If you got a job offer for a Blue Collar skilled trade position, TAKE IT

[Gritsngravy]

I’m sure you could make a lot of money in trades but honestly I’d rather do some cooler shyt for living

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Yeah because you're not in a trade and you were shytting on college ..you weren't the messenger lol

Don't bother he's an idiot who always talks about things he has no experience with. I don't know why these threads and college threads always turn into trades vs office work. Not everyone is meant to work in an office just like not everyone is meant to work in a trade. Don't yall get tired of arguing about this over and over again?

I did not shyt on college. Y'all assuming things and lack comprehension skills real bad. Like real bad. Did y'all do any reading in your childhood and teens?

Well apparently you lack the very basics, a lot of posters on these forums lack reading comprehension and make bad assumptions. I'll have to watch what I see from here on out. For example: If I make a college vs. trade thread, I'll say "College ain't a bad route and is good for a lot of people, but brehs should also look into trades."

That way I don't have crazy posters coming in with terrible comprehension.

It seriously depends on what you’re doing physically. It can be hell on the body, my dad worked blue collar before retiring at 55 and has all kinds of ailments-did manual labor (maintenance in housing projects) for 25 years, his knees and back are shot.

Yeah, you need to work on career progression and try to get to a project manager/foreman/general contractor role by mid 30s. The hard work should be for the young dudes.

And you lack the ability to be the messenger about the trades because you don't work in them...comprehension

Here's old posts of mine saying good things about college. I never shyt on college, y'all just keep misinterpreting my posts.

Find the nearest community college near you, get a 2 year degree then transfer. File for the Pell Grant to see if you qualify and fill out scholarships

Because college gives you the doorway to the most comfortable life. There's nothing wrong with college. With the internet being so accessible, there's plenty reason to choose a great career path..


College really isn't the main problem, it's really the car loan, cc debt, electronics, and too big a house.

And you lack the ability to be the messenger about the trades because you don't work in them...comprehension

Considering I work in the Construction field, considering I was a Jr. Superintendent and talk with tradesman every day and owners, yes I know what I'm talking about. I know electricians and plumbers that need help right now.

Just call it quits breh, you know you lost, you just dragging it out at this point.

You were a secretary for tradesman...OK

 

[TheMailMan]

Got a degree in logistics management and a CDL just to cover all bases. (thanks post 9-11 GI bill) currently driving but if I can find another overseas contractor job I'm jumping on it.

You got it chief.

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Everybody screaming career progression
Some people like where they are in life and don’t want all the responsibilities that come with upper management
Some people like working for themselves making a modest income
Some people like to fly under the radar, make their bread and gohome
A lot of you have such a narrow view of people and the world
Not everybody trying to be a boss or work around a bunch of nonblacks everyday that make your life hell in a funky office
Now it’s true a blue collar breh can face the same discrimination but most of those brehs go on to build something for themselves while most of you nikkas still answering to some Habib, Asian or Cracka pushing you to get that coding project done faster
Like I’ve said before and I will say it again
You can’t build a community with a bunch of desk workers, pushing buttons
You need skilled workers to build infrastructure
Mechanics
Maintenance
White folks got nikkas hating the very jobs that put you in the positions you are in today by your parents
Y’all opinions on subjects like this are skewed as fukk and definitely lack depth/nuance
THE COLI DOT COM

 

[Solomon Lurke]

Coulda fooled me... ive taken time off (which I gotta ask for), worked early, taken long ass lunches, etc. all to accommodate for job interviews for fukk all to show for it.

This. I literally just told my wife the other day. I damn near need to be unemployed in order to get a job now. Honestly this may end up happening. I’m very close to just resigning and doing my side business full time until I find the right position. That or just get lower end part time job that’s not too mentally draining.

 

[Forsaken]

Doing both is .

Renovating a property is .

Americans live to prove they better than the next man over the pettiest bullshyt.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Already got my CS degree back in 2019 so it’s a matter of just doing projects and seeing if someone will take a chance on me.

Really wish I would have stuck with the grind back in 2019 but I couldn’t find shyt and needed the money badly so I had to go the field technician route.

dammm bro nah should have took your chances, my engineering professor told me if you ever get a technician job start working the minute you get hired to find a real engineering gig
