Good luck brother. I’m 31 and now trying to figure out what trade to get into

Good luck🙏🏻

@@buildgates381 How’s that going! I’m 27 and wanting something new. I want to go back to school to learn a trade. I have zero experience but want to learn something that’s going to benefit me

Start by unclogging your shitter at home

Good for you! Do you mean you don't want to hide in your room coding video games? Keep researching and maybe when you're 16 you could get apprentice job as a helper, or even work at a plumbing parts store. Just find ways to start learning now and get a head start on your adult professional career.

I wanna get into Hvac would you consider Commercial or residential Hvac Technican?

@@theworldbegoinup3289 I would definitely recomend to start off with residential. Commercial is something you usually get I to once you got some years under your belt, bc it's a lot more to it, and everything is a lot bigger. Tbh becoming an HVAC tech was the best decision I ever made in my life. I love what I do, and it pays really well

@@Saintaholik Thank for replying to me I really do appreciate it I was also wondering if you become a residential how can you become a commercial hvac would u have to go to back to school to learn or does the company you work for teach?

@@theworldbegoinup3289 it really depends on the company and their type of workload. Some company's do 95% residential, with maybe 1 technician that does commercial. Some company's do 50/50, and some do nothing but commercial. Here's a tip, if you want to do HVAC, some company's will hire guys with no experience so they can train them up themselves, but if you don't have any company's that hire guys with 0 experience there is school in little Rock Arkansas called UTA. They throw about 3 semesters worth of knowledge and lab into 3 weeks. You go to class Monday-Friday for 10 hours a day (6 hrs lab- 4 hrs class time) land they offer all your certifications. By the time you leave you'll know pretty much all the basics, and you will have your EPA, and Nate certifications. P.S. Your very Welcome man anytime brother. The industry is begging for up and coming HVAC techs Edit: most companies want you to have some experience before you ever start doing commercial work. So you could always get some residential experience and the go job hunting for a company that does commercial, or you could get lucky and try to find a company that does commercial and they are willing to train you

@@Saintaholik define pays well? In what area? How much travel? How many hours per week?

Good Move. Don't quit.

Good luck

Good luck bro! I have one with UA local 562 on August 3rd

Goodluck! You'll do great

@@CourierFromFONv is that In Missouri.

I'm 22 no job what's the best way

@@daboss3763 Figure out what trade you want to do first and if you want to do service or new construction. Then from there you go about applying union or non union(local contractors). I'd advise learning a bit about each trade you can before deciding on one. I'm the same age coming up on 4 years into plumbing and have enjoyed it so far. Theres a lot to learn but always good resources on the internet like roger wakefield and got2learn, etc. Goodluck!

@@ForeverAGh0st as a plumber do you do a lot of heavy lifting day to day ? Do you ever have to carry 90 lbs water heaters or boilers

@@daboss3763 go to school, get good grades, get a good job. Otherwise, we f you want to be in the trades, realize the only people getting paid well are the people who don't do the work.

⁠@@jeffshackleford3152Is that so? Sounds like you don’t like that a company’s owner, (more responsibilities , more risk, lots of expenses that you don’t see, or aren’t aware of) can make more than an individual trade worker? Basically, the same rules that apply to most any business organization, large or small, but yeah I get it, some people are better off as an employee, no matter what they choose to do. To each their own, according to their own ambitions and abilities. There is honor in all honest work.

I’ve been a plumber for about a month now, I learned how to deal with the smells already 🤣

@@Rob-ng9fo oh. You learn to deal with it but never come to like them lol. A month? Got some fun times in store for ya haha

I'm 38 and thinking of starting in plumbing. Am I crazy?

How do I get started?

Haha, their shi* is your bread and butter.

Was it Easy also was it worth it ? I’m 17 looking for my future opinions

@@Joe-dw7xu I like it most of the time. I do a lot of service and they feeling you get after getting someones heat working again is a good feeling. You get mad tips too. But it's a vast trade to work in because it's a mix of plumbing and electric. So yah, just make sure you get in an apprenticeship when you start at a new job. Recommend pipe fitter and refrigerant

How do you just jump into it? Did you go to trade school? Did you know an HVAC technician who let you work with him for experience?

@@Keegeth do you do a lot of heavy lifting ? As in do you carry anything over 50-70 lbs on a day to day basis or is it that on rare occasions ? Would you say hvac techs carry more heavy weight than plumbers do on the job or is it the other way around ?

You got it brotha

@@xCaPz his legs

Facts

Wait, why did you hate it???

@@granthoover9045Installs can be a ginormous pain in the ass especially as a beginner in HVAC. There’s a big learning curve to HVAC but once it start to get dialed in, it starts to become routine work. The hardest learning curve about HVAC is diagnosis. Learning based off the issues with the system, knowing what the issue is. Installs are a pain because it’s a lot of heavy lifting, getting in cramped and uncomfortable spaces and learning the difference connections.

How did you get into that?

That's my birthday and I'm so glad to share it with you!!

How’s its going just to ask?

How did it go?

Welcome aboard!

bruh im also in nyc. Where should i even start to get into this?

@@guutenks2498 call big companies and tell them you want to be a helper, get your f60 g60 first so you can get more pay

Yea dude, do plumbing look into your local union when you get of the military. I'm 27 I wish I did when I was your age instead of college.

That's entirely up to you...we all want something different in life..Personally I like working with my hands and being in the trades...it's not for everyone

@@RogerWakefield yeah, just makes me think if I am too old and late to start working on a trade.

You're never too old...I know a few plumbers that just got in...they are in their mid 50's

@@RogerWakefield thank you for that sir, appreciate it.

Glad it was helpful!

i feel you, i’ll be 20 in february and i’m still working at walgreens, i’d much rather work my way into a trade and have something to be proud of as opposed to watching my life go by doing nothing with it… i hope everything goes well for you in the future🤝

24 and starting to get into the trades after graduating college. Never too late to restart your life and make a change. We all got this.

What do you mean by thick skin?

@@DavidMongebe tough when shit gets rough rather you working in a physical demanding position or you struggling finding someone to work under you gotta be tough and determined.

Thanks for watching

I would say part time associates in accounting. Not a bachelors

How’s it going now?

@@thesavage4444 not bad. Pay could be better for my situation but I’m surviving just fine

@@zandy9984how long did it take?

GREAT money. Be be prepared to work crazy hours. Having to wake up at 2am because a freezer went down and you better be able to fix it, or there goes your job

That's a juicy one. I'd jump on it in a second. But that's what would be cool for me.

Definitely would stick with solar for a year or two more build up the savings account then go for residential, try it out and if it doesn’t work out so well you’ll have the savings to lean on

what are your thoughts on power generator technician?

i’m not an expert at anything at all but make 6 million annually

i’m going to start a handyman business so as to employ by buddy Slingblade

so he can get some more of them mashed taters

This job I have is not hard but I want to do hvac work to the point I’m learning something new everyday and maybe start my own business

Cnc and welding

I'm 22 no job what do you Recommend

@@daboss3763 Hi. depends on what you like. Many paths. You can take. If you like working with. Wood and building stuff then carpentry but if you like working with water. Plumbing. Many things in plumbing. From repair remodeling to new home. Install Then you got electricity. If you like that. Then try this path

Sounds bad but you can adapt to the heat. Get good clothes, breathable material. Electrolyte powders in water, wear a big hat, there are shorts and long sleeves that are good for this. I have a towel with ice packs in it to wraps around my neck. Helps a lot. Just try out new stuff you haven't before.

Long loose fitting clothes

Drink lots of water, wear those dry fit polos. Soak your shirt in water every once in a while. Honestly I can't really tell you much other than that, because I haven't worked outside in years. I am/ was an interior finish carpenter, I became very good at that because I knew I didn't want to be outside.

Entry level trade jobs are fine but if your looking for stability in the future consider going for an apprenticeship.

Try carpentry, hvac, or electrician. If you can’t get into a union you can get experience in an entry level grunt position like HVAC or Electrician assistant. I’d recommend finding an entry level job because most trades require 2-4 years so give it a try before you jump in.

i was the first cuz i liked before commented

and i got a pic

maybe the union...residential service...not so much

@@RogerWakefield ah yes being underpaid and overworked sounds much better
