Hopefully you’ll get in Mod or repair you’ll see a lot more equipment and do every aspect in the business with exception of stacking rails in new construction which I don’t recommend lol

HVAC is so underrated. You need to understand both electrical and plumbing to be a service tech. As well as it’s own trade related things like refrigeration,heat, air movement, and sheet metal work. HVAC is the best trade. You will learn so many different disciplines all wrapped into one trade. You can make way more money than what was listed, like Roger said. Just be ready to work some hours and never quit on a call. My worst calls have always been the ones I learned the most from.

A lot of skilled tradesmen become industrial maintenance technicians (mostly older guys). Big building complexes like hospitals, college campuses, factories, etc have their own skilled tradesmen on staff (24/7) to do preventative maintenance, monitor, and contain failures until a contractor can arrive to make more complex repairs. Right now, the Baby Boomers who have been doing this work for years are retiring. It is getting very difficult to replace them. At the hospital complex I work at, we are hiring younger/less experienced guys then has been the normal practice. And, there are a lot of overtime opportunities for a Generation X guy like me.

Electricians in the IBEW here in California are making 120k or more on average, San Francisco IBEW Local 6 only works 5x a week/7 hr day. Journeyman makes minimally 168k a year without OT, and differentials. I see people working at IBEW Local 6 just making absolute bank, way more than police officers or nurses in that area, and their union has a considerable market share with so much work available. Most electricians here don't make less than 100k even in low COL in Cali. I'd definitely consider inside wireman as start to finish career with tremendous income potential, staying in shape, and taking care of your body so you can enjoy the pension. I'm a nurse, and making the move to being an electrician.

Millwrights/Industrial Mechanics can earn pretty good especially up in Canada. Jack of All Trades so a lot of the skills are transferable so a lot of guys have all different kinds of combos with different tickets, licenses and certifications in other trades. Roofers(commercial/industrial) as well. Doesn't require too much brains either as you are essentially a laborer unless you really want to pursue the estimator, supervisor or inspector positions. Highly dependent on climate or the seasons and it can be a pretty dirty job with asphalt mainly but also wood pulp, fibreglass, sheetrock and concrete dust especially for re-roofing but when things get rolling the money is there.

You don’t make the distinction of what these jobs might pay if you’re in the union. Because you’re in a “non-union” state (Texas) you might not have thought of that. It makes quite a difference (which see: elevator service.)

HVAC has taken me from really poor to not so poor. Let me tell you guys unless your a contractor or a contractors puppy dog your body will be broken and so will your bank account. The trades unions are fine but you have to take into consideration you have to live in the city and pay city prices.

@@jproper I know a few techs that take home about 2-3k a week doing plumbing. I’ve seen Hvac techs make more. Trades ain’t for everyone man it’s a hard job, if your not careful of your surroundings and you don’t take care of yourself you will be prone to injury.

I'm 29 trying to find a job that I can do to work again as a trade. I'm still able to work like I used too just for not extremely long periods. I'm trying my hand at trucking or something sitting.
