/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Low ceiling trades:
>Carpentry/scaffolding, plumbing, insulators, roofing, small engine mechanics
These jobs can pay livable wages but you will find yourself stuck in city construction, tooling around in a beat up service truck (or your own vehicle), and working with drug addicts/divorcees. I will say that industrial carpenters, concrete workers, and insulators make more money working out of town and do get adequately compensated for busting their asses.
>High ceiling trades: welding (pipeline/stainless steel), heavy duty mechanic, millwrights, electrician/instrumentation, ironworkers
These trades can set you up on a path to impressive 6-figure salaries if you were to attend training for project management, consulting, or power engineering/maintenance contracts.

Tradesmen who take care of themselves, aren't fucktards, have financial smarts, and know not to bring harm to their bodies have many opportunities to land gravy gigs that pay as much or more than post-secondary graduates. Their will always be a need for someone digging with a shovel or hauling material, but you can do some research and take courses to be a guy who TELLS someone how deep a trench needs to be or what kind of equipment needs to be installed

Lawns are status symbols derived from the medieval ages when barons or land owners would have large plots of land that were just for show and not used for agriculture to display the owner's wealth. If you go for a walk in your neighborhood and see a lawn that has poor upkeep or full of trash, chances are the inside of the property isn't taken care of and the owner is lazy, it's the same premise as foot fetishism
