For anyone who may need advice on how to get into trades I am an electrician.

@cheek100 is a plumber.
@Luck Is an HVAC tech.

Holla at us if you have any questions.

Bruh let’s be real most of these cats ain’t built for this league. Maybe a handful but I’m not betting the church money on it.

Yes good information that YOU have to follow up on. I’m assuming most everyone here is out of highschool so as an adult, I no longer use what highschool didn’t provide as an excuse to what I don’t know now. Especially when you can research almost any damn thing.

If you want to make a good living for yourself, I feel there are various ways with both college and/or trades, however you have to do some work. First research to narrow down a path, then a plan to tackle the path. It’s not overnight for any avenue.

Only a couple dudes really talked about what trades really is, others are just waxing poetic about why trades is good
If that’s good information then it shouldn’t be surprising why more people ain’t in trades

How do you get into a good apprenticeship?

 

[RageKage]

Isn't this one of the more brutal trades?

Brutal is relative, I know I am not cut out for it. I always associate it with working outdoors, elevated and with your hands and that's not my speed but there are a lot of guys who get off on that and I suspect pay is very good (it should be for that important work)

 

[Balla]

When are you too old to start a trade? I actually seen some apprenticeship shyt saying mid 20s was the oldest you could be.

Another hidden gem is elevator and escalator mechanics.

I personally aint built for it. Mentally that is. But if ppl knew how much these dudes who are half ass decent at carpentry, electrical, hvac shyt bank, they wouldnt even look at college.

Its may be strenous for a couple yrs. Cold winters and hot summers but after you get your experience you start supervising or start your own llc, its easy living. All you have to do is train

And i say this because i do business and personal taxes for these dudes and they cake. And dont have to pay back at all. We write all that shyt off and equipment depreciates.

If I had the patience I’d def be a mechanic. Imagine having your 9-5 and in your spare time you doing lil jobs in your driveway

Plus when bytches hear you’re mechanic their fukking eyes light up like a shooting star

No lie, this is my mechanic. My family pays a fraction of what we should be paying because we can just leave our cars @ our mechanic’s house. I STG I pull up to this man’s neighborhood and see like 4 of my uncle’s/aunt’s/cousins’ old cars on the street

But he has so much space he has that street to himself so it doesn’t matter.

Man will just pick up and go traveling for a month without a thought. Lol He’s been raking it in forever.
