in-person visits. This flexibility allows fathers across California to access support from licensed therapists in a convenient, confidential, and comfortable setting.
MindShift Psychological Services remains dedicated to helping divorced fathers heal emotionally and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. For those seeking support, the center provides a safe, welcoming space where fathers can receive the professional care they need to thrive as individuals and co-parents.
About MindShift Psychological Services
MindShift Psychological Services is a leading mental health provider committed to offering compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals of all backgrounds. With a focus on supporting divorced fathers, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, and family counseling, the organization provides in-person and telehealth services to ensure accessible, identity-affirming care.
