Welding is not really a trade. Its a part of some trades, like ironworker, millwtight or steamfitter. Lots of "welders" are just guys making $18 in some sort of manufacturing job who have little training and are easily replaced.
Ironworkers and other trades do allot more than weld and make $50+ with another $25+ in benifets on top of that.

I'm at engineer at a major military contractor (yes, that one) and had to escort some HVAC workers in our lab while they upgraded some stuff last week. They kept talking about union vs non union and all of them though that $25 an hour was a good wage, and how much they wanted it. 3 of the 4 were easily at least 40. I'm 25 making $105k, and they kept making remarks about how jealous they were of "the people here" when it came to finances.

I have absolutely nothing but respect for blue collar work, but I wouldn't want to work with people who have spent 20+ years working and aren't making $25 an hour yet, because it would mean that I too would remain poor. The real tradepill seems to be starting your own LLC after a few years of experience, and managing the drones who can't move up.

Trades pay ceiling isn't really high unless you are an underwater oil rig welder or something but the real value is being able to tell your boss to suck a dick and get a new job the next day.

I travel a lot, and my hotel rooms are paid for + 80 a day cash per diem, plus bonuses when I'm on the road for more than 2 weeks at a time. I don't get laid off seasonally, either, but can generally take time off whenever I want during the winter... I make 90-110 a year depending on the hours worked, and my benefits are primo.. plus I get to draw pension credits starting at 50. Super comfy.

Bear in mind that as a tinner Ant was the guy installing the heating and cooling systems i.e. he does not get to have heating or cooling when he needs it since it is not there yet. However, Cumia "escaped" that life and traded up for a lucrative radio career. He brought up some of the worst parts of what he did for work because of conversation and also because he could safely look back on all of it. Had the radio job never happened or took off he'd still be there making the best of what he has. He'd cope somehow.

It really depends on the trade and what work you tend to do. A tradesman who is good at their work and who can save their money well can find lines of work where they mount even wait more than they work. I say this as a guy who rifht now reads and plays Hearts in the breakroom more than he has to fit, put in flanges, or weld on average but I'm making >$3k take home pay while doing it.

I feel for the tradefag meme, you work with drug addicts, 3rd world immigrants, and the occasional doomer.
everybody is trying to fuck over each other, snake pay, rinse every last hour of work out of you, and make you their bitch. It fucking sucked. and the pay was complete shit, compared to the effort.

only upside is now I know depression era skills if shit gets absolutely fucked, that and I can work jobs for cash if I absolutely have to, but its not really an income.

fuck that shit, im getting into programming, even if I have to be some shit IT janny helpdesk is better and more pay than eating shit and being tired all the time because you worked 12-14 hours on the jobsite.

kek get a load of this fucking retarded gorilla nigger
Positively seething
I average 100k a year, little overtime, travel all over the US (I'm paid extra to do so), and my job mainly involves some simple math, building specialized lightweight forms, and being able to talk to contractors and dispatchers.. the physical aspect is minor and a very small part of each job.

All of my living expenses are taken care of. I'm provided a rental when I'm out of town and don't have a company truck, a company credit card, my hotels are paid for (sometimes they get us an apartment or airbnb/vrbo), a company phone, my flights are paid for (I'm also paid for my time when I'm flying), plus 80 bucks a day tax-free per diem for food and drink... I barely even touch my paychecks when I'm on the road.
Although it is true that 100k isn't very much these days, if you aren't retarded you can acquire a bit of land and a couple cheap rental properties in 5 years of living frugally.. I've been doing it for 11 years, am approaching my mid 30s, and am more well-off than most everyone else from my graduating class. It helps that I had the sense to not go out and wrack up debt on idiotic shit like brand new vehicles, boats, jetskis, $500 bar tabs, etc..

Picrel, it's a beach house on the gulf of Mexico the company rented for a job in Texas. This is was a shitty quick snapshot that doesn't do it justice, but yeah, it's a super comfy gig. Also, I know Miller Lite is trash but I was working on leftover shit in the fridge from the night before.

I looked into blockchain development and it's so f****** easy. Does it really pay money? I mean who the hell pays for it?

I have the same experience. I was making $25 an hour at my part-time job programming in high school and I knew that wasn't market rate because I also did contract work on the side for like $100 an hour or more. I actually had a buddy who build me out and when he asked me what I want I thought I was asking for the Moon by asking for $30 an hour and he explained to me that he was billing $300 an hour and so he would give me $125 as a subcontractor. And this was like 20 years ago. Imagine making $25 an hour in 2023.

No, the ones who make it are the ones who have enough money to buy a truck and incorporate a company and hire subcontractors or employees. That's the only way you'll actually make any money by billing people out for more than you pay them. I mean if you can have the credit to get one truck and a lawn mower and some yard working equipment, you can put a crew in it and Bill out more than you pay them in an hour. Especially if you manage the crew on site.

Nice looking view there. Also, my parents use the exact same default desktop background on their computer.

>the ceiling
lmao not even close. I could make twice as much as a the project manager/superintendent, but I have no intention of doing that. My life/work balance is perfect. I already own 50 acres, 3 rental properties, a nice crypto portfolio of btc/eth, a safe full of boomer rocks, plenty of ammo, it's all more than I need.

btw, in the month I was staying in that beach house, I ran through a boatload of hot tinder sluts.. how about you? I can tell from the way that you type that you're a broke cunt who still lives with his parents under the guise of "frugality" when in reality you just can't afford anything else.
Let me guess, you're a "software engineer" who makes 300k a year and is super jacked....
Have you paid off your parents mortgage yet? Why haven't you?

Thank you, and yeah we aren't allowed to adjust/modify our work laptops, but I don't give a shit because I only use that hunk of garbage for a bit of paperwork and financials. It is perfectly boomerish to be sipping the miller lite and plunking around on a dated laptop with a windows 95-style desktop theme though kek
