Construction jobs
U could start as an apprentice making $15 an hour
And within a few years be at $25
And u could be in a union and get benefits
U get raises every 6 months
I know a few heads who make $100k

My cousin in TX do that shyt. I'm pretty lazy tho

yea this.

they list apprenticeship openings every month or so on state department of labor websites. they arent easy to get but if u apply to enough of them u can lucky and end up with one. i know a few dudes from around the way who are eating good right now. a high rise union window cleaner, a bridge painter, a carpenter, and a bricklayer. all of them got those jobs within 5 years of one another and all of them are making more than $25 right now. especially with all the construction going on in NY right now. dudes are eating good.

Ironically, get certified as a project manager doesn't require a degree but you're going to be competing against dudes with them, though. That's just for the CAPM credential. The PMP distinction requires a degree and 5 years experience but without it like 10 years.

I work for a specialty company that contracts out to refineries and nuclear plants. As an apprentice my first year I made 40k, 2nd and 3rd 57-65k, and this year hopefully 80k. Lotta travel and good OT that u don't actually have to work.
