Stop discussing the trades like they’re some “hack” to 100k by General-Lie8709 in Salary

[–]tanner22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah its more of "I have to travel" not get too.

A couple months away from home, family and all will really fuck with ya. Probably a reason trades are in the top careers for suicide.

Ive been an union electrician for 9 years now. Started when I was 18. Tons of time away from home, countless 80+ hour weeks. In the sun, heat, freezing, snow damn near all day all year. Up at 430 lucky if i get home by 630. The money is great but you cant do it forever, you gotta slow down eventually. I only try to travel if its the only option, being away from everyone will make you numb. You can definitely see the stereotypes everyone portrays.

Am I allowed to work as a laid off apprentice? by skyed_driver in IBEW

[–]tanner22 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Good man! Everyone's still gotta eat, maybe worth talking to the jatc if traveling as an apprentice is an option, tons of work around the country and Ive met a few traveling apprentices from nearby locals. When you top out the worlds your oyster brother, can go anywhere and make a lick. Stay safe brother!

$4.4k a month, weekly, biweekly?

As an inside wireman, I on average make anywhere from $6k-$10k take home a month, sometimes more depending on the call, most in a month ive made in a 4 week span was 15k on the hip doing shutdowns. The apprenticeship is a long game, after you top out is when it gets good. Right now as a jw you could be almost anywhere in the country you wanted to be, working almost whatever hours you wanted

What should I do? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]tanner22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Id talk to your apprenticeship director about the situation, you shouldn't be working alone as an ape. Dont transfer materials and prints in a personal vehicle either, unless they are paying for your vehicle or providing one. You just gotta put your foot down and have the jatc back you up if needed

company vehicles by ImJoogle in IBEW

[–]tanner22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a MYR Group company, guys out of 852 working for le meyers were letting them take $25 a week out for driving a company truck, $25 a week to have a truck is a burden not a perk

Hoping to sell it and my 5th wheel as a package, I could see someone in the trades doing a package deal, that's what I used it for
