>>50504035Just make sure you have a clean criminal record.
>>50499153I work for this Filipino woman doing drywall/painting or whatever the fuck she wants. I did cash for like a year, I even did her math course for her for cash. Payroll now, decent pay, but not enough hours.I do windows with a Russian friend, cash. Really sick job sites.
>>50499396They’re lying fren it’s a cope that the reality is programmers dry up womens pussy like the Sahara desert and most are autistic incels that only get to feel superior in any aspect of their lives is by anonymous LARPing on /biz/ that they make 200k a year doing one hours worth of work a week writing code. Reality is they are doing multiple hours worth of work a day, in scrum meetings every morning with some boomer breathing down their neck about getting their shit done (maybe not always but more often then LARPers pretend that they can just lie and say an hours worth of stuff will take them a week). I’ve done both but I’m with its better to be in an office setting up especially if you can work remote or hybrid so you aren’t fucking up your body out in the heat/cold all day. All jobs have their pitfalls it’s just more mental stress when it comes to white collar jobs.
>>50499704Meh trades bros are based and aren’t beta cuckolds whose HR department and boss keep their balls in a jar in their desk. Tradesmen aren’t afraid to call a nigger a nigger or tell their boss to go fuck himself if he’s being a faggot where white collar wagies bend over and say thank you sir may I have another while bowing to George Floyd and diversity hires.
>>50506414>I do windows with a Russian friendI do doors with a Ukranian friend. We should fight.
>>50499153Pipefitter/welder. Just chilling after working at a corn syrup plant and a pharmaceutical manufacturer. One was fucking hot inside while the other was air conditioned. Going to make calls next week to get back out there.
>>50499842Yeah, I am lucky that I naturally make more money than I spend but once I got "the spark" I have never been close to being broke and needing to hustle.
I operate a mobile crane. I browse the chans multiple hours a day during work but I also average 55 hours a week and I’m sick of it. I want to get into programming now but it’s hard to get started with those hours.
>>50499153>trade worker pride threadlmaoEnjoy being burnt out husks of men with broken bodies by age 40 you arrogant wage slaves.
>>50499914Took me a couple of years of applying to get into mine. I just kept working welding jobs, taking classes, getting experience, and in my case the union held a welding contest in which I was a runner-up. Showed effort.
Hey Bros, dont let those spamers fool ya. Invest only the trusted products! Like Yopi Network.>Fastest and cheapest payment tool in the world>Highly scalable, community driven>Full-stack platform with all crypto abilities and techs>33%-49%-66% APY / 30-60-90 days lock
>>50502830I just fast. I am simply not hungry in the middle of the day. A drink will do.
>>50506502They would place bets on us like some underground job site cock-fight
>>50506426Lmao that's a lot of cope.Did Pajeet from Java school cuck you or something?
>>50506739>programmer >cucking anyone Lmao that’s a good one, I’m in consulting and work with programmers from a multitude of large corps daily and just stating what I’ve observed in real life compared to the LARPS I see on /biz/ and what your professors in uni tell you your future will be like. What I see on my end is them usually working overtime and odd hours to fire fight shit wrong with their code and getting yelled at by some boomer why their shit isn’t working.
>>50499609It's so fucking easy love it
>>50499153I legit get to yell my boss down if he's being unreasonable and getting in my way of working. But he's a good man just getting older and dealing with pre diabetes
>>50501445The fuck do you think welding masks are for?
>>50506426trades aren't for me but you're dead on about the software """profession."""
i got an associates degree in HVAC hoping to get into controls eventually but nobody cared about the degree and i was having a hard time just getting an entry level job because of how competitive they are. companies just want people with field experience already and they don't want to train even if its just for a month or two, so i said fuck these cocksuckers and went into IT instead. making the same money with the potential to earn a lot more and i'm not killing myself in 100 degree attics. trades are a meme.
>>50499396Accounting bro it’s so easy I am living a dream bro. $90k and six weeks paid vacation. I’m on vacation right now my ninja.
In one hour I will start a 16 hours shift welding in a construction site after a fucking week of office work. Yeah, they paid good but still im too tired bros...
>>50507079same except i'm at $95k but only 3.5 weeks of vacation. i should have negotiated for more vacation, fuck.
>>50499153Carpenter.I got up at 2 am to drive 6 hours to site with a broken piece of shit company truck. My trailer was too heavy for the truck and i warned them. Now the transmission is blown. After driving 6 hours I got to site and had to do the painters job because there are no painters in this shithole I'm in or my company is being cheap. 10 hours later I passed out and now I have to go install a headwall on a culvert 3 hours away. I'm a second year and in 3 years I'm already a foreman/super. I fucking hate this company so much. I'm not being paid enough for this shit. 28/hr is a joke.At least I have my stinkies
>>50499153I do welding inspectionIt's nightshift but its kinda dope, get ~10 hours worth of work done in 6.5 and get paid for the full 10. Nobody around to bother me, got a speaker to play music or whatever. $39/h right now, eyeing up certification that'll push me to $55/h.
>>50499153Groundworks and plant ops here. I enjoy the summers but the winters are fucking brutal. Keeps you fit and most the people you meet are like minded and down to earth. Apart from engineers. Fuck engineers.Gw Is a job I find you end up doing after you fuck everything else up in your life kek. T. Retard.
>>50499153Skilled labourer/carpenter. Looking to build up my knowledge to build/rejovate my own house for self sustainability in the future when SHTF. Heat wave has been pretty insane but we are metres away from the water and have been able to swim on break.I wish I would make it I'm crypto so I could house flip with my fiancé and eventually have some land and build a timber frame church.
>>50499153Sewer/Drain guy here. Kinda slow this week. Wonder if the party may be over or if this is a temporary slow down.
>>50506426>the reality is programmers dry up womens pussy like the Sahara desertlol you’re not wrong, but any woman with an iota of college education sees tradies as inferior to her, even if they’re making more moneyif you actually derive status and self esteem from your job, sales, medicine, and law are the only options. tradies go to womens houses in hopes of living out some porno fantasy
Materials inspector. It's easily the easiest job for field work.
>>50499704How to spot a nigger who has no idea what is needed for his nigger metropolis to continue functioning.
>>50507446How hard was the cert for that? I'm doing concrete/soil inspection right now but looking into welding if it's worth it. Mind you I have 0 welding experience
>>50509951>but any woman with an iota of college education sees tradies as inferior to herLooks are what matters. I have had multiple professionals want me, the plumber, to date their daughters. I have had countless female clients and people i work for comment on my looks and how handsome i am. Even had people say I’m too good looking to be a plumber lol. I’m not even some gigachad or something just tall with good genetics.
>>50506814>yelled at by some boomerWouldn't boomers be nearly 70 years old (average) why would they still gave a damm?
>>50499704Seething history major in debt
>>50509951Basically what this anon said >>50510037a kid I was friends with in grade schools parents got divorced because the dad walked in on his wife getting railed by the plumber KEK. You’re halfway right tho they’ve been indoctrinated to think tradies are inferior even tho they can easily earn as much or more than your typically white collar wagie (especially if they start their own business). College and career women are fucking NPC cattle and memes tho so their opinions mean very little to me. >>50510517I’m just using boomer as a stereotype for some boomer minded gen x manager or whatever generation they’re from. Regardless boomers are notorious for being loyal bootlickers to shekelstein.
>>50510006are you retarded or are you retarded ?
>>50500101So that’s the can of bangs everyone is meming about.
good morning /biz/I work for a steel fabricator (as a draftsman) and I just wanted to sayFUCK ARCHITECTSFUCK ENGINEERSAND FUCK JANNIES
>>50499153£250 a brick mate
>>50499153Electrician here. I haven’t worked in 2 months. I hate myself and I hate my job. I have a house and a kid and I’m so desperate for work I’m probably going to start washing dishes. I make/made 20 an hour as an electrician and I want to be a chef.
>>50499574Aren’t studs supposed to be vertical?
Glazer here. still, no one cares
I'm just getting out of the military and want to get into plumbing or electrical with my gi bill. Should I fuck myself for money for awhile and get hired on as a laborer while I wait for my apprenticeship application to be approved? I have zero formal experience with either trade
t. Boilermakerwouldn't want to be any other trade, boilermakers are the best and can go anything.working at industrial steel shop right now, kinda sucks. They need steel fitters so bad I cant get away with anything. Been calling in sick once a week min. didnt work yesterday aint working today.fuck em
>>50511066You guys must make good money in a BLM infested areas. Do you pray for riots?
>>50511104I started zero trade experience. I went to trade school, 6 month crash course basically. if you get grades above 70% you got to join the union at the end.
>>50503399Congrats man.
>>50499153For me, it's custom cement jobs. My body hurts pretty bad every day but I'm stronger than you are. I can't do it forever, but I don't plan on it.
>>50499153Journeyman plumber. Make enough that I don't work during the summer so my job site ATM is my homestead. Raining today so lazy day tinkering around on various projects as the fancy strikes me. Just fixed a pinhole leak>>50506471Best thing about trades is I can't get cancelled. Go ahead and tell my boss I called you a niggerfaggot. He's just gonna say, "Well...are you?" Then give me anpther raise kek.
>>50509951>As inferiorYeah, maybe. Till they want their pussies pounded properly.
I want to be an electrician so bad brosWhy won’t my local schedule the fucking test for apprenticeships
>>50512209you know what, you tradies ain’t half bad
>>50499716money won't buy you class, class won't buy you charm, charm won't buy you love and love can't buy you money.
>>50499704Really good actually. Come from retail and now make 100k per year. No qualifications, no prior work experience. Just learned on the job and read the plans jn my own time
>>50499704kek, these (You)'s are well earned
>>50512396Most tradies worth a shit (not your craigslist spices) are just hi IQ people that think sitting behind a desk all day is tantamount to death. Don't know why everyone is always so surprised. There is a reason tradies are called the "salt of the earth".We dgaf because we are independent by nature. It's why people like myself find the idea of neet so appalling. It's not that we don't like free money. It's because we know that money isn't free and the very idea of voluntarily giving someone else leverage over you is idiotic as far as I'm concerned.With tradie skills o can go literally anywhere in the world and be set up and works Ng a high paying job in a week and self sufficient in less than a year.
>>50506426this only applies to average/shitty developers. solid 10x software developers are treated and compensated like royalty.yeah i agree it's a shitty job for someone that doesn't have an eye for design and efficiency who can only be an average developer at best, but for the few truly talented developers it's an absolute goldmine of a career. at that level you can easily get a big name on your resume and leave to found a startup or build your own software consulting firm. the possibilities are endless for the intelligent developer.
>>50499153Tradies are all LARP'ers, check the median salary and you'll see most working for $25-30/hr. Imagine working with a bunch of illiterate niggers and having to abuse painkillers just to make 60-70k BEFORE taxes.
>>50510881>I want to be a chefwhy? you'll be working all the time and be running around throughout the day too. also the pay is shit unless you're at the very top like executive sous chef or somethingt. had a classmate who was a chef at facebook
>>50512668>treated and compensated like royalty. Compensated maybe you guys get treated like absolute nerds and dorks by sales chads and the Stacie’s they fuck lol. I don’t get why this website glorifies it you still like I said earlier leave your balls in a jar in the desk of your manager and watch every diversity training assigned to you and behave like a good little cuck for your globohomo master shekelstein even if you make a good salary. For sure tho easy to job hop but any job in that field is absolutely 100% globohomo cucked. Meanwhile my trade bros literally will scream nigger when stubbing their toe and everyone on the job site will laugh.
>>50499153How can anyone see pic in OP and still work? Is death not preferable to humiliating slavery? She doesn’t work or has a bullshit easy job and can divorce him and take all his stuff.
>>50512821>get treated like absolute nerds and dorks by sales chads and the Stacie’s they fuck loldoesn't happen in companies where the main product is either software or contracted developer time, which are where all the top developers are anyways. what you're describing are industries that use software to do their day-to-day business, and the software is more of a cost center instead of producing profit for the company.no good developers work at these types of companies. i made the mistake of getting a job with one of these companies straight out of college, left 6 months later for double the salary lmaoand the diversity stuff doesn't really make a difference when you work from home.>30 minute zoom meeting in the morning>spend the rest of the day doing tasks at my own pace and calling people jews in eve onlinewhite collar workers in offices are definitely cucked though, i'll never need to work in an office ever again.
>>50506426holy copium
>>50512882>HumiatingNot in the least. Haven't met a tradie yet that won't tell his boss to fuck off and roll up off a job leaving the contractor holding his dick on his hand if he tries to be an ass>SlaveryWe provide a skill at an agreed upon price . If we don't like the work or don't like the environment we have the freedom to quit without notice and get new work in less than 24 hours. What part of that sounds like slavery to you?
>>50510968They are. He took a photo sideways.
>>50512951Developers and tradies unite against the cucked office worker!
>>50510006The average home inspector everyone.0 experience. 0 clue.
>>50500101is sitting in front of a window unit bad for you?
>>50512691>60-70kYeah, in the Midwest where 35k is a livable wage and decent houses cost 80-150k. Tradies, as a rule of thumb, make twice the avg annual income for the area they live in. If you are a tradie and not in that ball park you're either shit or under paid.
>>50513329why would it be?>>50513177and when you walk out they'll bring in a hispanic who'll do anything and everything because he needs to feed his family
>>50513500Just say you have no experience with contracting. It's much easier. Beaners do grunt work. No contractor that wants to stay in business would trust a Mexican to install a fuse box, hydro test a line or weld a pipe.
>>50513500Not to mention you have to be licensed and inspectors check to ensure all you people are qualified. If you're on the job you have to be able to produce your license in 15 min on demand by an inspector (get them out of the truck) or you and the contractor get fined.
>>50513500I don't get it. Why would you even voice an opinion on a subject you know nothing about in a thread for literal experts on the subject? Why open yourself up to that kind of embarrassment and ridicule? I don't know what worse, your ignorance or hubris in thinking your opinion is just as valid as people who do this every day. Go back anon. You're not ready for the chan's.
>>50499704It sucks...
Just posting here to say I appreciate you guys for keeping housing inventory from being too low, like Canada.Captcha: gay8n
>>50513858you're retarded and that's why you're in trades. hispanics are in all levels of the industry. if you think you're hot shit just because you manage them you're sorely mistaken. you're still a monkey, you just know the codes better than they do but they'll catch up and they'll put all the lazy white trash like you out of work, god willing.
>>50514472Trying too hard
>>50513266>soil/concrete is home inspection Ask me how I know you're a laborer
Cope thread. You can get ahead in the short term by doing manual labor but you hit the wall.
>>50514492Kek. Couldn't have said it better myself
>>50514472Good to know you're capable of feeling embarrassment. Means you have a soul. So there's hope for you yet. Now just gotta work on your knee jerk reaction of anger when your inferiority gets exposed and you'll be well on your way to being a human.
>>50514569>Manual labor>TradiePick one. They are not the same.anual labor dogs ditches. Tradies do trig with a sharpie on the fly 180 ft in the air in 20 mph winds.
>>50506471Kek I remember one of hour guys refused to stay another 4 hours late cause he got surprised fucked by an impromptu job. He begged me to stay and I told him no straight to his face. It was also a sprinkler line he was working on kek
>>50512691>
>>50514957ok NIGGER, anyone can find a job posting for a union job in fucking California.Learn what MEDIAN means. FUCKING NIGGERSad part is some people will fall for these inflated salary claims and waste their life on being a tradie
>>50499153If you are in a trade job where your co-workers are spics, European subhumans (Poles, Hungarians, etc.) and niggers, you have proven you're fucking garbage and can't compete in a man's world.Have fun getting abused, injured, replaced and made redundant while I'll just keep doing 2+ remote jobs (still getting the work done in under 10 hours a week, stay mad tradetard)
>>50515500First checked, but a waste of digits. He was proving my point earlier. You know, where your arguement got btfo and stopped responding for 4 hours.>>50513334Here ^^^
>>50512570That's not true, you have to get certain certifications which are area-specific to get the "good" jobs. Even then, unless you are connected via family or have some union ties, you're not getting anything more than 60k/hr. Sorry tradie
>>50515601>arguementESL or trade-nigger? Either way, I stand by my point, working in trades is a really stupid decision, and is often a last-resort. That's why trades are filled with criminals, retards, and foreigners for the most part. You want to throw your life away, getting up at 4 a.m. and driving 2 hours to the job-site, hopped up on painkillers, just to deal with back-breaking labor and getting your IQ drained from dealing with nogs/spics all day, be my guest.
>>50515778You genuinely know nothing about trades do you?But for fun, why not humor you.My avg day when I'm working.Wake up at 5:30- get a workout inEat light bfast at 6:30Take a shower around 7Wake up the kid and bursh her hair while the wife makes the bfast Head in to work around 7:45 to 8.Work my 8 hours, get offered OT. Take it or not depending on my mood.Work usually consists of residential plumbing so spend most my day driving around with an hour or two at each house- mind you I've been getting paid since 8.Go home, have dinner waiting (I make enough the wife stays home)Family sites at table and eats dinner.Afterwards my kid and I usually boot up Dark Souls 1 and we spend 20 minutes or so making funny looking characters.By now it's around 8. Book and bath time for the kids.After bath one more book. Tuck them in.Then the wife and I either fuck, or watch a movie together while she's tells me about her day.That's pretty much the routine. Nice and comfy.Keep in mind that's only during the winter since I don't work in the summer. Summer time there is too much to do at the homestead between planting and the animals to bother with working.Only a couple trades I know do genuine hard labor, and most those guys enjoy it. The ones that hate it generally don't last too long.
>>50499396You cant make money doing nothing, even in crypto you still have to build the right portfolio to make good gains and that will not happen without some effort. As your portfolio grows, it is pertinent to link your wallet to a privacy platform for the purpose of shielding balances and farming strategies from prying eyes
>>50510037if you’re already tall and good looking then it doesn’t really matter what you do thenyou could be working in a kitchen or a gas station and still get laid
>>50516072Women don't care about looks. Ugly fat poor guys get hot chicks all the time. Saying it's looks or money is just cope so you don't have to acknowledge you are boring.It's easier to blame things outside your control than to change yourself
>>50499153I visited a mountain city where it is cool all year and everyone is just as miserable lol.
commercial hvac service technician here. the trades are a meme and if you can get a white-collar job that is equivalent take it in a heartbeat.been in field for 4 years, make the most money i ever have in my life but it comes at the cost of 50-80 hour weeks in shit gay conditions. Trades are AMAZING life upgrade vs any unskilled job/retail/restaurant/etc. tradesman can make 100k+, but those dudes are typically at the top of the pay grade and also work 50-80 hours a week in the same hellish conditions. 100 degrees literally all week here, was on a white roof changing a compressor for 12 hours + the fact you have to rope up and carry over 300+ lbs of equipment and tools.ask any boomer and he'll tell you they made more money back in the daytl;dr: Blue collar wages simply do not keep up with inflation.
>>50516123I’m not looking for advice, also no they don’t
>>50516072Picrel. Ralpie may and his wife who is a solid 6 They got together when he was still just a poor fat ugly comedian. But he was funny and that's enough.

>>50516209>>50516221>over 30 woman tries to use relationship with morbidly obese man to leverage her own comedy careerI can see how this may appear to be attraction if you’re retarded, but you might as well stop posting how did they even have sex with him being that much of a slob ? were you sitting in the corner jerking off while he rolled his gut on her?
>>50516127>Blue collar wages simply do not keep up with inflationIf your wages aren't keeping up with inflation you need to renegotiate your agreement. If you're not good enough that they won't bump up your pay 9.5% to keep you around you're not good at your job.

What's a good state to be a plumber or a nice city to be in? I'm in new york city and I have 2.5 years a helper, guys at my job say I'm able to do Jr. Mechanic work. I would try to join a union but apparently it's fucked with extreme nepotism and people going through the front door sleep outside the office for like 5+ days.

>>50499153Just finished my second week of my residential electrician apprenticeship. I'm still mostly doing the grunt work and observing, but I've been learning lots and started doing small things on my own with minimal guidance like run wire or set up cans or rough in outlets.>>50499704Thankfully I've paid off all the debts from the mistake that was (((college))) and now I'm actually learning something new every day.>>50506560You're thinking of retail or fast food or delivery jobs. Those will kill your soul or destroy your body. I've never felt better now that I'm learning a practical skill.
>>50499842I'm but a lowly machine operator and save or invest the majority of my take-home every check. Retards leave to go buy lunch, I make giant sandwiches every day of the week with chips for like 50$ total. They buy redbull for 3-5$ a can at the gas station on the way to work, I buy it for half or a third of the price from the grocery store once a week. They spend their money on nice cars, I buy shitboxes and run them to death and just go buy another cheap shitbox that will have the interior covered in Motul in less than a week. There's a lot of idiots in the trades when it comes to money. Drugs are the big one tbqh, meth ain't free and neither is liquor.

Trade brethren, is there nothing better than the sense of a job well done? I fucking love leveling I am an Audio Visual Installer/Integrator. We get to mix putting together programming puzzles with mechanical punch-ins and occasional low voltage electrical. I can do some rudimentary high voltage but make great money so don't wanna risk becoming dead being wizard

>>50516786It's funny, because 99% of my work noone will ever see but I still try to make it look pretty so the next guy that comes to repair it in 50 years looks at it and thinks, "This mother fucker knew what's up." Kek
>>50499153Quit my construction job, no more HVAC or electric for me. Fuck that bullshit. I will tap on a keyboard for money and get my fitness from the gym from now on. I don't envy you idiots at all. 10 years of my life I did that retarded bullshit. Terrible. I never should have believed hard work was a virtue, it only prevented me from leaning into my true talents.

>>50516790Work has already set me free, but I want to be freer. The only white collar workers I respect are the ones that can still shake my hand without being scared I might break it, and they're few and far between. Even the fucking office manager at the plant I work at could easily shitkick most whelps and still knows how to run and do everything on the job. I do not understand soft people. It's literally more work and sadness being weak than it is just putting the time and effort in to be strong. There's zero excuse, and I have respect for those in white collar professions that haven't forgotten the value in being able to break another man with just their hands. All the rest are shit though.

>>50516658No I'm not caucasian, I'm fair skinned but I don't like to be a poser. I don't get why a tradie would be racist since there's fuck all of types of people in the trades.

who /pureblood/been bludging off cenno and doing cashies. thinking of growing and selling weed for an extra 10k-20k a year. any tips?
>>50516306you obviously dont work a trade lol.no employer is raising you 10% year over year, when they could find a guy who gets paid half of what you do and be 80-95% as good as you. Even if some absolute mind-freak GOD of an electrician/hvac tech made $50 an hour. (I don't know any person in either field who makes this wage).That's only 80k net. This person would have to work 50 hours a week to clear 100k. lateisha is in the office slapping her itchy wig making 100k doing nothing. it's simply not worth itThe highest paid trade is a linesman and they work like fucking dogs. learn to google faggot.
>>50499153forklift certified here, hot weather is the worst.
>>50517649>no employer is raising you 10% year over year,Who said 10% year over year? Goddamn. No wonder your pay sucks. You're retarded.You said pay doesn't keep up with inflation. Current inflation is 9%. So I suggested asking for a 9% raise.Where I am our contract stipulates pay keeps pace with inflation. I was trying to help you. Now I see it's a lost cause.
>>50517689You meet minimum requirements to qualify. You will allotted 1 almost ugly fat girl, but she can cook and sucks a mean dick. A Dodge truck, not new but still under power train warranty and double wide, but you own the land and the trailer free and clear.

>>50516840m8, I'm sorry to tell you but tech companies froze hiring for most positions. hopefully you'll find some area where you can get a nice job or build your own tech thing, but... shit's getting hard, even for tech people.
>>50517960>He thinks I'm looking for a jobNo anon. You are stupid. You just want to say words.
>>50516926I did manual labor from 13 years old til I was 24 and I was bored of drinking myself to sleep after working to near death
>>50517836the only way you get a 9% raise by asking for it is getting another job
>>50517994>>He thinks I'm looking for a jobI never thought you said that.you said>Quit my construction job, no more HVAC or electric for me>I will tap on a keyboard for money>it only prevented me from leaning into my true talents.I assume you think there is a future in tech, and maybe you are either studying something related or learning by yourself. in any case, the short term outlook looks bad, so unless you already have some source of income, or don't have ways to avoid the current crisis, you shouldn't stop working IMO.
>>50518034Nah bro, I've got a great job. Been doing it for months. I suppose I should have formatted my post differently. Tech is extremely desperate in my area. They would sacrifice their children for tech workers where I live. You have no clue at all about this environment, just news and shitty internet forums.
>>50518070>You have no clue at all about this environment, just news and shitty internet forums.whatever man, enjoy your job then. good to know it works for you.I work in an area where people are desperate too, but even then, I'm worried about my future. I'm not dumb enough to believe this trend will last long enough for me to survive doing this shit for decades.

Aerospace CNC apprentice here. Good shekels, one more class for my associates and I'm taking a TIG welding course to boot. Good 401k, flexible hours. Glad I dropped out of 4-year.https://youtu.be/RxkAyLC_myU

>>50516992>I don't get why a tradie would be racist since there's fuck all of types of people in the trades.That's the problem. In White countries, there shouldn't be "fuck all types" in any profession. And every race uses nepotism to help their own ahead, but you only get your panties in a twist when Huwites do it. Go back.
>>50499574why can tradey's never figure out how to post a picture vertically or in the correct orientation? it's like an epidemic with you lot.
>>50519694Of course I can solder. Look around the repair. Not the best place to be swinging a torch. Pro-press is more fitting for that spot
>>50522526Nigger my net worth is 300k, had a mill during the bull run but was greedy and didn’t sell enough because I easily recognize that 200k isn’t shit. Def not poor even though it feels like it. Shit I’ve had years making 200k in the past it’s solid money but people that make that much are doing a lot more than an hours worth of work a week like the incel autist larpers on /biz/.
>>50499153I do sheet metal work, like soffit/cladding/fascia/capflashing/downpipes/etc on commercial buildings (lately I've been doing work on lots of major grocery stores in my city). Sometimes I do small roof repair jobs because I can also do flatroofing stuff like torching and tpo welding, and my company doesn't have to send more guys out then, but generally that will just be easy shit like sealing around a scupper or patching holes left by mechanical guys or my roof anchor.It's pretty chill, I like my job, it's definitely not anywhere close to as demanding as roofing and I get paid fairly decently ($35/hr, foreman rates are $40-45 at my company but I'm not a foreman). Idk if I'd want to be another trade, if anything I want to eventually get off the tools. But even still, half my days are just driving around measuring stuff to be fabricated so I really can't complain (I don't do fabrication, although I do know how to break sheet metal into stuff like siding and flashing at this company)Basically as long as my work looks good and nobody complains, I don't get any shit for how long it takes, or how many hours are marked down, and we have no direct supervision. Were just given addresses and have to send pictures in each day, my bosses have no idea how long our work actually takes and I haven't seen or talked to my boss in weeks

Dirt work anon here. Site work like digouts, bringing in utilities and the occasional septic install. 2 man team, an excavator and a skid steer. boss mostly operates and I mostly shovel/lay pipe. Hes let me do a couple jobs on my own so thats cool. Been doing it a year now and starting to operate more. Gonna get my cdl this winter then we'll get a dump truck. Paid cash like a mexican 18 an hour but alot of times if we finish a job earlier than expected boss will give me $300 -500 I hate it but Ive lost weight and am the strongest Ive been. hopefully we'll start getting bigger jobs and I can start operating on my own and graduate from shovel bitch and hire some mexicans.
