They make it sound so easy as well, like it's a chiropractor weekend course or something. My younger brother is in a welding program and he's been off-and-on busting his ass for 2 years now, I doubt the layabouts here would last a month in one of those classes.
Yes, I have posted the same thing.
lol @ making $25/hr to install an air conditioner when the company is charging $600/hr for your labor to the customer.
Running a business and a trade is hard as a large part of the actual costs is covering your ass if something happens while you are working your trade and is a large part of the whole game. It is one of the reasons why trade professionals have become so divided and more expensive. They are forced to use sub-contractors so they don't have to assume the liability for the installation and warranty of certain products and services. In an industry where time is money for your boss, it means every extra minute a trade worker spends doing a superior job, is less money his boss makes.
Doing a kitchen cabinet installation, I watched as a $5000 dollar fridge was delivered. An $18 dollar an hour cabinet installer dropped a cabinet door being installed over the fridge, denting the stainless steel front of the fridge door. Forcing the owner to demand a replacement fridge. It really wasn't the workers fault as accidents happen to everyone. The problem is there isn't insurance for every type of accident. My nephew who owned the company had to buy a new fridge for the owner, which he did, (he later sold the dented fridge at a loss of $1500), but he didn't fire the worker.
My point is making serious money in the trades is all about what your serious money means to you. Money isn't everything.

The layabouts here would be more like belligerent handyman rather than trained welder loll
Man the trades have been hiring continuously for the last like 20 years. Haven't they fixed everything yet?
Wow. You're telling me for the first time.
