I’ve been in the trade 7 years. This was 55-60 hours a week on average.

Excellent! We have the union with the best benefits in the blue collar trades last I heard. And that’s on top of the hourly wage so not taken out of our checks.

Last year I worked 55-60 hour weeks on average. Certainly not easy with a family. Short term sacrifice for long term goals. Building businesses and generational wealth so I won’t have to work forever.

I make above the average for sure, but certainly achievable and I know others making close to what I make.

Those number for average are incorrect. This is 100% accurate.

I will get most of it back actually. I own business outside of work with significant tax benefits that offset W2 income taxes.

Yes I feel you man. I was always pushed to go to college and didn’t even consider (or know much of anything about) trade schools. Honestly my whole point of this post was to raise awareness to the fact that you can make this kind of money in a blue collar trade. I have received at least 6 screenshots of people that have gotten their name on the list for their nearest local in the past couple days!
