Im tired of people saying shortages of trades” all over the internet? Unless your union, most tradesmen make an average income between 40-60k a year unless you have your own business. My father was an electrician and he had a hard time getting into the union WITH experience. They pick on favoritism. I’m not sure why so many Americans can’t understand that. If it was so easy to learn a trade no one would live in poverty. If anything my parents told me to go to college and not work in construction. Most people never worked outside a day in their life outside of cutting grass. Also most people complain about hot weather going outside for 5 minutes so can you imagine those same people working 8 hours a day in that? What about when people aren’t building houses? You guys(not you specifically) hear propaganda online and shove it down people’s throats.
