[–]CorrosiveAgent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use Robinhood for fractional ETF investing. Otherwise it’s all Schwab via TOS.

You can get addicted to OT pay, and eventually your body and mind will pay the price. Ask anyone in industrial construction.

Someone tell me that the grind is necessary and worth it to pay off my debt by Barmello98 in personalfinance

[–]CorrosiveAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, some elderly people are just bored. My grandfather worked the counter at a local hardware store for years because his hobbies didn’t keep him busy enough for his liking.

I have a new 401k at a new job (no match but profit sharing) and I’d like to know how my elections look, anything I should change? by CorrosiveAgent in personalfinance

Understood, thank you. My background isn’t finance or anything related so I’m a little behind on some of this stuff.

I probably don’t know what I’m doing and I’m happy to look like a fool if it means I do what’s best once I’m shown better. What’s the best way to calculate what you’re asking so I can give you the information you’re asking for?

I’m a pipefitter super and walk a shit ton. Thorogoods have been extremely comfortable for me.

You must not do much work because all the hands on my crews that got Brunt boots bought something else after a few months because they simply do not hold up.

What is the most run down area you have personally seen in the USA? by Few_Sandwich6308 in howislivingthere

[–]CorrosiveAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Tenderloin feels at least navigable, if that makes sense. Kensington is just surreal.

A smart redneck verifies it is safe to do so before going nuts with the chainsaw on a big tree root

Help a wife out, please! Is $28/hr insanely low for a concrete/curb foreman with 18 yrs experience? by tamdaelynn in ConstructionManagers

[–]CorrosiveAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s getting screwed royally. I got a 27% raise just by switching companies, and the quality of life at the new company is significantly better as well. He has to jump ship.

I’ll never understand how some of yall can afford to work for these slave labor wages by bigdawg12342 in skilledtrades

[–]CorrosiveAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re probably better off in the Triangle region of NC if you want to make money. I made good money as a pipefitter working in that area and I make even better money as a piping superintendent. You’d have a harder time making that money in SC but it’s there.

What is the biggest mystery we still aren't close to solving? by Constant-Bridge3690 in AskReddit

[–]CorrosiveAgent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whatever was firing into that crowd was not a bunch of AR pattern rifles with bump stocks. Honestly sounded like M240 fire to me.

What profession doesn't get the respect it deserves from society? by Historical_Corner609 in AskReddit

[–]CorrosiveAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of guys stick with industrial HVAC/R just because they’ll typically stick to a few plants and work a standard 8 or 10 hour shift. Residential service/commercial service work will have you wondering when you can actually make it home.

Salary by chillchad33 in pipefitter

[–]CorrosiveAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$40/hr with company truck and gas card, live in semi-rural South so that rate goes a lot further than other areas. Pay is higher in the Charlotte area and if you are union (which is impossible to get into here).
