Was a laborer and carpenter’s apprentice for the past 5 years. Quit working for someone else and started my own company, acquired my contractor’s license. Went from making $15 an hour to charging $90 an hour plus materials. The moneys out there if you’re willing to earn it.

[@ArmwrestlingJoe]

I’m curious how old you were when you started with someone else and how difficult was it to acquire a contractor license

[@o1r4i1o0n]

The trades are a good place to start, but its true you need to look out for yourself. Some companies just want to chew you up and spit you out and demand another even though the number of skilled tradesmen are in severe decline. I left my last company because I was running into too many foreman that just wanted to break my back as fast as they could to save the company a few bucks. I really need to get my journeyman's license now that I'm with a reliable company with at least decent health insurance that's not a scam.

[@CreechLinux]

Trades pay is geographically dependent. Break your back in the south doing the same work as these guys do in Rhode Island for nowhere near the money

[@wodensol5000]

True, but bare in mind cost of living in Rhode island will be far higher than the south. So it can be proportional. With that being said, it depends. I'm from the UK, I used to live in the south east. They more or less pay the same as the rest of the country - regardless of job - yet houses are literally double the price.

[@seventheleven]

I think the game is try to save what you can in the high cost area and then move when you are changing professions or retiring

[@johnfisher8401]

I manage trades for a living here in Florida. Most trades are broke as heck. They dont get paid as much as everyone says, its actually sad what most of them make.

[@dsprocks]

​@@johnfisher8401Yeah they just pretend to be high rollers by buying those big stupid trucks that they never use to actually haul or tow anything because they are so obsessed with vehicles as a status symbol especially the blacked out lifted big wheel trucks it's so pathetic these grown children and their toy trucks decked out in chrome, such a loser move and we have those losers all over the country I see it here in Illinois everyday so many people driving trucks yet none of them have anything in the bed or in tow they're just driving themselves to the grocery store and such. I know tradesmen include sheet metal workers and the smart ones drive minivans, it fits all their tools and thieves aren't looking for minivans to steal from they're looking to steal tools from work vans and trucks so they don't even bother with minivans it's a smart move.

Ive been in plumbing for three years and once you get into after a bunch of the same jobs (water heaters, sinks, toilets) it gets pretty easy. Repetition and failure are the best teachers ive learned from.

[@Arthur-ek7nd]

I started a one man lawn care business and I pulled in over 100k my first year. Just have a truck, trailer, riding mower, edger, weed eater, blower, etc. All stuff I already have to maintain my own property.

[@TheEldestSister23]

🔥

[@RusherResiElectric]

If you're going into a trade that requires a license, ie HVAC, electrical, plumbing. Make sure the company your going into has their act together and time spent with them will be counted towards you getting a license. Shop around, some pay benefits, pay for education or time spent learning, etc. If you're wanting to go out on your own, look at how the company you work for runs things. It's easy to think all you need to know is your trade, but you need social and administrative skills as well. Doing service tech work helps you learn how to interact with a variety of customers. Read Markup and Profit, a Contractors Guide. It's the tradies Bible as far as I am concerned.

[@winstonwolf5706]

Everyone says go in the trades, but if you're in the UK, it's literally not even worth it. Unless you're in your 50s and have your own company in London, then well done. If you're a plumber in the north of England or Scotland, then you'll be earning 5k above minimum wage after you've paid for the 2 years of zero income you did to train for it within 10 years. You're literally better off driving a van.

[@bigboss-wr5hb]

True for all of Europe. This advice only holds for the US; I don't think they should preface it that way, but it's the reality of it.

[@justinian420]

In the US it seems to be highly regional too. Nick always quotes these high incomes for trademen in greater Boston, but it's not like that in other states. I think in Boston the work quality is higher so American guys and their higher quality labor are valued more.

[@The_Iron_Yuppie]

Brits are generally lowered paid though. A British Software Engineer would be lucky to top 70-80k, that’s after a good few years of experience and you’d have to be tied to London in some form. You’re right though and even if you wanted to go into the trades in Britain, good luck trying to get someone to take you on to train you, unless your dad or your dad’s mate has his own business. Even then, if you get trained up, you might be lucky to top 50k/60k with your own business, working every hour. As others have noted though, US trades are regionally dependent and also (from what I understand) dependent on what area you go into, I.E. commercial or residential, new builds, or maintenance on built building etc. This is not to say the trades are bad, just depends on where you are and what you’re doing, but so many people on the internet glorify them and don’t understand the reality. Every tradesman is a millionaire on the internet.

[@cleanmikeandtheboys3165]

Get you a job where you have 30-31 lawns to mow and an office staff of 6.

[@TexasDharma]

26 years old, made over $100k last year in Texas as a jman electrician. My advice is to travel and rake in that per diem while you're young. The company I'm with has trained me in lots of different things as well. Got a couple certs for free I could probably take to another company and make $45+ an hour. Or, yes, I could eventually do my own thing. Starting out is a lot simpler than you think. Literally just get your apprentice card ($30 fee last I checked) and apply online to apprentice electrician/helper positions. It sucks starting out but just stick with it and ask a lot of questions.

[@Betasatan631]

I have noodle-like fingers, I can't even learn to tie my shoes (my thumbs just go messy messy). I don't think there is any trade I can do.

[@aaronerickson8878]

[@CurtisC685]

As someone who’s been in a trade for a decade, there’s a ton of pros and a lot of cons of course. Some of which are causing me to start to change course, but that’s a whole other long comment. The good of getting in a good trade is YOU WILL make a ton of money right now and YOU WiLL feel a sense of accomplishment everyday. If you’re in a rut and those two things sound great to you, you should do it. It might not permanently fix your life but it might be a decent place to spend 10 years of limbo

[@jacob5058]

Most trade companies are owned and operated by clueless people they just happened to fund the business and hiring good workers to succeed in other words they are a middle man they pay you a small percent for your wage when you can be making the full percent -uncle sams pocket but you get the idea and im glad theirs so many people working on their own.

[@noahmarietta7346]

[@samuelellis1316]

[@justinian420]

mid-level corporate can be cliche soul-crushing. However, if you're bringing in hard-to-replace skills, especially a stack of skills that complement (like something technical + speaking english well) then you can have solid job security. If you live near the office, and have a lot of WFH, you'll also cut your commute way down, in the trades you're always in traffic. Still, if I had it to do it all over again I'd do manly white collar in oil/gas/mining or some high skilled trade in the merchant marine. The worst part of white collar is the sissy environment/work culture.

[@prestonbane4176]

I must be a normie zog bug, but the comment about Nick's friends making 200-300K acting like "i'm capped" makes no sense as a complaint. Do either of these two even make that much? What is enough? If they're "millionaires" that's fine. What's wrong with having enough to live your life and enjoy it?

[@rotiman]

Seems a bit out of touch. But it just tells me how good some people have it

[@changedpace9169]

​@@rotiman It's not out of touch if he's speaking from his perspective on it. He's a guy that works on commission and his own projects. He isn't capped. I'm sure Nick has probably made over a million in a year. He's just saying for him that would be bad. I personally would not mind being capped at 300k

[@rileymckenzie6276]

his point is that they cant earn more money if they need/want to whereas the plumber can

[@YoungGunner000]

They may be capped at that one job, but no one is ever truly capped. They can make investments and side projects just like nick. Also the lifestyle bs is just that.. bs. You can make 300k and not play the game and keep up with the jones’s. Thats what retards do. Nick seems to be compensating for not being able to work like that so he can prop up his own choices. No hate, but the whole trades thing is a good approach for a very particular type of person in a rough spot. Almost anything else white collar is better if you’re smart and good at it

[@ElronHumpperdink]

I’m legit starting electrical (4/22/24), at lumberyard job put in notice Monday the 4/8/24 and next Friday is last day… Did shirts for this contractor in screenprinting job before this current one and here it is full circle. Wish me well. The more I prayed about it, the more dialed in it happened and I hope to bless others with this skill.

[@omaisgee123]

You'll like it and you'll learn a ton not just about electrical, but about all trades by default, simply from working side by side with them

[@Bwaarghz]

I’m UK based, 27 thinking about getting a CSCS card on the govt and going into construction, I know trades aren’t amazing but I’m coming out of chef work, which is absolutely diabolically shit. Is construction at least a bit better?

[@Tiram-wk1zm]

Worked in a restaurant from age 16-18, did an apprenticeship as an electrician now I earn quadruple what I did before and I have so much more diversity in my work… I’d say do it, but labouring etc is not really worth it, pick a specialist trade and get into that

[@SHENGUS.]

Got my plumbing and gas, now all i do is install air source heat pumps and get paid £2k weekly, £104k per year just on paper. Make extra cash from scrap copper removed from jobs and get cash jobs on the weekend, work away during the week, hotels are paid for and have a work phone with a company credit card £200 limit each week for food. Tough job, fat bank with all the perks, fuck an office job lol
