Trade jobs

Quit my job and took the trade pill and got my apprenticeship yesterday. Why are people on this board struggling to find jobs?

I have greater ambitions.

Such as?

I have a shitty 6-figure office job that I hate. I would love to take the trade pill if it paid the same. What are you raking?

>Doing the trades
No thanks, I like my back.

I'm going to school for poetry and screenwriting, moving to la next year. Stay mad in your garbage flyover state. You'll see my name in the credits in the theater in a few years.

i have a 6 figure trade job
half working from home half travel
been across this country and to europe and asia
corporate expense account and a fucking awesome 401k
life is good

Starting at 15/hr as a year 1 apprentice and it goes up from there. People here say they make 70k+

>sawzall blades but no sawzall??

>Why are people on this board struggling to find jobs?
Because of newfags and cucks that still haven't swallowed the NEETpill.

to join the navy?

No I wont. I don't watch pedowood shit anymore.

Lol did you have to buy all those tools yourself?

>Milwaukee Cordless tools

You are a man of fine and exacting tastes

t. diy landlord

Checked.

What trade? IMO code welder is the way to go. Sure you have to travel and work long days sometimes but you can make bank, get plenty of time off and no one will bother you while you are working.

Sorry m8

For the past 9 years there hasn't been much demand for construction. Pipe Fitting and Welders are always needed but others were a surplus. Maybe you aren't old enough to know.

Do you need any previous skills to get an apprenticeship?

Based on the tools I see, is this an electrician apprenticeship?

>everything is brand new
do you know how to use those things?

do you know what an apprenticeship is?

Overnight electrician. Nice tools.

>Milwaukee power tools
>Husky gear bag
>non-Fluke multimeters
>Stanley hand tools

So you're apprenticing to learn to do hair and nails? Is the lisp in your voice mandatory?

everyone on pol thinks they are going to be a millionaire.
thats why they are delusional conservashits.

Nope. The catch for apprenticeships is that you work what they tell you to, for 4-5 years, but it’s al paid for at a pretty good rate depending on trade.

>that wire management

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Klein hand tools.

Electrician. Watched my dad do it when I was young and was interested. Ended up helping my friend put in a new outlet and run romex through his house and knew I wanted to do it for a living. Quit my job a month later and now I'm here.

But what is your trade? A handyman? I don't see any real trade oriented tools.
All I see is a handyman's 5 gallon bucket full of tools.

Tile setter here, make over 100k every year

Where are the knockouts?

Yes sir.

Troubleshooting other people's rat nests

>I don't see any real trade oriented tools.
Look at the stuff with wires.

Upper left top and middle right

Just got the apprenticeship yesterday and wasn't going to bring my harbor freight shit in monday.

Lmao you actually took the time to arrange your tools for a nice little picture.

>born into your parent's business
>work for your family
You lucked out and have no place to call anyone entitled.

Are you the same user who has a fetish for tile patterns

You know you are missing some power tools for the parts you have? The redundant tools you purchased? The missing hand tools from what ever you set have? Are you really larping on pol about this or were you scammed into buying too much and yet too much at the same time? That is really special.

Multi meter? Wow, I have one of those.

>Stanley
Wrong

Negative...lol, but I have witnessed that thread many times.

Good trade user. I did that to pay for night school to get engineering degree. IMO, troubleshooting is more valuable than being able to run straight pipe. Keep reading the theory. If you can quickly solve a problem and fix it you will be treated like a king.

No idea, I run my own auto-paintshop.

I have a thermal imaging device. Only difference is I bought it for SHTF.

My bad. Also, checked.

I did it to make sure I had everything they wanted me to have. Checklist is folded up next to the hammer.

Underrated accessory

Jesus, they still sell those ancient contactors?

>Fat losers jelly of someone actually doing something good and productive
Good on you, OP. Nothing purer in this world than a decent White tradesman.

Yup. The failure rate is pretty high as I'm sure you know.

this
i laugh when i see somebody with black and decker

None of the tools are bad. They won't impress anyone on the job site, but they'll last a few years.

Agreed...nothing better than seeing a young man with ambition.
But shit talking to the rookies is part of the trades.
Kid will get thick skin, or quit.

Only thing that stopped me from buying a Dewalt set is them being owned by black and decker. I hate Black and Decker tools. The Dewalt bits I've used over the years have been good though.

How do i learn a trade?

If they do the job for him, who cares? Oh, you gotta buy a Fluke multimeter, huurr durr, because muh Fluke, it's so safe (Reality it isn't if you're stupid).

Mama mía

>08WNloQg
I've had my DeWalt 18v SEP drills for 5 years.
The batteries are worn out, but the tools themselves are good.
I have the 20v brushless now, and they have been good enough so far

Apply for an apprenticeship or go to a vocational school with the trade that you want to learn.

Why the fuck did it green text?

I did appliance repair for a while, and I had a very cheap multimeter when I started and it broke after a few days. I bought a highly rated Chinese meter off amazon and it worked well. I've since bought a Fluke just because, but the Chinese meter still works.

Fluke makes some really good meters. IMO they are top shelf.

>trade job
>like a king.

Uhhhh..... Let's get something straight.

Don't know how it is in yiropostan, but in murica we have workers unions that run apprenticeship programs

Shut up kike, only Jew would tell people to stop being productive

reciprocating saw not sawzall, you dumb nigger.

Im a boilermaker by trade but have wanted to do something on the engineering side of things. Would it be worth it to get an engineering degree in your mid 30s or is this too late and are there bias against hiring older engineers later on?

Jordan Peterson recently said right now parents should send their kids to trade school.

He said it on the Joe Rogan podcast.

Go to 1:13

I just applied for an apprenticeship and they are paying for the school.

Parents should aspire to send their kids to college for a BSc.

how do you "get an apprenticeship?"

You know you say that but to be frank most people have no idea how electrical things work. Being able to go from 'the turbine tripped' to 'here is how to restart it' is incredibly valuable. Its not the same as running pipe on a construction site and in my opinion a very valuable skill that isn't on your chart.

That is something a member of low-caste would say. Heh.

Trade jobs are great in your early 20s. Once you hit 30 you need to have your own company and a fresh supply of new bodies to do the work for your.

Hopefully you have a mind for business. You are going to need it.

Getting back into the white collar world is very difficult and you'll have to start from the bottom again if you change your mind.

hello buddy

Have to apply at a union hall usually. They will generally tell you the requirements. Its not as simple as some make it seem. Depends on the trade. As a welder there is frequent skills testing that even the best welders can have trouble with if the wind catches something wrong.

Is mechanic a good trade? Like in a dealership? I enjoy wrenching but everyone always says never do cars as a job if it's already a hobby because you'll never want to touch your own car

>only Jew would tell people to stop being productive
Please explain how that makes any sense, user.
If there's one thing they want then it's white men continuing to slave away for a system that seeks their eradication.

I still have an Extech my dad gave me ages ago. It's probably 15 years old. Works great.

Your obviously a shill kike.
Once this young man gets his license, he won't need to rely on a pimp/slavemaster for money.
He can have his own business, and we'll, everyone knows that eke truck and are like lawyers. They charge what they want.

New Milwaukee shit is literally re colored ryobi, dewalt is the only working man's tool.

>Why are people on this board struggling to find jobs?
none of them actually want a job

lol at tools that have never been used

If you're planning on doing lots of wiring, get a Klein Katapult stripper. You'll thank me later electricalbro.

Never too late but boiler maker is a good trade. Maybe get a mechanical engineering degree and settle down as a plant engineer. No more travel and you can get to know one facility and how to care for it. Probably not much more pay but quality of life gets better.

>Sitting at a desk not working your back mussels.
kys

This. If they can coast through life on NEETbux and maybe make money on the side without leaving their computer chair they will take that option every time.

get a Fluke mulimeter throw the one in the pic into the Trash.
Also, IBEW for the WIN!

this has got to be bait

>buying milfuckee
In all honesty though, have fun. I enjoyed my 7 year stint in the trades. Now I'm enjoying my time pushing paper and ruining homeless people and junkies days when I do field work.

I meant to say electrician's are like lawyer's

>never do cars as a job if it's already a hobby because you'll never want to touch your own car

this is truth

Dewalt was the shit b4 B&D bought them. Porter Cable is nice for the tile trade though

You faggot nigger.

ALSO get a metric set of Allen wrenches

Ugh. What a discombobulated word salad you illiterate mongrel.
You are a scourge to my enlivened NEET existence. Begone!

hahaha you'll be hooked on heroine doing gay porn within 6 months

I tried the trades once and it didn't work, I'm too much of a soyboy for it, and also too dumb for higher education. NEET until I die at 30.
