I've worked as an electrician's apprentice for over a year now and I can't stand it. My boss sends three different people on a residential job that can be done by one person, MAYBE two people, and as a result I have to stand around and wait to get my hands on something. There are many times where I have to argue/compete with others over whether or not I get to do something since there isn't enough shit for us. The reason my boss sends more people is because he can charge extra for labor. Commercial jobs are awful because when there's nothing to do I have to 'act busy' (aka make my brain rot doing pointless work) so some guy doesn't see me doing nothing and psychotically screams at me.

He's the only person that gives me hope. Trades work for many, but I've encountered too many people who brag about how much they make, only to realize they make $24 an hour with 90 hour work weeks.

Is anyone here licensed in some sort of trade? After I graduated high school, life got fucked up and I went straight to working instead of going to school. I've worked various construction jobs since then for 3 years now and I'm torn on whether I should go to college or try to get into a union and obtaining a license.

When will you faggots stop complaining about ''not making it'' because you're spending your hard earned wage bucks gambling on imaginary internet money. How about you take the resource that is so massively available to the public (Even the lowest class, nigger tier, poorest niggers have internet) and go learn an actually skill that would be viable for good income? Making it in crypto is then a 1% chance of happening.
