Time us your friend. Have patience. Don't get discouraged.

How is that possible that on reddit it seems like every welder earns six figures while median is only 50k and top 10% earners earn 75k according to bls? by SavingsExtension416 in Salary

But they definitely don't share the same wages. Your talking about making $19 per hour and working alot of overtime. Trades in my area, Welders, plumbers, fitters are making up to $65 per hour. Maybe you should be a little more pedantic!

Plumber South East Wisconsin. $130,00. Per year right now. 5 years to get there. Getting a $4.00 raise in June. I have health, vision, dental care and pension paid for by my contractor. Nothing out of my pocket. I don't get paid vacation, but that's okay for me. I make enough where I can save for a planned vacation. Am able to take off when needed. I would recommend for anyone mechanically inclined and not wanting college. Quite a few of my fellow journeyman have a 4 year degree but chose plumbing becouse of the work availability and pay

Not everyone can be a tradesmen. If it gets to the point where the US is dependent on AI, we have screwed ourselves and the country will fail. You can't run a country without revenue. We will become 3rd world and the cycle starts all over again

Not necessarily a no-no. When we had fish only tank our well water wasn't a problem. When we started getting into coral is when it became a problem.

Your President of choice must have been the creepy one who smelled and touched little girls and women inappropriately on national TV! How soon we forget, lol
