Most younger cats too soft and stupid ( can’t stop smokin ) to do the work :manny:

I tried puttin dudes on, my trade is about to be in a vacuum because all of these baby boomers less than 5 years from retirement. Apprentices make more than fukkin engineers in my field with pensions and 401ks paid for, cell phones, work trucks, gas cards etc...

But nikkas want to pay a college to learn and do bytch work while sittin behind a desk lookin a computer screen :mjlol:You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make em drink.

These Mexicans and white boys ain’t passin it up tho so next time Billy or Juan doin work for you and you get that bill charged at 135$ a work hour plus materials you know what it is already :manny:

A lot of blatant stupidity and outright buffoonery in this thread :picard:

First off the article mentions “Skilled Trades” which most of you morons are conflating with labor / union jobs and these aren’t mutually inclusive. One you have to test in, go to school year round and train under journeyman for years to learn and the others you don’t.

Second, you clowns really need to stop spreading this misinformation about automation taking over this and that because you have absolutely no clue about what you’re speaking on and it’s painfully obvious. shyt is dangerous. You could potentially be talking people out of doing something that could be beneficial to em all because you want to parrot some dumbass rhetoric you heard somewhere about some field that’s completely unrelated.

Third, skilled trades aren’t really that labor intensive or bad for the body/health if you put your body first and not doing dumb shyt ( payin attention to lifting techniques, using the proper tools, knowin what you’re doin, following safety shyt, etc...) but you are working in the elements year round. There’s a lot of programming and computer jobs available also because a lot of this shyt is ran by computer systems and energy management software but you have to know how to do the field work and be out in the field as well as a “controls” guy

For the higher payin skilled trades you have to know your shyt, be a problem solver / able to fix shyt or offer solutions, be good with your hands and be good with people because they only see you and a high ass bill. Every day and every job is different, everybody likes things their own way and every manufacturer, home and commercial business does things different while having unique issues that need to be resolved.

Thread shows why nikkas are losin because a lot of you cats too stupid and feminine minded when it comes to just not saying anything about topics you’re ignorant on and admiting you’re intimidated by the shyt.

My Dad was a carpenter. He loves it. Owned his own business ect. But....

Most people aren't built for that kind of work.

Post like these are the ones that helped me pick up that phone and made that call.

Post like these are the ones that helped me get into a trade school.

:salute:
