Always exceptions, my man.

I'm an Elevator Constructor in a large city. Most Journeyman in Construction these days make $150k+, Foreman = $200k+ (take home truck, parking on the company. add a couple grand to that 200 figure too)

I've heard of men on service routes pulling in $300k+ (on call 24/7 and probably worked every single day).

And most men work in the trades well in their 60's -at least the one I'm in. Why?

A) Just like most things in life when you are an expert in your field and have done it for 30 years there's a ton of perks -no BS, walk away and go work for someone else if you don't like boss/etc, not lifting heavy shit all day

B) To get the fuck away from their wifes.

I have an exit plan, however. Stacking away as much cash as I can and hope to punch out in my early 50's. Most guys in the trades are bad with asset allocation, but I like to come here and other places to learn about this stuff.
