Haha welding give me a break. When I was young I worked at a machine shop that had fabrication departments and let me tell you, welding is a miserable job. Summer time comes around and you’ll be baking your butt off in those coveralls. Plenty of six figure jobs in tech where you get to work from home. Besides, when I dropped out of college initially it was all the welders that told me to GET BACK INTO SCHOOL! Very thankful for the older guys talking sense into me in those days.
Hvac or electrician is bettet
High school graduates should continue their education whether it’s college, trade, tech, or vocational. Life-long learning should be everyone’s goal.

@@SGYLT12School is a waste of time, not education. There’s other forms of learning that are useful rather than your traditional “be in debt and find a job not in the field of your ‘expertise’”. I’m 25, dropped out of high school, found a job that didn’t even require any trade school training and making a little over 100k before overtime. My job is SUPER easy. Full benefits and all. Sure, not everyone is going to be in my situation. But unless you really want to go for something that requires a high level of education and you’re passionate about it, don’t waste your time. It’s really not necessary.
She still can get educated from works. The only education you needs in this world is finance education and political. Having a doctor/engineer degree does not guarantee that you can paid for your life. Costs of living today is crazy. After 4 years of college, most students cannot survive with their minimum entry-level wages, however after 4 years i am sure she owe nothing and own houses/cars..... I think college is a wastes of time and money and your life. However, education is not. I think she made the right decision. At the end, making money is important. If she want to go to college she can certainly do that in her later years. There was an old lady who graduated with a Dr/PhD degree when she was in her 90 plus.
@@simplyinsaneytI met most of my friends from school, that’s how we learn to socialize.. it’s more than just about textbook learning
@@jameswhitaker4357 Nobody needs to go in debt to socialize.
Trade jobs won't get taken over by robotics or AI either.
Lol, yeah you're right except AI with or without robotic tools will, by necessity, eliminate the trade completely. Anyone for basket weaving college? Maybe fur trapper? And now with PEX, the plummers' bending, soldering & measuring skills aren't needed.
The only way to be a tradesman these days is with custom work. As soon as 10 or more widgets are needed, labor is decreased & mechanization is increased.
There's no hope for a Cabinet Maker at Ikea or Wal-mart. Same is true for an Upholsterer at Pier One or Home Goods.
Starting, owning & building a trades labor company is really the way to make a buck because no one wants to be a tradesman at 50.
Just illegals
Absolutely..the trades are awesome..
Nope, just the ILLEGAL immigrants. Apparently welders love their job getting taken. This is second time I posted this comment.
Until the trades you come to know ask you to do some “balancing act” with life, then you die because you can’t say no. Coming from the trades. They love these kids that breathe in asbestos, yank on conduit, or wedge between railings to set anchor bolts on a grease duct install….. coming from the trades, stay in school kids.
As a RN biggest regret of my life. Its literally slavery in a nursing home or hospital.
How so? Rn make easy 100k a year.
Join a nurse's labor union... The whatever state your in "nurses association"!
They said the same for the automotive industry supposedly a mechanic was set to make 180k a year back in 2008 today im struggling to make that salary there is no demand for that field so pay remains low.
my grandson, who just graduated high school, is enrolled in TN college to learn to become a welder. We all couldn't be more proud of him!
Your grandson is going to end up being a serf
Laugh out loud you can learn how to weld in an hour you have a little chat with the stuff that you need to weld with the tools
When I was a welder they were so desperate for workers I showed up to my interview drunk. When the guy asked if I would show up on time every day I said "more often than not" and that was enough for him to reluctantly give me the job. My only welding experience was a class I took in high school.
I'm a welder fabricator/machinist best career
@@Jake-mv7yoThen you're a back yard welder, you have to be certified on every piece of metal you touch if you want a trades job. You're obviously uneducated in the field
Nice to hear a good story for once! And so true!
My son joined the Army ROTC and is a nurse. Good field. I went into HVAC then ended up home remodeling.
I’m 40 went to college and desperately looking for change this is BS no there isn’t apprenticeship are hard to come by
Trades are needed
I am retired from welding. Out of all the years I spent welding. I regret none of that. Made a great living at it!
@@awefaweffea4111, not near enough of both. Especially doctors at the moment. Nurses as well. As for welders and fabricators, the need will greatly increase if manufacturing starts to come back to the US to even 30% of what it was prior to 2003. Your "yeah but" is not fact based .
@@awefaweffea4111depends on the area.
When you started did you have to pay 1k just to prove you could do it?
@Kyle-pv8pr not at all! I look back at all the structures and ships I welded on with a great deal of accomplishment and pride. Even now I am still asked to weld at my age of over 70 years old!
My Dad learned to weld on ships in the Navy and remained a welder until he retired. He was always very proud of what he did for a living.
I went to college and got a degree but most days I wish that I had gone into the trades. I’m a senior construction manager, which is what I went to school for and I make good money, but I work a lot of hours and don’t get paid by the hour… Some of the trade partners I work with make the same or even more money than me working 45 hours a week. The best thing about trade work is you can always start your own business. If you’re an employee or a construction manager, you always rely on trades to get the job done
I went to A&P trade school when I was young, got into QC, then Chemist at a packaging plant then into the Maintenance field. Now I have been in plant management thru the rounded knowledge I gained. No college degree. Earn over 150K as a part time consultant in my field, do equipment upgrades, programming drives and controllers and modernizing older equipment, manual machinist. Phone rings off the hook because not enough young people getting into the trades. Trained an ex Army helicopter crew chief to replace me and he is doing awesome. Support our vets!
I worked at a Furniture Factory and we had edgebanders and this one tore up and the owners have the inventors come in to fix the machine and they couldn't do it I spent less than 40 minutes looking at it and fixed it somebody had sprayed one of the sensors with oil
I’m an Air Force f15 engine maintainer, still trying to figure out what I want to do when I get out of the military.
Corporate America, Government and GREED has ruined the unions and the “Trades” for a hundred mile radius around me in Ohio in the non union sector is paying the same hourly wage it payed 25 years ago when I started in the “Trades” as a welder. But the wages have remain stagnant for all the crafts in the area. Not a livable wage by today’s standards.
Did you say unions on a fox thread? They want cheap skilled labor not from the boarder. Lol they are delusional at this point. There is too much of a disconnect from people making over 300k a year.
Thank you for telling this fact honestly.
Exactly, and it will keep getting worse.
I'm a comfortably retired Union pipe fitter who routinely earned six figures for the last fifteen years of my career. I put two children through college. Neither is working in their chosen majors. I make more on my pensions than they make working. Both have been employed at their jobs for over a decade.
I was a pipe welder Since 1985 I work for the oil companies. I made a six figure income. I retired with 3.2 million dollars. No school loans.. No college degree. I made more than most college people could ever make. I retired in 2020 making 245,000 per yr. Yes there is a lot of overtime..
Working 9-5 doesn’t cut it. Overtime is what gets u ahead. I used to complain that we were allowed forced overtime.Not now. Retired at 60 and never looked back .
You retired at the right time my friend 😂. The light at the end of is younger guys tunnel is a train coming head on 😢
Trades work sucks you guys can have it 😂😂😂
@@noahhamilton1026 I won’t argue with you there lol.
Can’t do that anymore but it’s still a good job
I feel sometimes welders don't make enough for the extreme conditions they have to work in but for the most it's decent for starters but to make more have to really kick it up on the extreme welds and conditions from confined space ,working in dangerous service pipes ,to heights, and extreme weather 👏
Professional house painting since high school, 1983. I Retired at 52 in Southern CA, now living in beautiful Thailand..Trade work is very comendable & profitable.
Yea I guess. Probably too little too late. The propaganda usually wins. If you were smart 15 years ago you got into tech, college or not, trades have always been there. The nepotism and competition for the best blue collar jobs are almost as bad as the academic path. Longshoreman, (electrical) meter shop, county inspectors, etc.... It can be its own hell
Absolutely, Mike Rowe has his head up his B@#$
everyone is in tech. just become an engineer or even a doctor. Those are people trained to solve issues they are needed no matter what, but in tech, the amount of software becoming developed overseas for peanuts is growing.
They also said that about truck driving
What’s wrong with truck driving?
@@oddballchic nothing. But very under paid
@@Johnebegood Interesting, thanks for the insight, I had no idea.
Yeah you gotta be careful. There is no shortage of truck drivers, they were lying.
Funny he said try it. Every old man doesnt want some young person to "take their job" let alone take on an apprentice that truly doesnt know one thing about the trade. So ya once again sounds good until you actually try it
If there's an employee shortage as he stated, why would they worry about being replaced?
@@africaribinsecurity
My two nephews just graduated their trades schools. One electrician one welder now with their journeymen card making 100k plus a year.
Lies
@@joshuagibbs9752 said the loser with zero prospects.
I'm a strong believer you need to learn a trade working with your hands. Woods, electrical, metals, plumbing, and other handy stuff even if you don't go into it as a career. It's just a second layer of protection for yourself and something to add to your resume.
Good job Dad
Got an associates degree in business in 1978 I paid for on my own working nights. When i graduated the assistant plant manager where I worked moved on, I got the job, and in five years I was plant manager and directed the Quality control program at the same time. I moved on to one of the largest manufacturers of heavy equipment in the customer quality service sector. I covered five countries besides the USA. It is more than what your education is people, its your willingness and dedication to become excellent at what you do.
Cool if you were born 10 years later there were no jobs and it would have taken you years to move up only to get crushed by inflation and corporate greed. By the year 2026 you would probably be thrown into fox forced labor correction camps as the make America great again again agenda under the would now be referred too as God Trump and national Nascar days will be your only day off where you will be force feed budweiser.
But in the end, you still built someone else's dream and really accomplished nothing.
@@RowdyEnt.I have a wife a large home overlooking a lake with a beach and near a wonderful school, and a life we had three babies in two years twins the second time i had great insurance a world wide employer who had awesome 401K matching, I made enough to put three kids through college I own property, and have life long fiends from my work place. WTF else do I need? I have enough money to do what a man like me wants to do. I say I accomplished happiness. i am very happy. Well until brandon got planted, and that will be rectified. And you say I accomplished nothing? HAH! My life is filled with love. You could never match what I have is my guess.
@55points Sounds like a stable life. I have three businesses, which run themselves. 38 years old, wife, kids, all the toys. I was just pointing out it's better to build your own dream instead of taking orders.
Most of this generation are too soft to make it in the trades
Like the story she looks like she's going to do something with her life

😊 nice job
Bro I applied at every job in my area at 17-19 and no one called me. Only place that called me was from Texas. And I'm no where near Texas this was in 2014 now. Everywhere seems you have to know someone to get Into a job and it shouldn't be that way. Hire ppl and see their process man it's already hard out here. I drive a forklift but it's still not enough pay.
Unions are their own problem BTW, but apprenticeships and county/state regulations and education credits are their own brand of crappy "degree"
Spoken as a true 02 electrical apprentice drop out in a blue state BTW
The economy is so bad, Melania, Don Jr, and Ivanka can't afford the bus ticket to go to NYC and be there to support their old man in court in his first criminal trial. 😖😫😩😢
apprenticeships only offer $14hr for 1st 2 years and like -$600 for the classes each year. i can make more than that in a factory or warehouse. so i did
@@MissyMuthaTruckiNApprenticeship are only good I've noticed if you get your kids in some trade program during high school, most trades pay nothing for 2-3 years and with rising inflation most people can't survive unless they live with parents or splitting the bills with several people.
Where I live there's a ton of nepotism in unionized trades. You have to know someone to get ahead in the waiting list and show up to the hall every morning during the recruitment season to show interest. Which isn't a problem until 2 years of doing this passes by and no results. My mom's ex-husband was an Iron Worker and he brought me to the annual rodeo. I've heard first-hand accounts of the process. It's not an easy feat and its mostly because of the nepotism.
You guys say that but when you go apply they tell you they not hiring
Thats a good father introducing to a lucrative field that returns with pride a nd security
Yes there are good paying trades out there. Problem is youth from the last 20 years plus have delicate hands. There’s just as many commercials for skin care for males as there is for females today.
yea buncha sissies out there, i cant tell whos a boy and whos a girl many times
Do your research before becoming a welder. The attrition rate of iron workers is HIGH!! Because it is honestly grueling physical work, conditions, and lots of traveling/hotel living. Plus you got the political side of the unions (whether your okay with them or not). If you want to become a welder? Look at the processes that you can actually semi do. Then a trade school will fine tune your skills. The welding field is like the medical field….there are SO MANY different avenues that a person can fit it. And only go to a accredited welding course.
10 years strong for Me been in trade since 2014 glazier
You go,Tiff
We need to teach kids financial education and money management.
I was in welding & Fabrication for 40 years, When you see a Hummer with full armor I probably made it, We built those starting in 1984, We made the roof back hatch & back cargo shells from 4130 steel.
Funny they show unionized workers, not scabs. Always be union, you'll always have a good life and retirement.
There's hope after all. A young person with common sense and work ethic.
PLEASE ADVISE.
I was told to spread my savings accros different things like stock and crypto to protect my retirement with the everything being shaky I'm considering going into Trade
Money invested is far better than money saved, when you invest it gives you an opportunity to increase your financial worth
It's remarkable how long term advantage people like us have gotten trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world , this is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies
I keep seeing how lots of people testify about how they make money from stocks, Forex and crypto currencies (BTC) and i wonder why i keep losing.. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do 🙏.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others.. As an investor, you should've known by now nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally i had to reach out to a financial adviso (Ava Brenda Harry) for guidance which is how i was able to grow my losing account back to $35k , withdraw my profile right before the corrections and now I'm buying again.
Going back into the trade was the smartest move I’ve done
Good dad
They're a real treat. I loved getting interrogated after I aced my math test, as they desperately tried to figure out how I cheated. Then, they made something up so they could fire me. It's actually terrifying to know how much they hate people who can tie their own shoes.
I love all these trades
Agreed.
I graduated HS in 1986. We had vocational classes such as Building Trades, Welding, Auto Mechanics and Auto Body. And I attended a small 4A HS. There were even some 5A schools with Cosmetology programs and Vocational/Practical Nursing (LVN/LPN) programs. Kids had options in HS and were able to join the work force with practical job skills and experience. It seems like the mid '90s is when we saw the big push for all kids to go to Universities. I agree the Universities are important for teaching the traditional Professions but so many of the degrees today are useless and provide absolutely no value to the kids. The sad part is the credit hour cost is the same for an Engineering degree as it is for an Underwater Basket Weaving decree. How many of these kids end up working as baristas and such after they finish their "degree"?
Seems like an easy fix but what would I know. I was one of those kids that was taught how to think, not what to think.
Let us not forget, these apprenticeships are based on what? Nepotism, not merit or seniority on a list or hiring hall. I know, I had to fight In Bred Electrical Workers for years, to get where I'm at today. If I was to do it over again, I would move to somewhere were In Bred Electrical Workers have very little say.
Trades Suck...
Work 80 hrs. a week , live in a camp $18 an hour. Nothing but crap welding jobs, no future in it

I've heard it said "Idle hands are the devil's tools" (or some variation of the saying). Point being, can you imagine how many people could experience the dignity and joy of working with their hands, developing a skill they can work positively with in life? And how much debt, gov't dependency (tax abuse) and crime could be reduced?? There is freedom and success to be found working in trade fields.
It is unfortunate that the unions destoyed many of the trades. They bought into dei and illegals, and forot about the American workers who built the unions.

Good luck waiting for a Union apprenticeship! GL and god bless. All these openings yet people on wait list for years.

The people in trades hold the trades back. Nothing new.

I never thought of being an iron worker.
Ai and robotics will come for trades in the form of extremely advanced tools that drastically reduce the need for a large workforce of skilled trades workers.
But, for the next half decade, yes. Trades are a good option.
Housing and construction still need manual work which requires human dexterity and coordination abilities. I would say we are not even close yet to be using robotics to fully construct buildings, houses and infrastructures.

Literally the most satisfying job on earth 🌎.
I’m a tradesman myself and give a thumbs up to anyone in the trades. That being said , let’s be honest here. One of the reasons We see a shortage of skilled workers is because there are more, much more nonunion trades positions. You won’t find Union trade workers on residential construction and small commercial construction, for example, a Popeyes building being constructed. The non union contractors pay literally half of what a union contractor pays. This is why there is a shortage. If you don’t believe what I’m saying, go on an employment website like indeed, and find some job openings. Sometimes contractors will also give a wage range with no intention of ever paying the highest amount offered. Also, in defense to some residential contractors, they can’t afford to pay union wages for the type of work they do. I know this as a fact because I am a residential excavating contractor. I have always tried to pay my employees as much as I could, because that is a value my union pipefitter dad instilled in me. But most Nonunion contractors don’t want to share the wealth.
Trades are good but the government gets a large portion of the overtime you work! If you’re in the service industry then overtime must be worked! It’s a tax trap!!! The more you work the more you pay, for everything!!!
Working is rigged and no longer worth it.
Yes if you want a job might as well get in a union trade especially if you have no skills. They will let anyone at any age come in as an apprentice as long as you can pay your dues and membership. Union is the new factory no need for skills the work does itself you show up and joke all day with the rest of the men and you go home! And if anyone ask how is it going always say your living the dream! Now your union welcome 🙏
Welder jobs DO NOT PAY. The trades in many of the states at best pay $30 an hour union after a 5 year apprenticeship of making pennies. You can't even pay rent while you are in the apprenticeship.
Not true
Agreed. It's becoming trendy by podcasts and youtube channels to recommend the "trades". BUt i've been truck driving and various other things for 10+ years. Pay is "eh" at best and destroys my body. And most of the boomer bosses are miserable bc of their own shitty life decisons. Until they ACTUALLY pay well, i wouldn't recommend them. If you can get a cushy office job make 60-70k, do that!
@@Ascendsean35 You say try to get in office jobs, but the truth is dude most office jobs are getting automated to hell and back right now and will continue to do so with AI. On top of that, the standards are ridiculous and you need a degree and years of experience to get an entry level position now. It is totally bad. If I were you I would try and get into a side hustle trade skill while you still can because AI will eventually replace truck driving too and you may be too old by then to get into trade jobs.
@@Jacob-py9mx Decent points. I'm a big proponent of Minimalism and life choices. I've always been super skeptical of the economy and other things. So regardless of what people decide the only thing i can recommend is being frugal and not Effing up in life. Good luck to us all lol
New water heaters, AC units, furnaces, electrical always need updating and it’s big money, go to trade school endless opportunities!
Tell them to reach out to me I need a job in Michigan. Where do I find out where these are! Lol. I’ve been job searching for a little while!
They shouldn’t discriminate then
The thousands is very scary when it should be unlimited
But they want thousands for a approval slip plus commissions on your earnings for years. Just like driving trucks.
It all Depends on who you worked for. Started welding in the 70’s and just now retired. I made a lot of good money doing that. Once you become a 1st class welder, you do not need to look for work. Work comes looking for you.
@@michealnagy5763 I started assembling welding rig around 1980 while getting certified at junior college and working summers at underground mine mill for good pay and experience. Struck out on my own very green but eager, hard for few yrs then took off. Still doing it but limited hrs by choice, endless demand. $150/hr minimum for NEW customers, less for established regular customers.
Right to work states don't make you pay to work like unions do.
Trades like residential carpentry is always looking for people .. They find a lot of them .Coming across the border , That they pay peanuts . Do not get into carpentry unless you are exceptionally talented , Got the money to start your own business or your daddy is the builder . Builder's love illegals flooding carpentry , They don't have to worry about paying taxes , No workers comp No payroll taxes and they get paid a handful of cash . If you are American and want to get into the trades , Do Not Seek Carpentry . Pay on average has stagnated or gone down in the last 20 years
IM IN THE ELECTRICAL UNION, there are so many South Americans entering the unions, there aren't going to be as many openings soon. They're bringing them into the unions by the hundreds if not thousands.
Give me a BREAK. This entire interview is full of crap. Nobody can afford to do these things. It requires school, lots of money, and sacrifice for years while they have to work and struggle more than ever before. The gatekeeping in these industries is NUTS.
Iron worker is way too dangerous for the wage you get
...she's exactly the reason why NOT to get into the trades.....
CRONYISM AND NEPOTISM are what ruined the trades.
Of please…
Yep, my daughter now before it was my nephew and my son .... or my grandson plug in the whole family under the table
I have 5 years experience Tig welding, nobody wants to hire.
They're always seems to be a good job with good income until you apply
I do HVAC and i make more $$ each year the youngsters decide they don't want to work. Yes Im in attics all day long but i do whatever the hell i want on the weekends and can support a family. Obviously not doing as much as we did few years ago but nobody is and im still working everyday 🤷 Nobody whos green is gonna make top dollar off rip idc if you went to school or not so get the entitlement out of your head. Feild workers get priority over degrees any day of the week. But if you pay your dues a few years,make some mistakes and learn from them then you can go in anywhere and almost demand what you want but an employer knows in 2 seconds if your full of it or real deal. I haven't seen a young person apply in years so i see whats happening and so does all the experienced tradesman 🤑
Worst decision ever since AI will be integrated into machines to replace these workers in the next years. It is better if she focuses her work in this industry as a manager in this field or coordinator for construction or structures to become an architect. Machines will do the hard work, and humans will just supervise. That is what YOU must keep in mind. She is very young and will be replaced if she does not understand that risk
If you’re planning to be on the management side of any career field go to college. They’ll pay you more just to brag about having college educated employees.
Yeah it's good income but you need to consider there is going to be a slowdown in winter months. Plus the trades are the first to get hit when the economy goes bad and it becomes the slowest to recover . Want to go on vacation while you are still hired . You might has well quit because they will replace you the day you don't show up .
Listen carefully. Here you have a guy headed towards retirement stating such jobs are hurting for more people. $$$$$
nobody can trust a liar
if kids today only wanted to work. to make something of themselves. Sad
Yes...if you like someone handling your retirement...that with a stroke of a pen you could loose...
Almost all trades can be filled by a woman if they don’t mind getting there nails dirty.
I agree, time for the women to start acting like equality exists like they so desperately want. Time to get women to grit it out all day and have no time for beauty.
Yeah let the Americans do all the labor jobs and we will continue to hire qualified people from other countries!! This is absolutely ridiculous!!!!
The one thing everybody's forgetting is you don't do a trade because you have to you do trades because you want to because you love it it's in your blood if you're doing it for money you're going to go to college you're going to be smart or you're going to be an entrepreneur I mean that's what college is for to become an entrepreneur we need more people making jobs does this new generation can handle and the kids need to stick to building robots to do the jobs for them because they can't handle it
Iron work was the easiest job I ever had.
Why bring the lady and never bother asking her any questions......so ironwork of him
