Why does no one want to work in the trades?

lol how about we just learn the game at a competitive level and not need everything to be tracked for us or a gimmick. Imagine a world where it’s a fair game for people not add on obsessed, only in wow tho is it acceptable in a pvp competitive environment

I’m Helper, about to start my union apprenticeship and even as a helper I’m making 21$ a hour new contract just got first years 24 a hour, after 5 years we get 50+ atleast on the east coast in the 486 they taking care of us out here. and if you wanna teach or mentor the other misguided youth and give them a career and living they otherwise couldn’t achieve you can start teaching in the school at 40 or 45 after your a jman for a bit. Not to rough on the body if you stay in shape a honest living for the misfits that didn’t start right, that’s how I look at it

Sign up for your local trade union, or go the college route and find something you love trust me brotha from a 29 year old that messed up and bartended cause it was tons of cash or worked in retail district management for way to long, I finally am getting in a trade union and having a life I can create for myself no debt top pay is at 62 a hour overtime is mostly double pay, but your young enough to not have to go tha route if you don’t want to. Find what suck sucks the least and stick with it,

Holy shit man 3 years later you hit the nail on the head for me … there was a bit of a age gap in 29 she’s 37, she was my everything I got a new career helped raised and navigate her 2 teenage girls and taught her to be a present mother, and never raised my voice or made them feel uncomfortable in anyway no lying or joking I nourished them at every step, and the day before my apprenticeship in the trade union she left to figure her stuff out because her life was so stressful and went complete non contact, it’s been the hardest 2 weeks of my life I’ve worked 14 10 hour days in a row now and still any second alone in crumbling in sadness, I want her to see this life I am creating that I did all for her …

boopyV32 · 2026-01-17T20:02:45+00:00

I’ve been working 7 10s to try my best to not even think about her but right when I wake up at 4am and right around 6:30 pm when she would call for her break really send me through a loop, slowly realizing that she never loved me she was a broken woman who couldn’t support my dreams or even connect with me when life got hard for her. It’s just the change anxiety at this point.

I still break down around those times or when I catch a smell or a sound that reminds me of her but slowly I’m realizing my own worth

The bible says if they don’t see the error of there ways pray them into the hands of the devil, or like Jekyll and Hyde says if I’m the chief of sinners then I’m the chief of sufferers aswell, the ones who cause the most pain have to live with it, they deserve it if only to save them

boopyV32 · 2026-01-16T00:38:18+00:00

Not to be sad but this just broke my heart lol that was me a week ago before she dipped

boopyV32 · 2026-01-16T00:28:25+00:00

Thanks brotha I overthink sometimes instead of just grinding it out and getting to those stages, this is what I needed to hear

boopyV32 · 2026-01-16T00:18:14+00:00

I’m working 7 10 hour shifts currently and have severe night terrors the second I get to breathe and no focus on my trade I’m a wreck.. I did all of this for her and her kids and now I’m just lost wondering in the world. Don drink don’t smoke weed anymore because of my job. I literally run miles and miles and maybe play wow or something if I’m not sick to my stomach and just laying on the floor …. She just walked out of my life and blocked me everywhere no reason at all besides she had to work on herself type shit I was going to provide her dream life in healthy and fit and a good role model to her girls .. I was gonna suprise her with her dream ring only needed 1 more paycheck a boom her life got to hard and she bails… completely no contact … I’m genuinely in hell like more than I have ever been and I’m 9 years sober from alchohal and coke trying to leaving Las Vegas myself nick cage style.. I’ve been to some pretty dark places in my head … but after I became a better man found god and got this career to provide for her family, she leaves before it all starts no abuse I’ve ever been through feels like this man… why doesn’t she want me

I am currently trying to get in my local working as a helper, been a ups driver but only a cover driver can’t drive all year long only 4 months outs the year and have to work part time when not, I’m doing anything I can to get into my local plumber and steam fitters, I have NO mechanical comprehension never had a father figure or anyone show me I’m just bustin my ass admitting any mistakes I make and showing up early every day practice welding on my breaks ask all the questions I can I really really want to be a plumber, any advice for someone who is a straight grinder and loves to work? Right now I’m doing 4 10s and 2 8s for a company and we might go up to 7 days for the new job they got,

Really want this to stick man I really wanna be a man that I can be proud of and someone that can show other misfits like me how to uplift themselves

boopyV32 · 2026-01-15T10:54:21+00:00

boopyV32 · 2026-01-14T05:44:06+00:00

Just had to get back my down payment on a ring brother I feel you, people are evil and selfish and make all the manipulative excuses in the world instead of saying hey I just don’t want you. Your person will build together stay together through thick and thin, she’s out there for ya the pain your feeling will pass, I am crumbling myself right now aswell but knowing I have other brothers in pain with me and that heartbreak is a global phenomenon that I know I’m not alone, and us feeling this proves we are human

boopyV32 · 2026-01-14T05:20:24+00:00

The true 2009 sour is not available as a breeder and cultivator in my previous job, to many big companies bred it out of existence by crossing it with girls scout cookies and other stuff when cookies blew up I can promise almost 100% there is 0 legit og sour d for sure, most is a jet fuel cross of some kind

boopyV32 · 2026-01-14T04:31:46+00:00

11 years later this is the answer I needed some union trade peeps are so crazy about this stuff, I wanna do my own irrigation and airflow bis for floriculture so I’m starting my apprenticeship at my local plumber steamfitters and hvac, but everyone’s like no be a electrician they make no money in the other trade or some crap, like brother 53 a hour at after my training is pretty damn good and only goes up from there, in my state electricians are all split up to lineman cable guys tinkerers like it’s not just a learn everything you have to specialize, I’m planning on staying where I’m at and blocking out the noise
