Skilled Trades

sounds like your a lazy ass. BUT a very smart guy eh!

Anyways. I’m a tech. Always have doubts and upsets. The trade is, what you make it to be really. It is, to me and many other techs I know the worst skilled trade to be in. The beating your body takes. Back, knees, hands, wrists etc etc. Hot cold, hot cold, hot cold. Expensive tools. Pay is no where near what it should be.
For example. People assembling cars are making in excess of 30 dollars an hour (for example) and I am making 15/hour? Yes, there is salary, or flat rate. Each has it’s benefits. Yet. Tax time, you get to right off ONLY $1000 of your tools…as opposed to plumbers or electricians? Hmm, funny huh.

Research research research. If your going to get into a skilled trade…I hope it’s something you enjoy or truly love doing. That is the only reason I am still in this trade. Believe it or not…just shy of 11 years now. Father owns a shop, so I have always been gettin my hands dirty. I love it, but hate it. Then again…who would want it any other way?!?

I work hard for my money. Unlike a lot of other “skilled trades” people.

I hope you’re not getting paid $15/hour :eek2:
