Seen an article stating there is a drastic shortage of aircraft mechanic. My buddy works for United making $60 an hour and said he gets unlimited overtime. He makes drastically more then his wife who has a PH.D in Occupational therapy

Best kept secret
Some of these blue collar jobs pay way more than the white collar jobs.
It's just not "sexy" being a aircraft mechanic compared to a software engineer

I wish I learned trade when I was younger breh. It could’ve been a great hobby/side hustle.

My old man is a heavy wheel/industrial mechanic and after working on cars with him getting cursed out while holding up drive shafts, I said I’d never go into the trade shyt.

I'm in the military. I get out in a few months

Bruh you selling yourself short. You mentioned IT these tech companies want you there have a fukk ton of veteran programs looking for people like you.

Don’t know what you did in the military but defense, consulting & SaaS are good options especially if you have security clearance.

I hooked up with a veteran program that said they could hook me up an internship, but you have to have at least CompTia A+.

That goes to show how stacked getting an entry level position is nowadays.

A few years ago you could just walk off the street and get an entry level position

True, it’s hella competitive. You got a undergrad degree?
