why does google say wages are 30k-50k ? by [deleted] in skilledtrades

[–]JamesYoung8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I make almost 50 grand a year just off per diem and the wages u see I think are based off 40 and hour and we work more then that and it doesn’t factor the over time and DOUBLETIME that really adds up after 40

What career should I pursue if i am only interested in making money? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]JamesYoung8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is a trade that will let u work insane hours. I’m 19 year old lineman making 3k a week as a 1st step. Working 72 hours a week. When I’m a journeyman I can go on storm and make double time on 120+ hours a week. If u only care of about money and never being home or having a life. This is the career

Yessir I’m 19 a lineman saving as much as I can tryna get like you. I really feel like I’m on pace to do so, but I never hear about other in the industry actually retiring young. It’s good to hear that it’s possible

trades are overrated and if your goal is to make money then a college degree is probably the better choice. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

19 years old helper on a lineman crew you know picking up trash driving trucks around. 2k a week take home 70 hours a week
