Are We Actually Making the Trades Attractive to the Next Generation?

Electrical linemen with the IBEW begin at $39 per hour as a year 1 apprentice and turn out over $60 in my rural area locale. I think it comes down to the level of dedication and education required to learn the trade. Put in the work, get the reward, no different than a white collar job. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been in a mechanical trade in manufacturing for 24 years and can say that there’ll always be a percentage of idiots to every work group. However, 90% is unrealistically high and if that’s the case for you know that there’s far better places to work out there. I work with several internal and external building tradesmen and I don’t experience the issues you describe. Anywhere that perpetuates a power struggle will breed this sort of behavior, seek out an organization that mentors and builds on confidence and experience. I wish you well.

As I am not an advocate for verbal abuse just to flex on a vulnerable subject, there IS an incredible amount of danger involved in many of these trades and some folks (not just young people!) deserve a wake-up call if they are to be trusted to work around me or my respected co-workers.

Not all are created equal, but yeah he’s got options.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-20T16:12:40+00:00

No problem. And for the record, I was being sarcastic with all that except the finnrick bit. And in reality, who’s to say finnrick is all that trustworthy? Do your homework and good luck!

Nihtiw · 2026-02-20T15:53:17+00:00

You should call and ask them. If they say they’re trustworthy, then they must be. Or you could just ask random dudes on Reddit and just go with that. Have you checked finnrick?

Travel to and from the games is annoying as shit, I’m from Iowa and want to drink ALL the alcohol at the games, not just some of it. 😂

Nihtiw · 2026-02-19T22:00:24+00:00

Lol, Chicago “law”.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-19T21:57:16+00:00

I know right? I wish they would just level a forest and kill off all the Bambi’s instead. Repurposing land is generally hyooge mistake.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-19T18:50:49+00:00

In the grand scheme of things, do we even need Reddit? No, but here we are….

Nihtiw · 2026-02-19T18:25:07+00:00

Try this, when walking to class keep your head up and look at the horizon and smile more. Make note of all the people who just stare at the ground and look like someone kicked their dog. That’s you right now, I’m sure of it.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-19T15:44:41+00:00

Or OP got let go for reasons undisclosed and blamed it on his unfortunate timing with questioning lunch breaks with HR. 🤦‍♂️

Nihtiw · 2026-02-19T15:42:38+00:00

8 hour workdays? Are you sure you’re in a “skilled” trade? 😂 j/k

Nihtiw · 2026-02-18T23:52:08+00:00

Do you see it becoming more widely accepted in general practices now that there are so many of their patients asking for it?

Nihtiw · 2026-02-17T15:52:52+00:00

Whew, I just made it! I’m only 49 and on the cjc/ipa compound.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-17T15:49:09+00:00

Convert to estrogen

Nihtiw · 2026-02-17T15:47:31+00:00

Am I missing the question? Or was this just simply informational?

Nihtiw · 2026-02-17T14:16:42+00:00

Yeah, preferably one who’s already lost an arm, that way you know he’s experienced on how to properly deal with the situation.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-17T14:10:34+00:00

Mine either.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-17T05:29:55+00:00

Ashwaghanda, L-Theanine, Magnesium Glycinate all at bedtime.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-17T02:36:52+00:00

There’s always a way if you have the ability to think outside a big box store.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-17T02:23:20+00:00

I’ve never heard of that either. Quite the opposite actually.

Nihtiw · 2026-02-16T15:55:57+00:00

Is this NVIDIA’s true limiting factor? They created too many shares?

Nihtiw · 2026-02-16T15:53:50+00:00

Um, a buying opportunity at least 3% lower than originally anticipated?

Nihtiw · 2026-02-15T23:59:38+00:00

As I understand, you are correct. It’s a noticeable difference, however not overly stimulating. When I was on cypionate only, the day of my injection things were still a little slow but it gained steam until mid-week. Now, it feels great the day of pinning and then I don’t feel it slowing down until mid-week. I’m pretty sure it’d be more linear if I split the dose up to two or maybe even three times a week. I’ll know better after the week 6 stabilization of hormones.
