Where the Jobs Are: The New Blue Collar

[@underratedcomments9436]

The girl that landed a job after gaining a certificate and 3 months of school was extremely lucky and I wouldn’t be surprised if she knew someone to get the job or worked for the company already. This kind of shit is not happening or everybody and their family would be all over it. I’m set to graduate next semester as a Industrial Systems Technician and in order for me to even use my degree to get real on the job training I’m more than likely going to have to relocate to a bigger city where there is more manufacturing and better pay. In my Town there are only a handful of jobs looking for someone with my degree but they want years of experience before they even interview you.

[@Batman96925624]

yes I can totally relate to companies picking favorites in the hiring process, such as hiring based on who you know and your network, family that has worked there, or the company's HR department is lousy. Oversaturated job fields can be the culprit too, and your locaiton

[@johnsradios484]

Jobs in the trades open up and hundreds line up for a few openings. But we hear that these jobs go unfilled. Something stinks.

[@fabriceizzo2922]

The major issue about the US job market (white and blue collar) is that there are millions of jobs out there that many people qualify for but never receive an offer. They are keeping those jobs posted to keep applicants interested and constantly coming back. Every now and then they will recruit someone on who-you-know basis.

[@BlueCollar850]

The good thing about manual labor is there's not always a lot of competition out there. Most of the younger generation don't work in the factories and construction sites.

If companies want blue collar workers they need to pay more as incentive. Everybody wants something for nothing but millenials don't want to sell themselves short.

[@MrBigtime1986]

what about health care or retirement ? no one ever talks about that

[@GoldenTriangleTours]

With 75 million "baby boom" generation people aging out of the workforce, industry has no choice but to get serious about training young people to take these jobs! Employers are finally starting to realize that they can't keep turning away job seekers for lack of experience and expecting experienced people to just materialize out of thin air! It's about time!

[@courtneydurham8429]

Exactly. Not only will employers be forced to train the next generation of workers, they'll have to pay them too or else they'll take off and get better pay elsewhere. I was looking at flight school to become a pilot and American Airlines has finally started their own school but instead of funding the school themselves, they still expect students to take out massive student loans. It's a hard no for me. Paid plumbing apprenticeship is the better option, and frankly better pay and hours overall.

[@AarmOZ84]

Here in Utah, the manufacturing industry was finally forced to start apprenticeship programs. They last four years and you get paid to be trained on the job, at tech school, and at college. By the end of the 4 years, you can do most things a machinist can do and have an AAS in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. You then are able to get into the highly skilled jobs plus are only 2 years of college away from receiving your Bachelor's degree. I feel this is great for young people who have a high aptitude for technology, but didn't have the grades in high school to pursue an engineering degree.

[@Kappanoname]

this is a 4 year old video my man. you also gotta realize that minimum wages are different everywhere. the last year i worked in texas (2017) mm was 7.25 here in california 2018 mm is 13.25. right NOW 13 dollars may not be a lot in some states, but it may be well above minimum in other states. in texas 13 dollars is a comfortable wage to live on by yourself.

[@youtubetimecapsul7491]

Did blue collar work once upon a time. And I absolutely destroyed my body trying to meet quotas. Oh and lets be honest these jobs pay crap. You can make close average wage but you’d have to work week ends. The people i worked with were very humble. But I couldn’t shake the feeling there was this aire of sadness in the atmosphere.

[@RideAMAP]

Every high school, middle school teacher, administrator and district official need to watch this, then show it to their students.

[@Lost1Byte]

I agree!

[@DirtHog365MV]

Agree! Believe way too much emphasis was put on 4-year colleges and leaving the student with debt up to their eye-balls starting out. A 2-year degree is just as good, if not better, if you have time in the industry along with the paper. As a hiring manager, I opted to hire people that had experience in their field well beyond those that just had a piece of paper. There seems to be (especially in my field) a huge separation between learned knowledge and on-the-job knowledge. IT isn't an exact science all the time - you still need the basics and the same goes for the "New Blue Collar". As an country, we lost a lot of skilled workers due to a lot of high school/2-year college kids not wanting to be welders, plumbers, and/or fabricators sending a lot of that work overseas. You can see the difference in made goods because of the pride one can put into a job that nets a good paying/supportive job. Not just to that individual but to us a country, we need more young men and women to enter the work force and bring back the standard of "Made in the USA" to its rightful place. Once established in the trade or job function, the individual can then go back to school and earn their Bachelor and Master's without having the revolving debt from the start. This is where that person knows their trade well enough to teach new and upcoming individuals to become better and introduce new ways of doing things. They then become better managers and/or bosses who are open to the "new blood" and more open to new techniques within these areas. Work the system, don't let the system work you! =0)

[@logan511962]

+DirtHog365 what we need more now is to strengthen the labor force, bring back strong unionization, unions before Reagan declared war on them had strong apprenticeship programs that produced the qualified labor pool, some still do but now young people have to pay to learn the skills that should be taught on the job by the people actually doing the work, and at the same time get hands on experience.

[@GrimThe21]

The government wants to oversarurate the Trades so that they can drop the wages... Why do employers have to pay premium wages for welders/steamfitters/Ironworkers..etc.... If everybody becomes one, then their is no incentive pay for demand cause the demand is always met in excess..

[@bLitz72]

I'm coming from a white collar industry, went to 4 years of school but now I'm currently working to become an electrician. The biggest factor for my career switch is: MONEY $$$

[@bLitz72]

yes but not everyone wants to become or is cut out for doctor or engineering careers.

[@bLitz72]

and another note, regarding engineering and medical field, a lot of students living in third world countries are encouraged to take these majors thinking it would make them a lot of money and be able to land jobs right after school, the problem is, all these students end up taking the same thing which creates less demand for those fields in that country and thus students are unable to land jobs in engineering or even nursing. An example of this today would be countries like India (engineering), or the Philippines (nursing)

[@movieguy992]

I'm considering becoming an electrician as well purely for the money. I also have a white collar job but would like a different kind of work and better pay. Why do amounts for this work vary so much. On Indeed I see average hourly rate for electricians is $20. That's a nice rate but far from this insane 100 grand a year that I sometimes hear people talking about with electricians.

[@bLitz72]

depends on your location

[@n1ghtblur]

I went to one semester of college planning on getting an EE degree, then dropped out and dicked around for a couple years. Now, I'm 19 and I'm an electrician apprentice and I love it. The job fell right into my lap, I didn't have an interview or drug test, and I'm getting paid $11.60/hr at the moment, which will go up to $18/hr once I'm a journeyman. the company I work for is literally me, the other apprentice, and the boss/owner. he's doing pretty damn well financially.

We still need to go through Trade School. That costs money and another 2 more years of our time. And we've already had our finances sucked out of us from University. And that doesn't shake off the stigma that was forced onto us for years. University, or you're automatically a bum. Nobody cared about what happened to us after leaving school. And it's somehow "our fault" for being deceived. Unless somebody's willing to provide compensation and assistance to help us transition into this, it won't do anything. We'll still be stuck, and the economy will still be crippled. Because the last career center I went to didn't give a care in the world for my problem. It defeats the whole purpose of why we pay these people and institutions.

I previously worked blue collar and it’s vastly overrated. There is not enough money in the world to get me to return to skilled trade jobs. The truth is that they are not anymore necessary than some white collar work. In the end, every individual needs to find what is helpful for them, and I don’t mean having a fat paycheck. With that said, I do what works for me and yes I do white collar work now, so whenever those judgemental skilled tradespeople snobs look down on me for it, I say now “Judge not least you be judge and May God wake you up and God bless.” I have nothing against anyone who is open to doing blue collar work for themselves but I commend those who call out the BS and can both work for the individual as well as others and who is honest about the downsides of working a skilled trade job. Many will deny it otherwise, but the truth always comes out.

[@rmath8605]

@@Batman96925624 you can make decent money as an electrician, but if you're planning on working for a non union contractor, don't count on it. The contractor I worked for started their journeymen out at about $17 an hour and by the time payment for health insurance and taxes was taken out of your check, you were only bringing home about $500 on a good week. It's pathetic. The highest paid journeyman in the company which employed about 150 guys out in the field paid their long time employee of almost 30 years only $24 an hour - a joke. I am now a route driver for a local vending company and make significantly more than when I worked in electrical. It's shitty, dirty work, you have to wear long pants and work boots in grueling summer heat, job sites are loud, messy, a lot of the guys I worked with were angry, miserable bastards who hated their job and their lives so coming to work was always a lot of fun, etc. Learning the trade was cool because I know how to bend conduit which is a valuable skill and I know and understand a lot of the code, but I''d never go back to that shit because I hated it so much. If you do decide to go after a career in electrical and do not intend to go into business for yourself or get a job as a high paid maintenance electrician where you are strictly that company's electrician, then definitely go union. I'm normally not a big proponent of modern day labor unions, but in this case, I'm all for them. The contractor I worked for took appalling advantage of me and treated me like shit. The lows they sunk to to save money and how they treated me would never fly in a unionized workplace.

The company I worked for was awful and the owners were only out for themselves and only worried about money. Hey, I understand that making money is a main priority in running a business - many of my family members own their own businesses, but when you take such appalling advantage of your employees and do sneaky and underhanded crap to save a dime while taking advantage of your employees, that's low.

I have heard repeatedly, as highly qualified specialists couldn't get a job just because they have a Spanish name. It is a manifestation of discrimination and human rights violations on the part of American employers

[@writerforlifeify]

Michelina Burchett There's a case of a well qualified job seeker who sent out hundreds of résumés under his real (Spanish) name. He was never invited to a single interview. One day he changed his first (José) to Joe & the employer-fish started biting.

[@jerryG-p3w]

If We go to South, central America and try and get a job will they hire us?

[@fabriceizzo2922]

That is only because they pay them less for twice the work and speed. It is not sustainable in the long run. Try to get a white collar job with those Spanish names. I dare you.
