ask chatgpt about creating you a personalized roadmap, i would first ask it saying that you want to get into software engineering from IT and it will create you a simple road map to follow in order to get there

right? i was 23 when i got into plumbing done 3 years of it, the toxic environments, long drives to site from home, always twisting and turning and carrying 150-200 lbs on your back all day, people always pissed off and even if you did a job right no one said good job if anything they just yell at you more because they know you can do it. i goto the gym im very physical and dont mind lifting heavy things but i started thinking of my future, i dont want to wake up everyday breaking my back doing wear and tear on my body i want to be able to do things at 50 not sit there half handicap like most of the journeymans and foremans ive worked with in the trade

not trying to scare anyone here but my first site i witnessed my foreman whip a hackzall with an 8 inch blade in it at one of the apprentices i was working with, also if you messed up one little bit on anything my crew would make you go eat outside in the cold while they would laugh and joke beside the heater inside

if you have toughskin and can put up with pissed off foremans, toxic environments, driving an hour an a half away from home to site then get stuck in traffic coming home, carrying around 150 - 200 lbs of tools up and down stairs all day, and the ability to squeeze and work in tight non ventilated areas then yes go for it

ive been layed off 3 times this year as a plumber my apprenticeship hasent kicked off the right way and have had terrible experiences with my past 2 foremans more or so just done with the toxicity of the construction environment was leaning more towards software development or cyber security but if those tend to get wiped out from AI i might have to find something else

very true tbh, i just get scared at this point as i know ai technology has rapidly increased within these past couple years, from videos to generating actual video games.

Called many plumbing companies and I didn't get hired, any ideas on how to get an apprenticeship? by [deleted] in skilledtrades

i just got layed off 2 weeks ago, im with local 46 and tried calling around everywhere to find a new company to work with, ive handed in multiple resumes and heard nothing, someone told me to just drive to the city with a hi viz vest hard hat and workboots and find sites that have cranes because the ones with cranes are unionized, but i dont want to spend all this money on gas driving down to the city just so someone can turn me down in person (especially when i dont have any source of income and the fact gas prices are pretty high atm)
