Electrician breh shows paycheck. Says 9 to 5 aint as bad as rappers make it to be

[Raw Lyrics]

My friend is an electrician. I've seen a lot of his work, and it looks great (to my novice eyes). He did all the work in his home.

However, he says the money isn't as great as people think, at least not for him. He lives in Orlando and he said there's a lot of undercutting on prices, so it's hard to get the money he really wants to get. He's a homeowner, takes trips regularly, so I'm assuming he does okay, but he's says the field is crowded where he lives.

Trades are a lane young Black people can take control of. These white dudes are retiring and dying en masse. Let's see what happens.

BFB Da Packman was a mail carrier while he was doing shows, I think he left now but he spoke about rappers not having a pension, health insurance, and how he had 401k contributions, it was like a double hustle, using the day job money to make more money while you go on tour.

My dude really lived up to his name

I know a breh in HVAC he works for a company and then in his spare time he will do his own thing through Facebook marketplace, TaskRabbit and make bank.

I found a dude on Thumbtack that did that with welding. He worked for a company but would do side jobs for extra cash out of his garage. I paid him like $100 to fix a transmission pan and I know that shyt probably took him 10 minutes max, he probably cleaning up.

Trade school as an entry point is so wide open for actual HUNGRY dudes its not even funny.

Trade school as an entry point is so wide open for actual HUNGRY dudes its not even funny.

Let's see how hungry we really are because I have a cousin who is an electrician (a woman at that) and she lives and TN has to turn away business because her office is booked out for the rest of the summer.

I went to school for HVAC and got a job doing residential but wasn’t making big bank like that. Sucks during the slow season too. I’d need to brush up on my skills if I went that route again

My cousin out west tells me there’s big money if I did decide to do it. Wouldn’t mind having my own business.

This is one of the reasons they are shutting down Job Corps. Don’t EVER get it twisted

States still have free training at One Stop centers located in every city.

 

[The BasedFather]

For all the guys asking if it’s too late…do it!

When I went to trade school we had older brehs in it. When I was in the fire academy we had dudes 40+ make it through.

Never too late

I’m 32 and in the IT sector but I am gonna learn a blue collar trade skill just as a backup plan for this AI uprising

 

[maxamusa]

trade brehs stay winning

HHAAAAAAAAN

 

[maxamusa]

Trades are good but engineering is better and easier.

how you figure?

 

[maxamusa]

Is it too late to get a trade? I’m 31 I see this is targeting young brehs

No its not 2 late. But you need to come in humble and ready to play your position as the lowest on the totem pole



gotta pay those dues doggie

 

[Womb Raider]

shyt I’m an RN and even I’m thinking about learning a trade

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

WE need to start living in reality, and stop letting rappers impact real life
