Crazy how Barbers and other Blue Collar jobs are making more than the 6 cert IT Gang nowadays.

Yes. I’ll co-sign the OP.

I’m an IT professional [low 6-figures], My homie is a Barber; He’s make more than I do barring incentives. The incentive I have may out-weigh his income; i.e. TSP [401k] matching, Health Care, Paid Leave, etc.

I’m proud of him. He’s striving in his lane.

If you own a popular barbershop, maybe.

Otherwise, no. Especially if you're paying for health care/dental/vision/401k out of pocket.

By that time they will be locked out and won't have access. They completely close those data centers from the outside world when they are finished. I delivered to a construction site for 1 back in the day.
there is no “close access”

no hvac techs = ur data centers fails within a 2 month period :russ:

Breh they know "who" worked on it. They will send the legal team after you and then go get another HVAC tech.
brotha if there is a movement to suddenly fukk over data centers, by the time they figure out who did it, those data center units are destroyed

certain rooms cant go above a certain temp or they equipment inside of it is destroyed


which is why im telling you, hvac techs/ electricians can topple a data centers by themselves

Homie living in a video game or movie :pachaha:

My main point is that all these rich people are seriously impressing upon the masses that they want them doing trades or working assembly lines for their entire life. And their entire lineage as well.

Thats not what the older generations who did that backbrraking labor wanted at all.

Im not saying trades/blue collar is not good. Im saying its highly suspicious who the messaging is coming from.

With them controlling the money it's just another rigged game. The first thing is to fight their control from the jump.

They are basically turning this into one of those old cotton gins where the company gives the workers scrip money they have to use at the company store. They control how much you make, they control how much you pay, they control your life and you are a slave. Because they will own everything.

Provide HR support to an organization, oversee 5 different Unions, 2 of em got staff across the board making around $110k base with plenty of OT opportunities, including double pay and night differentials based on their CBA.

Schedules can be rough and definitely lots of injuries on the job, but if you can overcome the risk they're doing damn well for most having a GED and 2-3 years experience and the right licenses. 25 year olds can live at home, be on their parents health insurance and stack in plenty of situations.

Definitely keeping that in mind for both my kids when that time comes for them. My parents were all about the office/government job and higher ed, but it pays the bills and then some. No shame in it.

There are very few barbers making 6 figures :mjlol: .....it's like saying every OF model is making 6 figures. There's plenty more barbers who are broke as fukk than there are making 6 figures. It's extremely difficult to make that type of bread in any trade. Especially with the amount of competition out there. It takes years and years of grinding and self promotion to get to that level. Unless you just have serious connects or catch a huge break somewhere. It's not about education vs trade, it's about self ambition. The cream will always rise to the top. Whether in a trade or the professional field.
