What's the best trade to work in and why?
Or should I just go back and get CCNA certs and become a network/sys admin so I'm able to shitpost
Blue Collar Work
James Peterson
Dylan Ortiz
Become a network guy. Easier on the body. Though if you pick a trade become a heavy duty mechanic. Best trade by far.
Dylan Gonzalez
thanks user, im 34 so trades might be too late to start. i don't know if my body can handle it.
Gabriel Perez
My experience solely lies in HVAC and I'll say I started as a 19 year old and all the other guys were 33-36 years. It's definitely hard work with a lot of physical labor. My recommendation is to look for a smaller but up and coming company with prospects to achieve a management position ASAP. This will get you out of field work while still giving you a career that's engaging and with good pay. Best of luck user.

I did electrical, the "cleaner" trade, unless you are doing underground work or crawling through an attic.
Biggest threats to the body:
Knees, get a collapsible hunting chair tripod. Lightweight and more comfy than a jetliner bucket, if you can find a bucket. Trim work takes more time than you think.
Back. Lift ergonomically. If you need to wear a tool pouch, distribute it evenly on both sides of your body. There are old electricians with fucked up postureS due to that.
General life/limb
Dontwork hot, unless you really need to and have the appropriategear.
Don't be stupid on the ladder
Keeping thesein mind may save your body.

long haul sounds miserable. what are your hours like?
Caleb Rogers
Welding: great pay, work is more niche and harder to come by
Plumber: solid pay, easier to find work
Construction: pay can vary from pretty meh to good if self employed - work everywhere, completely graft dependant.

>CCNA certs and become a network/sys admin
A lot of that stuff is getting automated and moved to the cloud and SDWAN is becoming more prominent. I don't recommend it.

HAHAHAHAHA
Jeremiah Morgan
Plumber
Parker Rodriguez
Learn instrumentation. Learn PLCs. The future is automation.
But if I could go back, I'd become a lineman. Especially if you live in the US, basically our whole power grid needs rebuilt. There will probably be solid work in that field for the next 50 yrs.
I'm a millwright. It's too hard on the body. I'll be getting my spine fused and my shoulders replaced in 20 yrs
Noah King

>no thank you mrs miggins i don't do toilets

Gavin Jackson
Tradecucking should be the very last option on the list
>Failed college/meme degree
>Can't get a white collar job
>Oh well time to become a welder
Unironically finding myself was one of the best things in college, I went on airsoft matches every weekend and giving up that for 4 years of tradecucking is a joke.

What would you recommend then? I fucking hate programming.
Leo Davis

Parker Diaz
I do tile. I like it a lot, you should look into it.
Brody Wright

Knee pads and back brace, my dude.

Get your CompTIA A+ and get a comfy job doing IT in a school.
