my apprenticeship has been shit... tell that to the bosses who all treat us like shit and expect us to stay with them after our 5 year apprenticeship... a flash new work truck to use when I want isn't a reward, it's tax deductable and is given back when I find a better paying job 😂😂

You should have a chat with all of the OWNERS that dont want to pay their people adequetly

Nobody especially my generation wants to break our backs and work for a futureless future. You tell me will I get to see social security after breaking my body working in trade? No why we are 35 trillion in debt and about to be in a full scale nuclear war. Even if that wasnt the case women dont want familes marriage has become meaningless and society doesnt care. So why shpuld i sacrifice my body and work my ass off for essentially nothing in the long run and dont say mo ey thats not garanteed at all especially since its not backed up by gold and when the debt bubble collapes it will be worse then the german mark in the 1920s.

I couldn't agree more !

yes brother skill trades all the way

It's not just hard work and hands getting dirty. Idk about other trades, but skilled trades like machining and tool making is as difficult to learn as becoming doctors, lawyers, software engineering, etc ... It takes 3-5 years minimum of apprenticeship to just become someone who is barely able to contribute without assistance or guidance. And on average, you'll be making 25-30 an hour with that amount of experience. The problem is why would kids wanna do this difficult kind of work when the pay is 3x-10x lower than mentioned careers? Don't look down on the trades, most white collar office jobs that I've observed at my company are filled with idiots who would not be able to handle the sheer amount of learning required to be a good machinist or tool maker. Yet, they get paid more.

Nobody's in the trades because nobody wants to pay 😂 Pay someone enough you would ve shocked what they would do for money

Mark knows more about welding than anyone I've ever met.

Personally, my situation has been great, but I realize it’s not everybody’s. I started as a service tech apprentice at 20 with no experience, basic bills, single and no kids and live with my parents who I have great relationship with, and a father who has 20+ years of HVAC service tech experience who I could and can rely on ever since I started this trade. He eventually became a comfort advisor/PM and made a killing doing HVAC sales. Does bathroom remodeling sales now. The company I applied for paid great wage for no experience (19 an hour) where most will pay 12-15 starting with no experience. Had pay increases throughout the year, paid for your certs and everything and taught you sales as that’s where the real money is. I love the trade and don’t regret it at all and know I’ll be well off in 4-5 years. I could have easily gotten a desk or office job making way more at the start but it’s just not for me. You can say whatever about the trades’ pay and labor (which to me isn’t even that bad) but some people just prefer to work with their hands. I’d always recommend HVAC. For somebody who’s young, single and with no kids. People who aren’t that will have more of a fuss about the pay when they have people depending on them. You have to keep finding companies that have great people and training. They ARE out there. Trade school is useless because there’s no on the job training. You wanna start building on the job training the moment you touch a trade. When you graduate you’re still considered having no real experience. Get on as an apprentice somewhere.

Just wondering what the exact pro active plan is...

They don’t pay enough to support a family especially when you have illegal and legal mass immigration willing to work for shit because they are coming from low quality of life so anything here is better than whatever they had.

Absolutely, Go Union!!!!

Im 26 and a Union forman local 2006 💪🏼

As long as they've got us bitching about minimum wage workers making almost as much as tradesmen instead of asking why we aren't paid more well never get anywhere

I make $70,000 to work from home 40 hrs a week, pto, vaca, good benifits, and I get to do while watching my 5, 3, and 1 year old grow up with a GED not even a high school diploma. What trades person can say this? 0. I would work trades if the pay was better and it was a straight 40 hrs, but to many times have are family friends said they envy me cause not only is my relationship great with my family, but I’m also providing.

Mark Fisher's insights into welding's role in minimizing downtime are crucial for understanding its impact on efficiency and financial outcomes in manufacturing. His expertise underscores the essential link between skillful execution and operational success.

sir i want to do apprenticeship but will you give me

I want to get into the trades but most employers pay minimum wage for tough work with no benefits and the foreman were bullied in high school and they take it out on you Union jobs is were it’s at; however, it’s super competitive

they can stay out of the trades, just makes me more valueable

The younger generation is going to ask AI 😮😮😮

Preach, brother

Expecting a reasonable paycheck isn't instant gratification.

Maybe skilled trades people are looked down on because they are the ones who make animals go extinct

The skilled trades are not a dying industry there is a labor shortage the pay is good most are making $40 to 60 plus per hour

Tell the truth on pay as well. Non union jobs are paying the same wage as if you were to work in fast food. In the trade I’m in I make 45 as a union and if I was working for non union I be making $20. I have to bring all my tools as well.

Welder in japan ❤and my dreams to work in amaerica

They want to play video games at work and make game art and websites

No unions, no stability, no respect, no air conditioning, no thank you.

I took a paycut and just started a new career in the tile trade last year... One year later I'm basically still a laborer that does all the shit journeyman don't want to do and have been laid off a quarter of the year. The only positive of the job is that I've lost 40lbs. Not to mention I'm one of two people that made it through the first year of classes. Everybody else quit or was kicked out due to poor attendance.. can't make this stuff up lmao.

Glad it is a dying industry cause we get to charge $90+ an hour for light work and make 500 a day in our sleep cause demand outweighs supply

Saying that there is 366% increase means nothing. What are the numbers? If there was 1 woman in construction and now there are 10 new women, that is 1000% increase, while it's still 1000:1 in whole industry

As a tradesman myself, I can agree. There are a lot more people that go to college and rack up a ton of unnecessary debt and then graduate with a useless degree and can't find work in that arena. Many of the trade jobs don't even need a trade school to learn, you simply learn as you earn. Not to mention there are a ton of tradesmen that open their own business and are killing it.

What this individual is talking about is the pay and demand for trades, which is true. However, he doesn't speak about the negatives about trades. It can be extremely dangerous, your body will slowly break down by 40s and you'll have to eat out of your truck, go to the washroom at a port a pottie, and be lonely at times. Many trades people are just dealing with bullshit. Many open their own company or retire early. This guy is sugar coating skilled trades, which is simply not true. Life is about a lifestyle, not a dirty job.

Partially true, but also without work experience, you can't even think about registering for licenses. But then to get work or experience, you need a license 😅 so basically if your family isn't in the trade or union good luck 😅

If you have to go to trade school to become a painter, You are doing something wrong ..😂

what’s the comparison on work conditions tho? physical labor is a big toll on your body long term

College is an experience. An expensive one, but still a great experience. Although the options you gave are also good. Go to college if you can!

Lmao these old heads in here love to talk shit but cant take the same shit they dish out.

well tell the companies to actually pay decent wages, and people wouldn’t be getting out of the trade

You should be sleeping 7-8 hours a day. Work can take more than 10 hours depending on your job. And if you go to the gym, cut another 2 hours off. Showing and other hygiene, let’s say 45 minutes all in. Preparing and eating food takes hours. Bathroom trips. Oh and you don’t teleport everywhere, commuting. And we’re not perfect, we waste time naturally by not being super efficient. We lose something and now we gotta go find it. Or we check something on our phone. Or we get distracted. Yeah you don’t have 8 hours to get shit done, you have 8 minutes. Shit only gets done on the weekends

Of all the trades. Hvac is the one who would have the best luck at figuring out any of the other problems.

When I worked as a Machinist I was paid $13 an hour after a $2 raise after busting ass, I was given blueprints and material that was it. I programmed setup and chose the tools. Mean while mcdonalds paying $15 an hour. Did I mention the min. 50 hr work week. "No one wants to work. Why is no joining the trades."

Ik leaving the trades because of my dickhead Forman who’s literally stupid and plus I’m sick of tired of being assigned a ton of work and being expected to work my life away with no free time, fuck that

Yes true fresh air

And we’re in the usa so it’s still the dollar

Yes a dying industry for sure

We need more movies about plumbers other than Mario to make kids wanna do it. Lol

Blue collared workers need decent pay (for the amount of overtime they have poor pay), should also work 8 hours a day like white collars (they ALWAYS do overtime), have free weekends and time for their family (rare af) and be treated as humans. We also must acknowledge that they are sacrificing their health and bodies, so two times a week an hour of free physical therapy (maybe first hour of work time) to lower the impact on body and regular check ups should be mandatory. These are essential skills that keep the society running and should be treated as such.

Plumbers, hvac techs and electricians will phuq that ass hard....i had to learn all of those trades or be at the mercy of those ass clowns
