Ausfag NEET here, looking to get into trades.
Which trade would be in demand in Australia?

Looking towards something like electrician ideally but open to other fields if higher demand.
Would be a mature age apprentice.

Plumbers make buku
>>
>>2419909
im thinking about doing the same thing hey

which trade is not dependent on the housing market boom? i dont want to finish my apprenticeship once everything hits rock bottom

id probably become a sparky if i could, since thats what my dad did and he'd reinforce the shit ive learned on site, ect.
>>
>>2419956
Plumbing sounds good.
I just want to stop being a neet desu.

Not afraid of hard work and minimum wage for a few years.

I'm in SA.
I'll research how to get started.
>>
>>2419989
Even without construction im sure a plumber or sparky will always be in demand.
>>
>>2419909
don't trade bro just HODL
>>
>>2419909

No money to invest in meme coins.

>>2419909
>Ground Harness Installation
Needs Cert IV, minimum $40/h for apprentice, decent ones make up to $90/h
>Emu Fencers
Again, Cert IV, national parks, housing developments, hotel/motels in rural areas are always looking for new fences to keep the emus out
>Sunscreen
No certs needed, just experience. Most sporting venues will hire young fit guys to be a suscreen. They provide you with the support mechanisms, but basically you are installed over patrons to keep the sun off them
>NBN Installation
AFAIK, you just get paid to rip functioning Telstra copper out of the ground, lay old broken Optus copper, and then pass any complaints off to India. Good money.
>>
>>2419909
Brickies make bank. Especially if you can do Heritage brickwork, most guys in the heritage trade are 40+ and will retire soon. Plumbing is a good option too.

You live in an ass scorching desert. Air con guys are welcomed as gods

a few of my electrician friends cant find jobs in SA they got memed out of one when the hospital finished being built

Plumbing it is.

Compounding Technician (Pharmacy)
Can get work anywhere

How to get this job?
>>
become a plumber mate. As a plumber you'll also be qualified to do roofing (in qld anyway). After our local town got hit with a hailstorm a couple years back, the roofers I knew who owned the businesses were clearing $15k for themselves a week profit after wages/costs. went on for two-three months, so much money was flowing.
>>
>>2422881
Nice, in adelaide.
I will do plumbing, googling how to right now.

Is it difficult to become an apprentice?
>>
>>2422913
Have you considered which you would actually prefer doing?
>>
>>2422958
Which type of plumbing?
I dont care honestly, just about the money.
I would prefer minimising roof time though.
>>
>>2422975
Which type of trade they're all different, but if you can run a business you stand to do well in any of them.
Start a shitty side business ASAP, trading doesn't count, cryptos is not business
>>
>>2423124
Yeah i would have liked electrical but no job demand.

I will do plumbing then when qualified start a plumbing business.
>>
>>2423172
Seen that change enough times in enough industries, not enough lawyers, 3 years later a million law grads
>>
>>2423209
Better than going into electricial today which is already saturated desu.
I'll have to risk it.
>>
>>2423242
Yeah well your call. Start some other business now, even a meme one like dropshipping but preferably as relevant as possible, you will pick things up that will help you when you're qualified
>>
>>2423356
I was looking at dropshipping actually but seemed like a meme with razor thin margins.
I will give it a try anyway.
Cant hurt.

Just want a real job to rely on.
>>
>>2423435
It is a meme now, it doesn't matter, just something to get some idea about actually running a business to have advantage over other plumbers
>>
Electrician all the way m8. Thousands of applicable roles.
For example, appliance repairing. Fixing a fuse on a washing machine which takes you ten minutes and you charge out $120

Or be a linesman and get 3grand a week
>>
>>2419909
Electricians and plumbers are and for the foreseeable future, will be the best trade.

Would you rather have to potentially deal with disgusting shit or the off chance of getting electrocuted. I know which choice I'd make.

Also if you get a high voltage ticket you can work at a minesite and earn the big bucks.
>>
>>2423553
But
>>2421587
Cant find jobs

And high voltage power lines is living too dangerously for my taste.
>>
>>2423905
So you'd rather stick your hand in shit?
>>
>>2423905
You're not just going off that anons comment alone, right?
>>
>>2424493
>what are gloves
>>
>>2424521
>thinking an apprentice gets gloves

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>
why not just wear a scuba tank and mask type thing if your dealing with large amounts of shit, I mean, you could catch a fucking disease from that
>>
>>2422881
> As a plumber you'll also be qualified to do roofing

wat

im a carpenter
>>
don't fall for the 'plumbers make 75 an hour' meme

i'm sure they make 30-40 easily if they're qualified and experienced, but a plumbing company's billed rate =/= a tradesman's wages

also i wouldn't be so confident about 'yeah nah i'll just start my own company'. enjoy the 60 hour workweeks and getting slogged by every old mate meat pie king who's been at it for 40 years and knows all the tricks and has all the connections.

not trying to knock the trades but this trend of glorifying sparkies and plumbers is misleading
>>
>>2424729
My sparky mate made 149000 last year, but he travels around the country connecting self checkouts
>>
>>2424632
took me by surprise too when I first learned. thats how it is in qld, not sure about other states.

they're talking a bit about legislation but not sure if itll go through or not

>>
>>2424533
>Cant buy my own gloves
Im not concerned honestly.
>>2424729
Own business is after decades of experience.
>>
>>2425073
If you wanna be known as the faggot princess cunt that wears gloves go for it.

If you wanna be a plumber, you're going to have to deal with shit. It's pretty much a rite of passage.
>>
>>2420913

No. Boom is over, reflected in Perth housing crash that is currently happening.
>>
Just buy some niggers and let them do the work for you
