Okay, maybe I've just known too many adjunct faculty members, but yeah, I don't assume that a Ph. D is automatically going to be gainfully employed.
I can see being concerned about Sam's family background and whether he'll consciously or unconsciously try to shove LW's daughter into a role against her will, and whether Sam's going to continue trusting daughter when she inevitably makes some small mistake. Also, "thinking about becoming a carpenter" isn't the same thing as "has started his apprenticeship".
But LW's worrying about the wrong thing. If one of my kids wants to become a carpenter (plumber, AC technician, any skilled trade), I will be happy that they've found a job that's currently difficult to outsource/offshore.
