It depends on what you want to study. Yes, it can be better. If you’re not a retard you could start your own business after several years depending on your trade. Problem is finding competent and reliable people to work for you.

weeks are 40 hours. i have flex time so i can take three times the PTO so let's just ignore those 12 days. adjusting to 60 hours of actual effort, counting my hourly rate at the FTE position plus the 1099 side hustle, that would be total compensation around $400k
so yeah i guess you have a 94 IQ

If you have options and an exit plan maybe, uncertain if your body gives up before 45 with random pains. If you start your own business or invest aggressively early, you save yourself the time wasted in college and more.

No women or less of them and informal workplace which can be fun if that's your type of thing. Also stimulating for body and mind unlike waging in a office. Hard to tell if it's for you unless you try it but some days I just feel I get paid for working out and listening to music since I'm used to the job and can be done easy sometimes.

Of course if your're a hyper normalfag that gets good grades college will beat it easily, but otherwise certain trades can be a good value

1. Start off as tradie
2. Get job
3. Do math college courses one at a time. Don’t register into any degree. Just pay to do 1 math course alone. JUST ONE MOTHERFUCKER JUST ONE. It costs money but it’s an investment.
4. Focus on this one course and get an A
5. Do another SINGLE math course.
6. Slowly build up portfolio of A’s in STEM college courses.
7. Enroll in engineering degree officially
8. Transfer your entire portfolio of STEM A’s
9. Quit being a tradie and get an internship at prestige high level company with your portfolio of A’s as soon as you officially register
10. Get A’s in remaining courses left to complete degree
11. Continue internship and do Grad degree
12. Get hired by engineering company 150k starting as you have practical tradie experience as well as book smart
13. Start paying and registering for MBA courses / degree part time while engineer
14. Get promoted from engineer to project manager
15. Final boss for the executive positions

so you basically make 75k if you adjusted your work week to a normal 40 hour week.

Do you think it'll be a good idea to be a tradie in the next few years with the inevitable housing collapse?
That will also kill the construction boom which is already slowing massively in most countries with over inflated markets.
2008-2012/14 was a shit time to be a tradie unless you were fully qualified and didn't mind moving for jobs.
As soon as you see trades being pushed everywhere like real estate agents its time for a new gig.

Or just work commercial.

about 8/10 girls nowadays have tattoos. they do it to signal to others that they're not racist/anti-lqbtq/sexist etc.

I'm also starting to see it with many girls that aren't so low IQ which is a shame.

it's like their wearing picrel constantly.

Don't bother dating tattooed girls unless it's just to smash, they already fucked their local tattoo artist / piercer and secretly love them doing body modification on them

Tradie here (commercial electrician), HELL NO! Well, at least not if you choose a decent major. Not all trades are the same, not all degrees are the same. It's just too vague to even compare "trade vs college dur". If you wanted to do something like a trade, you could be a plant operator or something. It takes like 2 years college and you will make 6 figures consistently IIRC. IDK man, you just really need to do some research if you are just now starting out. The best trades, FYI, are elevator techs, instrumentation, working for equipment manufacturers (at least with electrical, CNC machines, automation/automated lighting). Crane work pays well, either operator or setting up cranes.

Having seen all these, I would tell my kid to just find a solid degree. There is something to be said about the inherently different lifestyles, even though I'm trash myself. Trades are for midwits, desu. It's where I belong. ;) I thought making 150% of my dad's wage was good money, it isn't. We were poor.

>> No.52303313

I can't believe this is a real thread, but in case there are any gullible teenagers reading this, hell fucking no. Trades are for double-digit IQ retards who, while necessary for a functional society, are not in a position anyone intelligent would consider desirable. go to college, just don't get a meme degree.

>> No.52303318

Not sure if this is cope or not but college educated office plankton seem to be less ugly even if they make less money.

i watched a lot of electricians talk and promote the trade in of the camera and i barely liked one or two guys.

With a good selection of tools, jobs can take next to no effort. However, every special tool you're using is more shit to haul on and off the site, up and down ladders, fuck around with in a tight space, and have to swap between. Not being able to just muscle the fuck out of something to make it go will slow you down tremendously, making your quotes more expensive.
