What about learning a trade, brehs?

[Existential]

I'm thinking of going in HVAC, because people will always need to repair heating and air conditioning units, right? They say after a few years of working you can get a van, slap a sign on it, and not have to work for people again. It sounds appealing, any coli brehs have experience in any trades?

Always been a fan of trades. There's an inherent satisfaction of blue collar work that you don't really see with white collar stuff. I know that HVAC, plumbing, etc. workers can do very well for themselves, especially if they work to obtain their master licenses and all that.

While I'll say that starting your own business is a HELL of a lot more than buy a van and and put a company logo on it, but yes, it's very feasible.

Do it Breh if you dedicate yourself to something you can be a success. Just make sure it's something that will hold your interest for the long haul otherwise you're out the time, energy, and money you put in

totally invaluable and more usefull tha a BA cert

albeit you'll end up fat and ugly like most ppl who work with their hands

From all the guys I've talked, just join the union right away and do the apprenticeship, rather than going to trade school.


Guys are making a lot of money, but the trade off is work isnt as consistent.
