It's the reality of the job market even in this booming economy.

>>14822733
That job sounds like such a fucking pain in the ass that it makes me kind of sick thinking about it, especially for that measly pay.

>>14822937
why do you think the economy is booming?

it's because youre all working 60 hour weeks and getting paid like pajeets. lmfao.

>>14822733

To make it as a tradesman you need to join a union and work up from an apprentice to a journeyman when you start making the fat stacks. But that's 5 years from the start.

>>14822733
It may be a false offer, ie too difficult standards as an excuse to hire foreigners after they say, ''we couldn't find american workers lel''

im 30 gentlement the market is still the same as it it was from when I graduated, all of the jobs offer has always been this retarded. Time for economic collapse.

>>14822733
This is for RVs not the wage of a journeyman electrician. Residential/commercial isn't much better. With the trades its industrial or bust which is union territory. That's where the money is. Regardless trades aren't some secret financial weapon. You will never be wealthy on a salary or hourly until you actually have ownership in a company.

>>14822733
Ohm look, another cherry picked "worst case scenario" to rationalize not getting a job. If you don't want to work, then don't, and shut the fuck up already, nobody cares.

That job is geared towards young dudes looking for experience. That job can lead to better ones down the road - the RV shit can be translated into different fields alone.

Nobody is going to hand you money, for nothing. If you want to make more money, get some training, eat shit for a couple of years. Like everyone else, you're not a special fucking snowflake. Working sucks. WE GET IT. But you do it, or you don't. Choose, and shut the fuck up already.

Riverside. $15 an hour there, you can afford a one bedroom apartment. Even cheaper if you have a roomate, 2 bdrms go for around 1400 there. $700 a month on $15 is very livable. You won't get rich, but only a legit retard expects to get rich installing electric lifts for wheelchairs in vans.

>>14823203
I tell every 30yo boomer loser like me to get a trade. Work until they can afford a studio apartment, keep the lights on, car fueled, and eat at chipotle without feeling guilty. Then save your excess into getting your own business off the ground. Waiting for the crypto moon while not hustling is a BAD idea.

>union welder
>sanitary stainless
>130k
If I really want to make money, I could weld on LP pipes, but it is dangerous and I do fine.

I know, and I get that most of /biz these days are NEETs who refuse to work, because they think they're above that, because mommy said they were the smartest, most special little prince ever. Or they're poos.

My family has a mix of professionals and tradesmen. My cousin married a dude literally digging ditches on a crew, and now is a multi-millionaire doing commercial construction. A cousin ate shit for years wiring fuse boxes in homes, now works for the city and the union and draws a hell of a paycheck, and will get a fat pension (if the state doesn't go broke). Another sells interest rates in NYC and does well. Another sells chemicals and made regional sales director and lives in a fucking mansion. All of them, every single one, hated working on the way up. Until it started to suck less, and the pay got better.

But 90% of /biz is "I DON WANNA GET A JOB" from manchildren who think they were promised a lambo pony.

>>14823203
>That job is geared towards young dudes looking for experience
>3+ years experience

i'm going into networking thoughts bros?

>>14823430
And? They don't want some fumblefingers fucking around in a van's electrical harness, without a couple of years working on cars. I would guarantee if you told them you've been working on cars for years, and can show them you can read a wiring diagram and can show you know what wires are what, and how to add connections to a fuse panel, you're golden. A lot of companies put requirements in the ads to scare off the flakes. Everywhere I've ever worked "x years experience' means "On the job, or the equivalent". Some kid who's been wrenching on cars, tapping into the wiring to add Fast And Furious LEDs and sub boxes and stereos? Qualifies.

Maybe if you stopped looking for reasons NOT to apply, you might get somewhere.

>>14822733
Fuck me every job is like this it makes me fucking sick
>irrelevant job title
>2 years experience required
>certifications required
>willing to be on call and work weekends
>compensation $14-15 hourly
>105 applicants
its all so tiresome

>>14823519
Then don't get a job, nobody cares if you do, or don't.

>>14823329
DUDE JUST MAKE ENOUGH TO KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE TO WAGE SLAVE TOMORROW LOL

>>14823443
do security and data science at the same time

>>14823596
what's the alternative?

>>14823591
Did I say I didn't want a job? I said getting an entry level job is fucking hard when you need 5 years experience for a job 105 other people applied for you bootlicking boomer
>its your fault if you don't have a job even if you have been applying every day and you keep getting ghosted after interviews
fuck off

>>14823045
nobody thinks it is. just boomer lies and trump grandstanding himself as usual.

>>14823596
As opposed to...what? Not surviving because my fake internet coins got dunked again by some Chinese whales?

I didn't invent the system, but I like buying food, having a clean, safe home, a car, and cash to buy things like the computer I'm typing on. I'm an adult, my parents are dead, so I couldn't NEET it even if I wanted to, and I like what I do for a living. I had hard years, but I kept at "wage slaving" as you so adorably put it, and I'm doing just fine. I owe my monthly bills, because I pay my credit cards off every month, no car payment, no college debt. I have more in traditional investments than the entire value of your whole life.

But keep telling me how I'm doing it wrong. It's amusing.

>>14823670
And i told you the whole 5 years experience is often just a formality to scare off the flakes and deadbeats. Keep crying at me, it's entertaining while you flail around trying to have a point.

If you're getting ghosted on interviews...maybe you're the problem? Whattya think, there, champ?

>>14823806
I think that you are a dick sucking boomer

I'm an electrician apprentice and I make 12hr

>>14823782
not saying you're doing anything wrong i'm just saying the system is a piece of shit and people shouldn't have to live like this

>>14823329
it's more like 1400 for a 1br apartment

>>14823420
*sip*

>>14823889
sounds about right.

>>14822777
checked and keked

>>14824035
You're right, people shouldn't have to listen to you
Drive off a cliff fucknut

>>14823329
Seems like it’s been a while since you left RS. Only cheap places are homeless filled near down town areas. By the mountain sides has been going up.

/pol/ told me everyone in the trades makes 100k or owns their own business

>>14823074
This. But during the apprenticeship they drug test every month. So it kinda isn’t worth it

>>14824130
>pay for your education
>get paid for your training
