Hate is Rising, Love is Dying....
Why did you tag me?
Why did you tag me?
Did it ever take off?Been thinking bout hitting that HVAC lick lately, but first imma get this shopify T-shirt shop off the ground
Going forward, im trying a multiple revenue stream approach.
Been a certified electrician for a while now ...and I![]()
I did the math on the shipping and the numbers were bad. Would have to do the screen printing myself or the margins would be terrible for my desired price point. Still got my template and logos ready for when I get a space. It's getting more more obvious that to make real money, gotta avoid the middleman and keep as much of the process in-house as possible.Did it ever take off?
I need serious advice brehs
I'm at a cross roads in life
Do I go to Uni/College and get a STEM degree (If I do I have to upgrade I was lazy as fukk in HS)
Or do I pursue an apprenticeship most likely Electrician or Millwright. I know Millwrights translate well into the engineering sector. I'm already doing some work related to this and it's both physically and mentally taxing.
I see some of these guys and realize I don't want to work like this for the rest of my life.
I work with Power Engineers, Electricians, Mechanics, Millwrights, Welders, Plumbers. So I ask for advice all the time, but the advice always varies: go to school, pursue trade, no go to school, etc...
But I make 22/hr, which I feel is good for a 19 yr old. I live at home too.
But at the same time I feel so stupid for not being in college like the rest of my peers, embarrassed even.
People always telling (not asking) me : Why ain't you in school breh?
I've always envisioned myself as that clean cut black man in a suit.
Not wearing a hard hat, safety glasses and turning wrenches.
I see the power engineers in the boiler room and they tell me they do fukk all but monitor the systems and occasionally adjust things, If something goes wrong they call on of us.
If I pursue an apprenticeship I have to go to school anyways. Won't be nearly as expensive as getting a degree, in total the 4 years will cost a couple thou really.
I feel conflicted, angry and other myriad of emotions.
I need help brehs![]()
I seriously love my job
Im telling you, get the apprenticeship. Its free. At least it was for me and everyone in the union. Unless you count union dues.I need serious advice brehs
