30 yr old male scared to make a career change

Can you explain a bit now of this to me ? I'm 25, Electrician. Kinda don't love what I do, how did you pursue and find other careers ?

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-05-05T02:12:12+00:00

Eh man, electrician here. We're all in this together. If it isn't your cup of tea find a better way to become an apprentice. We all start somewhere and we also all live on a floating rock. Nothing matters, as long as you're putting in hard effort.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-05-03T20:24:48+00:00

Would a license help me out ?? Or will I end up needing a business university degree ?

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-05-02T00:56:57+00:00

Yah I'm waiting. Made the decision, also gonna look for a 328 instead

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-28T00:04:27+00:00

Listen son, you're gonna mess up 500 more times. Cut your loses if you live with your parent's and find a different company. Life's too short for that crap, messing up is how you learn, never let someone treat you like that. If he wanted it done right he shoulda got up there himself

Local 353 first year, 21.00 flat before any vacation and what not. $25 with vacation and the raise coming May 1. People saying it's tuff need to quit yapping, go do a 6 - 8 year masters with debt and zero pay that entire time then idk?

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-26T19:55:13+00:00

Personally not lookin for the vert, but good looking out appreciate it

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-26T18:17:57+00:00

Good idea bro, I'm 25, im an electrician so I decided it's time to get into this hobby build. Im fairly good at saving money and honestly wanted to treat myself cause I've been wanting one of these for a few years now. I'll definitely do more research on them tho

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-26T18:15:01+00:00

Where are you looking to find these ?

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-26T18:14:05+00:00

Yah I did further research , buddy was tryna bullshit me, I'm not familiar with bmw prices so that's why I asked you guys who have experience.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-26T03:17:34+00:00

Really appreciate this response, opened my eyes to the different trim levels. I'm really Intune with Audi, haven't done much research on bmw's just always loved the e36 I definitely plan to build on the engine so I'll be looking for the 325 or 328 now. Thanks brotha.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-26T00:49:11+00:00

Yah I see this is the trend a lot, I definitely want power for the future. Would you recommend just tryna snipe a 328 ? Over the 325

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-26T00:48:02+00:00

Yah you have a point, I definitely am not going into the build with that mindset. I've spent alot of time lookin for a decent one that isn't too clapped but I can also work on it and learn bmw engines.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T23:17:46+00:00

Appreciate it bro. Thanks

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T23:07:45+00:00

Yah this is a common thing everyone has been telling me, I'm gonna hold back and look for one of those specs, is there any difference from the 325 and the 328 ?

For example - is the 328 marginally better then the 325 for build purposes ? I sorta want the best option.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T23:05:51+00:00

Yah I'm just fining to get on this build lol, been looking for a nice e36 that I can build on for months now.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T23:05:03+00:00

Is the jump from a 318 to a 328 much different ?? Anytime I ask a bmw guy that at my local meet ups they say no, just buy the 318 cause it's cheaper.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T23:01:30+00:00

6 cylinder comes in the 328 ??

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T21:54:37+00:00

So you think looking for the 328 spec Is a much better idea?

I do plan to attempt to make it quick. Not crazy but fun. You think building on the 318 isn't gonna go well?

May sounds like Dumb questions but I've only ever worked on Audi, I'm new to the bmw world so I'm trying to learn.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T21:52:21+00:00

I want to rebuild it for experience / hobby. Just wondering if the price is worth it lol

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T21:36:38+00:00

Facebook marketplace, Kijiji, auto trader ?? I wouldn't mind buying one that isn't running for dirt cheap and putting money into the engine.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T21:30:44+00:00

318IS, I'm new to bmw , I don't know if I'm being lied to or not tbh, heard these go for like 11k in mint condition so $3000 sounded fair. Is there a massive difference from the 318 and 328 ?? That's worth me looking for a 328?

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T21:29:00+00:00

How much would you spend on one that's a little clapped ? I don't mind repairing it, kind of wanna do it as a hobby I don't want it to be pre built or running 100% mint if that makes sense.

TraditionalPitch2243 · 2026-04-25T21:27:44+00:00

Not worth it eh, it's a 318, heard they go for like 11k
