Learn to code but unironically
I have dual ticket, welding and electrical, and I work on overhead cranes, make 40$/h and I just started (dont have my technician ticket yet, which is 10k hours) most of my days revolve around inspections, motor controls, contactors, vfd's and basic structural stick welding, I have a company truck i take home, I dont pay for gas, and everything is supplied, top end for my pay is about 55$/h as a tech, working in oil and gas.
how do this fren..?
howd you get started? apprenticship?
There are a million videos on youtube on how to do side hustles to pay the bills. You are not backed up against a wall like you think. For instance, retail arbitrage.

It is really not difficult to make 50k/yr just thrifting and selling items on ebay and similar sites. It takes zero risk to start doing that and there are a billion and one videos showing how it's done.
There is no reason to sell your soul just because of a job especially now when there are so many other ways to make money other than a job that demands your internal biology as its possession.
"Daily Refinement"'s youtube channel has interviews with tech n sports are very good for showing how to
focus on a niche and become efficient enough to be much more profitable.
Thrift and sell things on ebay or poshmark or amazon. You can make mid 5 figures and don't have to play clot shot roulette.
even stem degrees are worthless and you don't learn anything. all my highest paying jobs were not even related to mine. as for you look into working for yourself. many businesses you can do from home, target small business and undercut globohomo corps infrastructure overhead. i recently started doing data/network security for local businesses and pull in over 100k while working 1 to 3 days a week at most. you don't need to work a lot when you keep 100% of your labor.
How much are you paid for posting this? How do i get paid to bot post?
so you do cyber security? Should i just look into data/network security courses?
>be a tradie
>make $100k if I'm very lucky
>actually leave house
or
>be a codemonkey grinding out certs
>make $230k without putting pants on in the morning
the choice is clear
Yeah I was willing to do bitch work for a company, like sweeping floors, grinding, etc, as a laborer, then after a few months of hard work, I got my apprenticeship and essentially was a welders helper for a year, show initiative, and show up to work everyday on time, whenever there is nothing to do, just start cleaning, people notice that stuff, some days you will be getting the shit sandwich jobs.
yes. also get a cheap desktop and turn it into a server. use it as a playground to hone your skills. doing things typically produces a better knowledge base than traditional coursework alone.
>be me
>finance chad
>wfh job doing 3 hours of work a day
>dont even wear pants
lmao
Coding is more of a skilled trade than a profession anyway
>that picture
Made by someone who knows almost nothing about trades, and doesnt know how to spell 'die' either
which trade is most based then sir?
i don't know whether to stick with assembly, get back into telecom or just kill myself. I like plants more than anything.
>bad pay
>bad hours
>low upwards mobility
>low flexibility
>hugely dependant on your location
>backbreaking work
trades suck, dont get memed into it by poltards talking about their six figures with underwater welding
i dont like anything where i cant make money with my brain ya know
I'm in the same position as OP except with a graduate degree and probably more debt. There's absolutely nothing wrong with trades. You get university paid for so you don't get an opinion on this fag.
Careers > Jobs. The problem it sounds like is that you have no direction. The money will come , you flip burgers for money. But you need the direction.
get a CDL and become a garbage boi
Willfully ignorant, special, brain damaged, or trolling
