This is what paying for your own tuition looks like instead of blindly borrowing tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars
This is what poverty workers look like.... $35 an hour is $72,800. Not nearly enough to make it in the bay on. Maybe middle America, but not here. HUD says the poverty line is $104,000 a year.
@@heyaisdabomb For a single person or for a household?
I can't imagine there isn't an immense sense of pride and satisfaction in becoming an expert craftsperson/tradesperson; those skills are rare, and talented, excellent people in those industries rarer still.
Sharp kid!
wearing safety glasses backwards around his neck...ok...."sharp kid"
Good..not all are meant to go to a university
This is a good as college is a financial racket
Ah yes, back breaking work.
This is the consequence of AI. College degree jobs are being taken over by AI. Human can only go back to doing physical work that AI cannot do.
These kids are smart. These careers will be only going up in demand
But the pay doesn't... $35 an hour is $72,800 a year which may be ok in most of the country, but it's not a middle class wage here in the bay area. $104,000 a year is the poverty line in SF according to HUD, you need $360,000 a year in income to qualify for a house loan, day care is $2000 to $4000 a month, rent is $2500 to $4000 a month for a 750 square ft apartment, food at the grocery stores are 2 to 3 times the cost of middle America. This is just setting yourself up for a life of poverty.
Even with experience to make that $35 an hour as that guy says, that's only $72,800. HUD says the poverty line is $104,000 in SF, and you need $120,000 salary just to qualify for a loan to buy a $400,000 house, which doesn't even exist in the bay area, or $360,000 a year to buy the San Francisco starter home.. .So while it's better than minimum wage, but it's NOT a middle class job. You can't buy a house on it, you can't have kids with it. You can't achieve the American dream on it. This is why college is still the best path towards the American dream. You just have to understand which degrees are worth it and which ones are not.
What if someone doesnt want kids nor a home, but instead happily single in a small apartment?
Im sorry but I have to disagree with you. 👎👎👎 It depends on your area and the cost of living in you're area. 70 to 80k can go VERY far in certain states with cheaper rent etc.
Every state in America isn't California or New York. You sound close minded and sounds like you are basing your own opinion off of where YOU live. Get your facts straight. I make about $40k a year currently, wife, and kids at home. I'm able to pay for everything. What you talking about?
@johnmarks714 The person doesn't know what they're talking about. Im a married guy taking care of my wife and kids. Make 40k yearly and live in sc where cost of living is cheaper. I can get by just fine. Facts only applies to states where the cost of living is high.
@@Casual_Talk SC as in Santa Clara? or South Carolina?
it is crazy. my dad was a dishwasher in san francisco chinatown in the 1980s and 1990s. his hourly was like $2.25 per hour or something. my mom was equally below mininum wage. they were able to save and bought two houses. Seeing so many americans living on the street is crazy!!! They don't want to work, live life and end up living in tents on street. Everybody just wants high paying job and buy houses in 3 years...life just don't work like that. everybody works like dogs.
All of them Latinos, no other races That’s interesting.
Of course, the blacks don’t want to work. The Asians think the tech industry is job security even though the companies lay them off every quarter in the thousands and eventually AI will replace them.
crap segment! Join a union and your training is free and you work from the jump.
CET is no good I went to a school like that for building maintenance can’t hold that job even after training I’m stuck working in minimum wage jobs
Why
Because these type of trade jobs are always changing in routine one day you be called to paint a whole apartment or fix a major plumbing issue or hvac for only 20 dollars an hour and one thing you mess up your out the door
Plus the jobs they place you in aren’t the actual company jobs there temp jobs so actually you are a contractor and if for some reason they don’t like you your out of a job after the first day
Then the agency calls you and makes you feel like it’s your fault you got pulled off the assignment
It’s better to go to a community college to learn this type of work the risk is low since you will actually spend 2,000 dollars vs the 20,000 you will spend at CET
Sharp kid
We need more of this in the bay real earned money the right way
Damn it I don’t want to be a plumber though.
Good luck 👍 people can afford CA anymore
That is why they are leaving or escaping. Newsome will soon build a "Berlin Wall"to keep people in
It’s about time this next generation gets involved with the construction trades,instead of being forced into 4 years or 2 years of college.
Sorry, you clearly haven't been to any job sites lately. It's almost entirely immigrants, a large percentage of which are illegal.
