If your current career doesn’t pay you enough for you to support yourself and your family you should definitely change careers.
Changing careers was one of the best things I could've done for myself and my family.
Just about every job is repative once the newness is gone.
Yup.
I was an enginner for a few years then transitioned into programming and the jobs are always close to repetitive
Yes go into HVAC. Good pay and always have work. HVAC doesn’t have to be repetitive. Many different types of systems and applications.
Union electrician here…join the trades.
I've been doing HVAC for nearly 20 years straight. It's kept me busy through a recession and pandemic. All careers have there pros and cons. Pick one and stick with it.
But is it good on the muscles and bones?
How do you get training?
Must not have watched the whole video
I fell into plumbing because there was an opportunity to make some good money, im still doing it, i dont love it or hate it, but if i fall into something that pays more im hopping on the train. So for ppl who dont know what they wanna do for a living i say jump from job to job that pays the highest
Years ago, Tennessee Ernie Ford sang "I owe my soul to the company store." Guys who mechanic for a living owe theirs to the tool truck. Great tools, cost an arm and a leg, and they will set you up on an easy payment plan, LOL. Tool truck pulls into the parking lot and grown men act like children when the ice cream truck rolls through the neighborhood.
Newsflash: this guy becomes an HVAC technician, he is still going to be buying specialty tools.
Not very need special tool on hvac. The special need on hvac, very some special case. A lot expensive tool should supply by shop.
unfortunately, theres such little guidance or exploration for young people to actually find out what they want to do. As Dave criticized, they often don't have much guidance or give bad guidance and the kids end up aimless in life.
This is true. Some kids turn out not knowing what to do because they have not been properly guided on what they should and must do with their lives.
well isnt that what school and general studies at college is for? its where you figure out what you like and dont like and what your good at and not so good at. thats why every teenager should be taking as many subjects and extra curricular activities that they can do without being burnt out. when your young you have all the free time and energy so dont waste it. do sports, art, music, science projects, building computers, etc. you should already have a good idea on what you like and ideally your job shouldnt feel like "work" if its something your passionate about.
@@maximustrolleus9860 No, general studies is a continuation of high school completing base level credits toward an associates or bachelors degree. You don't explore careers or jobs, your just complete basic classes. most "subjects" or extra curriculars have nothing to do with careers or long term job opportunities.
@@Sizukun1 not really, whats your definition of general studies? high school doesnt really teach you much like taking an economics or a finance class is only available at the college level. and how do you know if your meant to be a financial person without diving deep into that subject to truly know if your passionate about it? like political science, psychology, robotics, engineering, accounting, HR, entreprenuership all wasnt taught at high school and are only taught at college level. and that is exactly how you explore careers. if you wanna be an economist, you have to take economic classes right?
@@maximustrolleus9860 My definition has nothing to do with it; universities don't offer courses to put young people into applicable jobs or careers with good salaries.
Fyi mechanic newbies don't get peer pressured into buying off the snapon/Matco tool truck no shame in buying cheaper brand tools elsewhere especially for the expensive tool boxes.
As a mechanic you need more and more tools, they are expensive, requires big toolbox. Debt. Low pay. You get paid book time but no vehicle ever goes according to book time. It is a hard way to work. Diesel mechanics earn more but hard.
Working on vehicles as a mechanic is terrible pay. You have to buy your own tools, pay is mediocre, and is rough on your body. Get into working was a manufacturer plant technician or field Service technician. All my tools are paid for by my company, and I carry them in a small carry tool case.
And it pays loads more.
Thinking about this topic myself for the past few months
Industrial maintenance isn't repetitive, but the point of all trades is some form of repetition, that's how you get good at anything
You can make great bunches of money in any career if you just make up your mind to be the best there is and insist on being paid accordingly. And you're less likely to get bored because people will start bringing you problems nobody else can solve.
I agree. Having to be compensated well fuels a hardworking man. Working people should be considered as an investment by their employer - they should be well taken cared of and well compensated.
I strongly agree with you Peter and Olga. Being known to troubleshoot well comes with dollar signs. Figuring out problems that no one else can fix is extremely rewarding....in my career and to my pocket book.
Find purpose, great advice!
HVAC is mechanical as well, he should take time and think what he really want.. I would tell him to go to your local union apprenticeship program, it’s free and you get the best training.
What about the Bethel Tech oppurtunity if you don't have a background in Tech?
I think Dave gave him an Underhanded compliment
I don't get the "buying tools" thing. Yes, you buy some tools that you want, but the guys I've talked to get the tools they need bought by the company. They only have to pay if they lose them.
Unless of course they are tools themselves.
You have to buy your own tools when taking the classes.
@@ravenestrella2310 True, but just buy the basics. The rest can come later.
Worked as an auto mechanic for many years before transitioning into diesel truck/heavy equipment repair. There's plenty of shop provided tools: the hoists, alignment racks, tire mounting/balancing machines, freon machine, etc etc... Mostly the big stuff that is considered part of the shop itself. As far as your basic hand tools and air tools go you provide those yourself. Spend the money once on good quality stuff with a lifetime warranty and don't worry about it.
@@admiralrustyshackleford119 All good advice. I was talking to a cable installer, and the company buys all of their tools - drills, cutters, etc. But they have to buy the replacement if it gets lost.
David, Most of the time I agree with you. But in this time you are advising a young man (20yo) not to take a chance and better himself. If he can't take a chance now, when can he? (when he is 35 with a small family)?
What is the Assessment? I would love to take it.
Maybe Aircraft Maintenance. Great pay and most tools carry over
Every job is repetitive, that’s how you get good at something. Some things Ramsey says is good but take his advice with a grain. All debt isn’t bad debt and hate they teach this.
I agree. The thing is having to work on a repetitive job that pays you a little because of its nature of being repetitive is not a good idea as it is not helping you grow and doesn't give you much of a character development.
Yes
Yeah but remember Dave comes at it from angle of changing people's mindset towards debt. It's not just for the guy on the phone but for the listener. He could have a nuanced one time answer but he doesn't deviate from his principles he made for the show/course.
trades such as welder, plumber, hvac. can't ship those jobs overseas!!
But you are going to regret it when you get older. The wear and tear on your muscles and bones is not worth the $.
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303why you get some insurance & invest yo money
As long as your "content" with it
I have a car debt that has went to collections. They’ve sent me letters with options to pay in full or pay 60% of the total debt. The debt is for about $10k. Should I pay this debt? In full or the 60%?
I would negotiate it down to like 50%.
Life is repetative. you sleep, eat, use the bathroom, all on a schedule. And what is a schedule but repetitive actions?
The only time you are going to feel forced to make money is if you wife up or the cost of living in the area is eating into your old salary. Most single people can live on like $50k.
I live up in the northern states, my base salary before any OT is 54k, I’m single no debt, and it’s comfortable
@@justinechamelle9535 Woot!
Yes yes u should
I chose my career because I was just out of high school and didn't know what I wanted to do. The classes were available so that's what I did. Now I'm considerably older and it has been a good career but I cannot say it was my 1st choice. I wish I hadn't been pressured, not by my parents but more by society saying "you have to make a decision now". Maybe this kid could look into some internship programs in various fields and see what seems to fit.
That's the saddest thing about it, society puts too much pressure on us without knowing how it impacts or affects our life. I hope you did well though throughout the years you've been working. I wish you all the best :)
I did the same thing I pursed new construction plumbing Bc I my parents said it paid good I’ve only seen a dollar increase in pay after 2/3 years of working for the company and now I feel like it’s too late to start college and I absolutely hate working constructions it’s extremely boring and repetitive and the pay in my experience is awful
Get some IT certs and get into cybersecurity or network engineering. I did and it paid off tremendously.
Hes young. He should go into comptuer science. I did CS and graduated at 21 and signed for 90k.
Hes 20 making 12 bucks an hour.
How long did it take you to get certified in cybersecurity.
@@jii4247 It took me a year to get my certifications and I landed a job soon after.
@@BelterLoader ok cool. What are the typical hours you will work.
@@jii4247 Typical 9-5 with every other Friday off.
I think the military would be good for him to pick his career options. He’s still young
His call was about more money. Young people in the military basically make minimum wage.
That is terrible advice
@@JR-wu8gf military offers great benefits and pay is based on rank. once he gets out he will have a better idea. They also have mechanic and hvac jobs in the military.
@@dextertanner5749 i know all about that. When i graduted college i looked into becoming an officer but quickly looked elsewhere when i founs out the pay was 48k starting.
I made 40k as an intern so it didnt make sense. I graduated at 21 and signed for 90k after college.
If youre young college is not the best option if you want to make good money.
@@JR-wu8gf military pretty much pays for everything. Your living expenses, college and healthcare. Pros and cons to every situation, but from what he was saying I think the military would be good for him. He seems to be indecisive and the military will help guide him to the right direction. Who knows he might continue to be a mechanic
Didn’t even listen yet but the answer is yea, unless you already make over $150k
He sounds like vitalik buterin the ceo of Ethereum lol.
Yeah they wonder what mechanics are leaving the industry and new people aren’t starting there 15$ per hour lol I have over 200000$ in tools make 70$ per hours as a mechanic at my house no overhead besides insurance and heat/ac
Still buying tools though lol
Yes I will if I make more money 🤑 why not
I listened to an uncle. Dumb idea.
So many opportunities for mechanics or HVAC, take your pick. Try it, see if you like it. You're young. You will make back the training costs quickly. I think Dave is wrong, take the $ from Dad, just pay it back as soon as you can.
why cant people just sit back and wait to be told what to do , when to do it and how to do it ? whats wrong with that . I consider that word ambition to be a swear word .
Auto mechanic at a dealer sucks. Stay away from that.
Dont they pay more than mom and pop shops?
Idaho Follas? Dave you need to hire better sir.
Hire better?? You mean Hear??
@@freedomfan4272 BOTH
Fake Clapping at the begging 😂😂
Get out of auto repair as soon as you can
🤓✌👌👍🖖😎
Dave is a pompous fool. Stop telling people what they want to do
