What are the trade fields like for the following:
Welding
Masonry
CDL
Barbering
Bartending
HVAC
Electrician
Plumbing
Carpenter
Landscaping
What are their schools like? Are any of you brehs in any of these trades? If so, how do you like them? What’s the pay like? Is training efficient? How are y’all clients typically?
I’m asking because I’m interested in picking up a trade or two myself. I’m very interested in welding, barbering, and bartending (my late Grandma used to bartend and she always made a lot of bank) but I would love to know more about all of them.
I'm about to graduate from my HBCU as a major in History and my old summer internship job (I was an Administrative Assistant) is interested in having me back. I loved it there and don’t mind office work at all but I definitely would love to a side hustle or two to eat really good off of and be ready to feed my future family when the time comes.
Any suggestions and insight would be greatly appreciated.

Plumbing... People will always piss and sh1t.

I honestly don’t know shyt about most of those
As a side hustle, bartending you can never go wrong. The class is short and you’ll learn a lot, just depends on where you work on whether or not you’ll like it or bank. My brothers a bartender and my grandma said I should’ve done it as a hustle as well
From what I hear plumbers make REALLY good money if you don’t mind the work but im sure its full time and I personally get disgusted in bathrooms
Electricians make good money too and are needed in all aspects kinda like IT.
Barbering idk... depends on how good you are at drawing, hustling for clients, etc. I honestly don’t know how barbers make bread but they do. For about 30 minutes you could make 30-40 bucks if you nice. But most barbers I know have a lot of slow days, have to pay for renting out chairs, always got some side hustles, etc. a really good side job if you was on a campus or in military though.
CDL is cool but just from coli brehs on here it might be different just starting. Long hours, long drives, have to get tested driving a rig, etc. i have a homie that actually tests other CDL drivers instead of driving. He works a regular 8 hours a day and usually just sits in the passenger seat watching movies while the person drives to a 4 hour destination and back. He gets paid for that and is at home every night/weekends. That's not normal, usually it’s long hours/days away from home but they make decent pay.
Landscaping is cool but usually you don’t see real bank until you own your own Landscaping company, invested in the equipment, and got your own client base. And its tough work if you doing it by yourself with no riding equipment. My dad does it part time and I used to help but it wasn’t worth it for me. He hires people but they come and go. You don’t need any cert or license for that though.
HVAC I don’t know much about. Had friends that did it but thats it
Carpentry I’m not sure on. I have a co-worker thats a carpenter part time and he designs retirement gifts for military members in his spare time and gets paid pretty good for it. He also teaches a carpentry class and gets like $100 a month per student which is GREAT money honestly as a side hustle.
Thats all i know from my experience. I hear welding is good money just don’t know many people who have done it. I just know you got to protect your eyes
