I regret opting out of trades for computer science. The education costs fuck all, your skills can be applied in small towns, and you can study whatever the fuck you want instead of doing continuous education. All that and you can study finance on the side, gain access to other dirt monkies who have ins. God tier.

Low IQ is right. My dad runs a manufacturing company and has told some good rekt stories.

>Dump trailer operator used the hydraulics to try and shake the load out, somehow the mechanism broke and like a trebuchet it snapped forward and crushed the cab obliterating the driver

>Forklift driver was high while moving a big beam and ran into the corner of a building somehow breaking his pelvis in the process

I'm in trades.

More specifically I'm a mobile technician.

I repair satellite controlled, diesel powered mobile refrigerators.

I get a service call and have to drive to a customer. Their unit is broken and usually loaded with 100k+ worth of food which is spoiling by the second.

I have to diagnose what's wrong. Pull apart and rebuild diesel engines. Compressors. Deal with 460v systems, find wiring faults, programming faults all on the fly, in any weather, at any time.

Yes. Maybe you can make a robot what can change a tire. But can this same robot diagnose problems and rebuild an entire car on the fly without any human interaction?

How do I start this trade?

Engineer here, 10 years out of school.

Could’ve been an electrician straight out of high school. If I did that is no doubt be comfy as shit right now, running my own business and managing a crew. I’d be making as much of not more than I do now, and I wouldn’t have to take on $60k of debt to do it.

Worst mistake of my life

I am a late-20’s NEET with crypto money and time to kill. I don’t have “fuck you” money but I can afford a bachelors degree or similar education. I don’t mind working with my hands. So far I’ve been planning to self-teach software development.

What do? Is that a good idea? I think trades seem interesting but I know literally nothing about them.

Machine learning and computer science are likely the only two fields worth pursuing due to exponential increase in compute power.

[Anonymous No.9046921]

I work in the trades. I went to a private high school and a few years of college for CS before deciding I hated that shit. I can say from experience that the kind of people you meet in the trades are generally better people than the people you come across in the professional world. People in the professional world tend to be way too concerned with their image and one upping their peers. Very fake people. People in the trades just seem more genuine in my opinion. Not all concerned about having the biggest house or the newest car. This is just my experience obviously.

At your age, I don't recommend getting into software development unless you can learn things really fast. Otherwise you'll just end up being a low-level code monkey.

My experience with tradesmen has been felons with facial tatoos who speak chicano spainglish and steal from you to support their meth habit. Professionals are just as bad but in their own special psychopathic sorts of ways.

Your wife leaves you for José the yoga teacher and the only work you can find is labouring on a construction site surrounded by real men who constantly belittle you.
It all becomes too much and you decide to go out in a blaze of glory by having a custom made paracetamol buttplug moulded to the exact dimensions of José the yoga teachers Argentinian thundercock.

Loaded truck broken down carrying 80,000lbs of pharmaceuticals. Approx value of the load, 1 million.

Who's more important, the guy who designed It, or the guy who fixes it?

It's all a matter of perspective my friend.

Lol. The average engineer salary is like 80-120k. I think you might be imagining they make a bit more
