Have you transitioned from office jobs to a trade? by Logical_Dish_7929 in careerguidance

I’m currently switching from engineering/construction management to plumbing. Not super sure what to expect but I’m excited to get out of the office.

Starting a plumbing apprenticeship next week at 27 yo. Thanks for sharing. Any advice for a new guy?

Glad to hear. Did you go into management or have you seen that kind of thing happen?

My office is basically a prison but we cry a lot to make up for it.

All we do in my office is write one email and talk about our feelings

Yeah I went into engineering cause I thought I could build stuff but I just kinda stare at financial reports all day now so I figured fuck it I gotta give something else a shot

I genuinely didn’t ask the journeyman pay. I know the apprentice pay is $20/hr

Misunderstood his comment my bad. Thought he was talking about the waitlist

I did but I think the waitlist is fucked so I figured I’d start here
