What percentage of skilled tradies do you boyos think make $100k plus in freedom $'s? I could throw out national averages for carpenters, plumbers, etc, but let's see what you guys think. And yes, I know that underwater welders who defuse bombs make $300k plus, I get the couple of outliers.

Well I work with skilled trades and imagine Ripper does as well. Unskilled trades aren't making this, but ticketed trades like ironworkers, pipefitters, industrial electricians, etc in heavy industrial (site access requires drug testing, specific training) I work on projects where literally everyone is making $100k+ CAD. These are legit numbers but definitely not applicable across the board.


Specialty welders can make ridiculous money even above ground, I've seen skilled welders with rigs charging $100/hr (but they supply their own equipment). If you can weld stainless or exotics like duplex and monel, bump it up to $120/hr.

Caveat is that these jobs are hazardous in various ways, hard on the body, etc

like I said earlier licensed trades people are all making 100k plus a year. Or atleast 95% of them are.

the misc thinks highschool drop outs that do roofing in the summer is a "trades person"

licensed trades people have to do x amount of apprenticeship hours (my trade was 9000), than they can write their red seal test and become licensed

apprentices make between 20 - 40 an hour depending where they work and their current level. But once you are licensed you are making minimum 40 dollars an hour

let's be cereal. college propagandas hard and then they bought a degree. and then want to justify it while paying the loans back

meanwhile an apprenticeship if you can get into one pays money out of their pocket and you can go debtless. i find it mind boggling that

brb go into debt and pay x amount (-50k)
brb don't go into debt for school, get paid at the same time and never go into debt. possibly +200k in the same time period. maybe more, maybe less.

that's a lot of catching up to do even with a plush job while the debts accruing interest

which one to choose?

i have to agree a lot of guys in the trades aren't educated but its pretty crazy how versatile most trades are and or how "skilled" they are.

there's no way you're stepping onto a job site in a skilled position like electrician and know whats going on

I have a lot of tradie people in my life (since I'm addicted to Papsi, hoogers, crime) and I know what it can be like.

Short term jobs

Instability

Body breaking

Working with mongs

I respect it, but its tough hard honest work and they really do earn that pay. Wish I could say the same about my bish ex wife, she lives on my alimony and spends it on hs kids. It makes me sick and I've fkin HAD it.

This, my apprenticeship was 4 years long. 3 months at the training center, then a week every 6 months. During the apprenticeship.
Base pay right now Is around 130 plus bonus. Bonus I usually 10-20k

Highly disagree.

If you're gonna be a cog in the machine, you might as well do as least as possible while making as much as possible.

Tradesmen are doing real work for 8 hours 5 days a week. They can't slack whatsoever. Meanwhile an officecel does literally nothing but check emails every 30 minutes.

Don't get me wrong, I'd take this in a heartbeat over what i have now, but officels are winning. And now they can work from home. No commute, no overpriced fast food, etc.


The point is to game the system and officels are doing just that.

I'm not a roofer,but a commercial refrigeration mechanic and also business owner. No disrespect but I work on rooftop equipment all the time and if the roof isn't done by a talented,skilled crew it can be a disaster for the building owner. So what I'm trying to say is commercial roofing isn't as easy and unskilled as many people believe

No way that I would take an office job unless it was what my supervisor does. Shoots the **** with the guys, signs time sheets and gets on some nonsense conference calls.

do you work out?

just curious. lets say you have someone who sits on the couch all day. only does that. like literally does nothing else

how would he feel?

then you have someone who works out.. how does he feel?

i think most people being honest would say that the guy working out will prob have multiple positive factors over the guy doing nothing

so what did we learn here?

is doing nothing conducive to happiness?

or is doing something conducive to happiness?

now, i know the argument is gonna be like.. "well, you can still do other stuff while not on the job"

but, again.. what did we learn here?

is doing stuff conducive to happiness or is doing nothing?

so then doing more stuff (physically) is prob better for happiness, no?

and also, doing nothing (or even less) is a negative

Regular electrical work is not intricate at all lol, most electricians that i came across don't have a clue about basic electricity.
Linework is alot more dangerous because most of the time you work on.live conductors and one screw up can end your life or burn you to the point to where you don't want to live anymore.

There was an accident at the company that i work for not that long ago, a guy grabbed an antenna on a pole and put his back on a live conductor, he didn't have his gloves on, the system saw it as load and didn't relay, it kept pumping through his arms. They amputated both of.his arms at the shoulder. He is pretty much fuked for the rest of his.life.

man, so many aspects to electrical. even regarding just code. i agree with you in regard to most electricians regarding their knowledge of theory though.. but thats just theory and there are tons of aspects to the trade. and nor do i think that speaks to the complexity of electricity in and of itself.

i agree about the danger with higher voltage but do you realize most lethal accidents actually happen at lower voltage? because of the carelessness usually

im not totally positive about all the intricacies of a transformer but my understanding of lineman is transmission line carrying higher voltage. then going to a transformer where its typically stepped down but sometimes up

so youve basically got the power lines and transformers as most day to day tasks

i mean chit an electrician has codes on devices and wires and infrastucture, building infrastructure, underground pipes or wiring, wiring devices or complicated circuit, relays, bending conduit precisely, etc. ,etc.

there's a reason why i didn't list chit out initially; too much to list

I'm not saying electrical work is easy but alot of electricians are just pipe benders and that's pretty much all that they know how to do.
I argued with electricians before about electrical theory. Just not that long ago I had a scheduled drop for a solar panel install. They ran parallel 500 from the CT panel to the main disconnect. About a 15 foot run if not less. The electrician was trying to tell me that the lenght of the wire had to be precisely cut and had to be the same if not the shorter one would carry all the load. I was like yea ok bro.

I don't work transmission anymore that belongs to a separate department. I run a trouble truck, and do all the outages.
As far as following code, the utility writes specs and we have to follow them.
The electrical system is alot more complex then most people realize. Especially nowadays with all the distribution automation devices.

I argued with electricians before about electrical theory. Just not that long ago I had a scheduled drop for a solar panel install. They ran parallel 500 from the CT panel to the main disconnect. About a 15 foot run if not less. The electrician was trying to tell me that the lenght of the wire had to be precisely cut and had to be the same if not the shorter one would carry all the load. I was like yea ok bro.

I don't work transmission anymore that belongs to a separate department. I run a trouble truck, and do all the outages.
As far as following code, the utility writes specs and we have to follow them.
The electrical system is alot more complex then most people realize. Especially nowadays with all the distribution automation devices.

it's weird man... i'd say a lot of tradies don't like school. but honestly it's prob just iq distribution

most people are average and in the c range. id liken it to people that think "c's get degrees". not like every computer science majorr had a 4.0 or 4.0+ gpa. most people probably fall in the c avg. and are just doing what they can to get by

but an apprenticeship is super thorough. whereas a standard electrician doesn'tHAVE TOgo to school, except if you want to pass the journeyman's test, the apprenticeship has schooling for 3 to 5 years. ironically, if someone didn't go to school, they're prob not passing a state administered or even union journeyman test. but meanwhile i agree with you even journeyman that went through an apprenticeship don't really seem to grasp theory. they'll have a better overall understanding than your avg. but they can't go particularly into depth about theory. unless it's just as i explained as aforementioned; "c's get degrees". they didn't really fully understand concepts, just did enough to get by

i think most people being honest would say that the guy working out will prob have multiple positive factors over the guy doing nothing

so what did we learn here?

is doing nothing conducive to happiness?

or is doing something conducive to happiness?

now, i know the argument is gonna be like.. "well, you can still do other stuff while not on the job"

but, again.. what did we learn here?

is doing stuff conducive to happiness or is doing nothing?

so then doing more stuff (physically) is prob better for happiness, no?

and also, doing nothing (or even less) is a negative
I work out but I do it on my own terms. If I go to the gym and receive an itinerary to Snap City (and I did about 6 years ago while deadlifting) I know that with my hybrid job when I have to be at the office those 2 or 3 days in a week, I'm not lifting heavy chit or bending and crouching all damn day. Plus I have a standing desk, so if I get tired of sitting I can just stand, and vice versa.

Meanwhile if I was at my old tradie job, I'd have to waste sick time/PTO and be forced to be back at work after only a week of time off only to phuck up my back even more and be on disability by the time I'm 40 (basically all of my dads friends are in that shape btw). That's why my parents pushed me into white collar fields as oppose to being a tradie, and I thank them for it every day.

Embody is too plush for me or something. I mean it's a great chair but I don't like the design and reminds me of a gaming chair.

Aeron or Cosm for me are great task chairs.
