Lmao, tradies can earn a solid living, but if you work for somebody else you will eat shit to begin with because most trades really aren’t hard to learn. So therefore the entry is low.

The most profitable way is to be self employed, can earn 150k+ USD without scaling, in a year amongst most trades.

Good luck with that. You better be taking out a huge loan for advertising otherwise you’re relying on the yellowpages and millennials don’t look at that shit
Trade jobs aren’t bad but the way their shilled here and on /pol/ is fucking absurd my stepfather was an electrician for 50 years and never went on his own because he knew the benefits offered by his company were better than what he would get going solo
Being a tradie sucks because if you don’t hit it lucky then you’re stuck making an average 43k or moving to a bumfuck town with niggers or old fucks away from modern society and making bank but alone and miserable and you have your physical therapy to look forward to when you hit 45 anyone who says trade jobs don’t take their toll on the body is a liar
Stick with medical it’s what I did and I’m making 85k annually with no student debt

Redpill me on CBD. On a scale from 1 to crystals, how bullshit is it for treating mood disorders? My gut tells me that it's a placebo at best, but I've had a hard time finding reputable sources.
