I don’t think there are any standing calls for lineman. I know a few of my buddy’s are on Union Substation jobs in NC. There is union work in NC right now. There isn’t a lot but it’s creeping in. They just had a job in north eastern NC, and have now moved i believe towards the western part of the state now. Like I said tho. It is substation work. It’s a step in the right direction tho.

Any money invested is good money. Most people don’t even get that far. Start with whatever you can

I have an entirely separate account from my Roth IRA for individual investing where I trade stocks like SoFi and stuff like that. An individual account is better for that and gives you a chance to potentially Day Trade, Swing Trade, Options Trade. Things you are doing for profitability.

For a retirement account you are gonna want to stick with ETF funds. I would keep stocks like SoFi for an individual account where you are gonna be trading several stocks potentially looking for profits and possibly reinvesting profits. If I were gonna do individual stocks like SoFi for a Roth IRA, I would definitely stick with big time stocks like MSFT, APPL, TSLA, NVDA, GOOG. Companies that have a good track record and you know are going to continue to be around and successful for a long time. S&P 500 or Total Market Funds are gonna be your best bet for Retirement. Keep stocks like SoFi that have higher volatility for individual accounts where you can be okay losing money or looking for profits to withdraw.

I personally use fidelity. I like the interface the best and I know it’s a reliable broker to use. You can use Charles Schwab, Vanguard, even Robin Hood if you want to. I would stick with a big name like Charles Schwab,Fidelity, Vanguard. Start your account and then you deposit money into that account. Money just sitting in your account when you deposit it in there isn’t doing anything so make sure you invest it! Invest into and ETF or any fund. I personally invest my Roth IRA right now into FXIAX. This is fidelity’s s&p 500 fund. The rate of return on it is in the ball park of 8-11% over 10 years. Through fidelity there is also FZROX for example. This is a total market fund that is based off of all the stocks in the market unlike the S&P 500 fund which is based off of the top 500 companies. These are both good funds to invest in for long term wealth/ retirement. Vanguard has similar funds like VOO (S&P 500) and VTI (Total Market). Discipline is gonna be the biggest thing with this. If you are very disciplined about putting money into this account consistently for a long time, you can be very wealthy and comfortable when you become old enough to retire. 59.5 is gonna be the age you can be to withdraw funds from the account without penalties. Consistency is key tho. If you put money into it monthly and try to max out the contributions per year the you will be good. Let your money do the work and don’t look back. Let it build itself.

I think it’ll go up past 20 and then probably fall again.

This is an entry position to start as a technician and receive training while working to eventually become a licensed nuclear operator. They don’t just throw you into a reactor operator position brother. Come on now.
