hated construction. Poor. Thinking of trying again, but no construction. Fuck that. Cant do residential either because I cant drive. Cant do anything that involves a vehicle.

Alright. Shut up if youll say "bellyacher whiner". I need advice. Should I go back to the electrical trade? I have no real experience other than a month before quitting and have been doing other shit this whole time. Have an associates in the electrical trade. Thats all.

Are there energy/railroad companies that will hire a newbie?
Or ANY decent union job (doesnt have to be electrical)? End goal: 20 an hr. I live in southern california (near LA, but not in LA. Neighboring city). Why am I aiming so low? Because im 25 and have been shit on by the job market and gave up on shitmerica. I just want something half decent.

I got in a union a yr ago, but it was construction. Looked good on paper, but I could easily tell I would have killed myself had I stayed. Construction is depressing. Grey everywhere. Old angry boomers. Fast paced. Cut throat. Expecting you to be a genius and understand everything asap. Short temper. Cussing. Like wtf..

Learn to read. I did a 2 yr associates in the electrical trade. Hated the construction environment and basically gave up on the trades. Currently have a shit paying job unrelated to the field and am thinking of going back to it. That or wanted to see suggestions as to what jobs I could go for. I want advice, but not from brainlets like you.

I just graduated with my EE degree and work for an MEP consulting firm in SoCal. My boss started as an electrician and then eventually went back to school for his EE degree and got his PE. Dude bills $273.50 an hour for the company now as a senior electrical engineer for his consulting. I'd consider just getting an EE degree at cal state Long Beach or something like that if you already have your associates like you say. I'm starting at 34 an hour equivalent right out of school.

Im not sure what advice youre wanting, if you want to earn good money you either have to work hard or be intelligent enough and have a knack for entrepreneur endeavors.

You want to know the truth?
Retarded boomers ruined the economy
HR hires based off internal referrals/company image
HR is also retarded
You can be a good, productive worker that's sociable, but you'll still get more work/assignments over the inner circle that probably has already found a way to seem busy. Eventually when stacey comes back from maternity leave, they'll find a way to get rid of you if you don't "fit in".
It's not sustainable, incompetence adds up, and the company/organization will eventually fail as a result
But what can you do about all of this? and I'm talking about any kind of job that not entrepreneurial in nature. Nothing. You're fucked.

I have, it's good work, you take what you get out of it and parley those skills into something that doesn't eat your health. For electricians the natural flow is either technician/troubleshooter or forman/project manager. Your attitude precludes both, I wouldn't trust you with food, desu.

Mate, what young people dont understand these days is that you're expecting a cushy job right out of school. Boomers run every industry, you gotta do the hard yards first so you learn the fundamentals (this goes for anything) and then you can find a suitable role once you develop from those fundamental skills. I started out as a construction sparky and now i work PLC maintenance in an oil and gas project getting paid 230k annually in aussie dollars working a 2 week on and 2 week off roster, I might get one fault a week which usually is just a simple reset. Mostly i just play vidya games on my laptop in my little hidey office and once a week i have to have a walk around and "find" faults that can be fixed in the next shutdown (preventative maintenance). I started an apprenticeship when i was 18 finished at 22 and now im 28 for reference.

Wow. Thats pretty crazy. Ik a guy that is hardcore. Works 60hrs a week every single week (not exaggerating) and he is nowhere near where you are. That said, he's 24 and has completed just 1 year of the apprenticeship. Construction.
