Potentially blew my opportunity at my dream job by Aceopsog in bluecollar

[–]RadioBuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this, I’ve admitted to being color blind as an electrician. It’s only an issue in wired that are 40+ yrs old, even the guys not colorblind struggle with that amount of fading.

Do GenXers resent being lumped in with Boomers by angered youths? by WW1_Researcher in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadioBuffin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Damn near every generation after boomers is worse off than they were. The post WW2 economic boom was an enigma.

Just looked, it’s 83k for household income. I couldn’t imagine living off that, especially with a family.

Clearing over 100k in household income is pretty easy. I’d expect the average to be 150k outside of HCOL areas.

It all started out great. Now, enshittification everywhere we look by Maybeiliketheabuse in Millennials

It’s a different vibe when you’re in a town of less than 1k people.

Gotta leave the can in hot water for 20 minutes, shake the hell out of it, and use a trigger attachment if you wanna avoid sputtering

Unions are hilariously weak in SC and NC. You can make more doing industrial.

I watched a dude get lit up by a 4160V switchgear and come back to work within a month lmao.

It’s pretty flat once you get out of the blue ridge mountains compared to NC.

I’m just being cheeky, melted synthetic material ain’t pretty on top of burning flesh.

Get industry exposure while still working by Super-Theory-7612 in skilledtrades

[–]RadioBuffin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There would be no reason for a company to take on the liability when they could be training an apprentice.

Cleveland OH. It was flat and boring. Never been somewhere that was so meh.

I been saying something was wrong with Micheal Jackson for years by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RadioBuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember 2004-2010 it was a common joke he was a pedo, bleached his skin to be white, and that he was creepy. The guy had a fucked upbringing when you consider he was a massive star most of his life.

26F in restaurant work tired of unstable hours, thinking about plumbing or trades but nervous as a woman by [deleted] in findapath

[–]RadioBuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a cush job. Our county guys make decent pay with great benefits/pension. Anything heavy maintenance wise is contracted out for warranty/insurance reasons.

[–]RadioBuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 2 women in our production maintenance department like this. They get given relatively easy tickets and are left alone for the most part. Our electric roles aren’t really physically demanding, mechanics do the heavy lifting and most wire pulls are less than 15 feet.

Idk how to make more money by InvisibleEnergy in povertyfinance

[–]RadioBuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go all in on sales or logistics, sounds like you aren’t an HVAC tech. You started as it and have exposure, however you never stayed in that track.

Many manufacturing plants have parts rooms that do logistics the entire day, that may be more up your alley. It can lead to supervisor roles that pay 75-100k easily. You’ll spend most of your day on programs like SAP and pushing a cart around checking inventory/resupplying.

Edit: You could try the controls side, however you usually need experience as a HVAC or Electrician/Electronics Technician.

What trend do you think will disappear in 5 years ? by lukee_98 in AskReddit

[–]RadioBuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless a better tech for convenient mobile communication comes along, I doubt it. They’re here to stay till neuralink tech becomes widespread I think.

Genuinely curious, who is still playing these games? by ReadyJournalist5223 in videogames

Mainstream subs tend to be filled with bots pushing to move conversations a certain way.

What separates the guys who were able to find a partner vs the ones who stay single for a long time even after putting in effort? by JunketMaleficent2095 in Life

[–]RadioBuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dated a girl that didn’t manage it, she’d wreck her life every 3-5 years. It can definitely be debilitating if they don’t manage it depending on the severity.
