Dude. Not getting a liberal arts degree is better than getting a liberal arts degree. If you're gonna end up making food at McDonald's you might as well start 3 years earlier and without 50k+ debt.

That being said trade schools are way superior to useless collage degrees. If you want to go to colage get a degree in something that will allow you to get a job in that field (STEM and such).

Depends on you.

Most people who do degrees have a hard time getting a job out of college, but settle into something marginally related. For instance engineering students becoming industrial designers or working making concrete blocks, accounting students becoming managers and office admins, computer science students becoming graphic designers and maintenance technicians.

The same thing applies in the trades I assume. For instance being an electrician is a good starting point for working with CCTV, at least around here.

Basically education is in general good, so long as it's practical, and you don't drop out.

All the young people I know who are doing alright either have a job which didn't require a degree or started with the military. Everyone else is choking on debt and working shit jobs.

College is nice if you actually need to learn something for the career you want to pursue, but it's pretty worthless otherwise to get a degree. Take a few classes to learn the stuff you need to learn, then get the hell out of there.

I'm a welder. I got my certification in about 9 months. I'm currently making 22$ an hour as an ironworker. Honestly it's dangerous work and rough on your body. But I have coworkers making 35$ an hour. Plus overtime as well. But I like welding a lot. I have welders at home as well. The trades are good to get into, but don't be an auto mechanic, they make shitty pay. Diesel mechanic pays good though.

If you enjoy it, most trades are good bets. You have to find the right one for you though. I tried out electrician work for a while, and it was interesting but I hated the construction lifestyle (lots of travel). I'm now a machinist and I'm learning about the machines, programming, quality control, etc.

Trades can be a great alternative to traditional schooling and careers.

Some pros:
>Don't need to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to get a degree
>Almost guaranteed to have work if youre smart and get into a trade your area needs
>Good profit margins if your not a dog fucker

Cons:
>Long hours
>Mostly hard manual labour
>Old guys always bullshitting and pretending they know how to do something but in reality they are drunk or stoned and are more likely to fuck shit up
>Shitty OHS workers constantly making life hard
>can be seasonal based

Things to avoid at all costs:
>Unions
>unpaid apprenticeships

That's great and all, I mean, my brother is a tradesman with his own outfit and has a family etc... I don't want to work 60 hours a week busting my ass off though, so I'm a web dev.

I realize if society collapses I'm fucked, but for now I'm comfy and make a killing doing barely anything. I did concrete and tile/wood flooring in the past so I respect tradesman a lot. They are typically cool dudes with a good sense of humor and a red pilled political outlook. I feel kinda bad since my dad and brother were tradesman.. I'm basically an artfag who opted out of it though.

Godspeed and good luck to all you tradies. We need more of you.

40 year old welder here
Ever notice there aren't any old welders?
Ever notice the oldest welders don't bend at the knee?
Welding is deeply poisonous in more than just the fumes.
A word to the wise, be a real dick about health & safety every day. Also, move around a bit & try to get a bit of fabrication/plating in.
Practically all platers can weld, so the dedicated weld lads are the first out of the door at the first sign of a squeeze in the order book

I just kinda fell into it. Started off working really hard and made a fortune, then I realized the only real perk of being a contractor is that you're not a wage slave, so I started working really hard and fast and got used to working like 3 hours a day for my living. The pay took a bit of a hike down in the past couple years where I live because of poos moving in and being really cheap, but it's still pretty decent, and the potential is there for you to make 6 figures if you're good and you wanna put in 8 hours a day 5 days a week, but that aint my cup of tea

It comes down to the type of people you like working around.

I don't like bullshit PC stuff, and I don't watch sports - so working in the social sciences or trades, and possibly even medicine is not for me. So no SJW roasties who want to talk about the latest social outrage or emergig virtues or tradies with rocks in their head that want to talk about sports. Don't get me wrong, I can get along with both of these types of people, but from experience I can't work with them. I've always felt weird about workplaces get togethers and pep talks - this is why.

That leaves STE from stem. I'm a nerd, not a reddit comicon attending "nerd XD", and I like being around nerds and other socially awkward people. I went into computer science and never looked back (the first couple of years of engineering is usually filled with jocks anyway). All we talk about is videogames, memes, filthy jokes and the latest computer shit.

Some people say go where the money is, others say go where your people are.

For instance, If you love music become a musician or work at a rock venue or a music instrument store.

Well for the most part it's just gonna be like a job, getting paid a wage and working full time. If you wanna make money off a trade you'll have to start your own business. So with that in mind a deciding factor for which trade would be if you wanna run a crew or work by yourself.

You make as much money as you want though. If you do good work and you work 8ish hour days then i'd say you realistically have the potential to make a solid 100-300k a year in almost any trade

I'm currently working as an HVAC helper in a quasi-apprenticeship on my summers off from university and it can be pretty tough work. If you don't mind manual labor and don't particularily like the idea of being confined to a cubicle for your work then I'd say go for it. You can make damn good money working a trade: my boss makes six figures and hes not the brightest dude around. I myself definitely have learned a bunch in just knowing how to work with my hands. Where I used to look down on people who did this kind of stuff as being too stupid for other things I now have an enduring respect: it can be fucking hard to figure out how you're going to install equipment within the confines of some rando's house, and you have to be able to think critically on the spot.

I'm most likely not going to continue working it but it 100% can be lucrative if you are driven. Just know there are gonna be some days that you want to kill yourself. Either because of fucktard customers or having to come in and painstakingly fix all of some other jackass's mistakes.

Illegal mexican offers do your job for less, get fired.
Pooinloo offers to do your job for less, gets H1B visa, you're fired.
You're fed up with this and want a better deal, so you unionize. Get fired and blacklisted by all future employers.

Live on the streets. Get robbed by a dindu. Shoot him with your god given freedom. Too poor to afford a real lawyer, get public defender, thrown in jail for life.

Work-life balance varies extremely by location and you've got the benefit of being able to live wherever you want and make good money. World is your oyster as a single tradesman. Trades get memed down a lot because they all require some kind of hard work, which is what my generation seems to be terrified of. I'm deciding between being a CPA or going into locksmithing desu, seems fucking cool

>>131109820
1. Trade Jobs are heavily dominated by whites in the US, Mexican/illegals do farm work, landscape, and some construction/contracting
2. Poo in Lois are brought in for "coding" but roulghly 80% of them don't even know how to code so are really just brought into to do landscaping and janitorial work and are contained in Silicon Valley in this case
3.i have no clue where you got this image of poverty in America
4. You have to be a millionaire? Quite literally every person I know is not a millionaire and is fine
>>
>>131100870
It's ok yeah, ain't nothing wrong with it, and if we ever hope to be living by ourselves, we need whites who can do those things, they will be heavily relied on in any society we hope to accomplish. If nothing else you should be finding and vetting people for a commune with mutually beneficial skills and trades. As a very long term goal.
Really we don't stand a chance at justifying for homogeneity if we can't prove to the world we can sustain ourselves independently.
>>
>>131109320
No real requirements, just have to be computer minded because there is a bunch of minor programming
Its mostly installing phone systems and doing related maintenance, but that includes working on phone lines and data cabling

My problem with electricians is that they often confuse "we need a computer and phone point at every desk" to mean "lets cheap out and run one daisy chained cable for all the phones" or "lets cheap out and just terminated the phone cable on an rj11 outlet instead of an rj45 outlet"

As a sales professional I've had the pleasure to work with, and evaluate, nearly all the trades. I know their margins, advantages and difficulties, etc. intimately.

>Ultimate trade
Sales. So long as products exist, you will always have a means to make shit tons of money. All you have to do is not be an autist.

>God Tier
Mold remediation/water damage/fire damage restoration. NEVER out of work. Always paid by insurance companies - no bounced checks. great money

>High Tier
HVAC. No off season. A change out can net you 1-2 grand. Service calls and repair are good money too.

Mid-Tier
Home Automation/AV installation. Fantastic money on high end clients. Main problem is there aren't enough rich people installing 70 thousand dollar systems all the time.

Roofing. A reroof can be done rather quickly, and net you thousands of dollars. Main problem is feast or famine depending on weather.

>Low Tier
Carpentry. Projects take too long to do enough of them in succession to reach a high income. Skilled help is in very short supply.

Painting. Fuck that shit. You'd better speak Spanish fluently.

Landscaping. Too seasonal.

Concrete/Masonry. Too seasonal.

>Awful Tier
Plumbing. There is plenty of potential to make a lot of money... but you will always be miserable. I have never met a plumber with a pleasant disposition, ever. Only become a plumber if you hate yourself.

>>131111582
23$ per hour is average I think at least, and if you're really good and dedicated you can make big money at the right companies in the city or a pipeline/energy project. You can work independent if you want anytime. But you gotta be ready to be called in on a moments notice to do something trivial that is emergency tier for turdnuggets.
It's like the others say you spend a lot of time putting cables through walls and shit and probably working alongside engineers sometimes and other crews if you're on a dedicated site.
They don't get worked too hard you get standard shift types on steady sites and probably wild sporadic long weeks with some clients.
Idk maybe 65000$+ as an electrician? Going up with experience and navigation of the job market.

Seconded on this. My old man was a welder and his friend he grew up with runs his own HVAC business and makes hefty without exerting himself.

When I graduated with a history major from a state land grant university my BA was awarded by the college of liberal arts. The liberal arts were actually a useful field before the entire thing got subverted by communists and 30% off the adult population didn't have a degree. A good liberal arts education teaches you a variety of analytical frameworks with which to evaluate society. That said i don't use my degree and I'd like to eventually learn how to do something useful.

Linework is a promising and masculine trade to go into. The esprit de corps is only matched by military, police, and fireman. I kinda miss it, I was just starting to climb when I got tired of being passed up for apprenticeship for someones less experienced brother/cousin/buddy. Had another gig in the ropes before I lost my CDL due to a DWI.

Its only been 2 years since I left the trade and I hated a lot of things about it while I did it. (creosote is the big one) But looking back I get nostalgic and I know it made me a stronger person.

I noticed while I did it I was one of the youngest people there at 25-27. Rarely did I find someone younger than me entering the trade so chanced are the demand will skyrocket in a few years.

Yes. Learning a skill is the fundamental to being successful. If you have a skill you can do reasonably well no matter where you are a job will exist for you. Learn the craft, make some money, and then do college if you'd like to further your education in pursuit of business ownership. I swear if colleges didn't accept people until two years after high school it would be an entirely different experience. Retard liberal arts major here, don't make my mistake. Learn a skill, also you may want to consider welding as it's always in demand and pays well.

Although if you are getting more business as an electrician undercutting your competition that can work too, but you have to work harder obviously. In the real world profit is not a dirty word if you want to be rich. Its not right to completely fuck someone over, but you have to make a living too. When my worst customers would complain about the price of a product I was selling I would sometimes say "well I have to make a living too" and it they would be like "oh oh oh of course" and usually buy.
My dad is a cutthroat businessman, and if people were giving him shit about the price he would say "did you see a sign outside that says charity?" Sometimes they would get pissed off at that one.

You can get a degree or get a job anon. Have 2 faggot cousins: one went to Mac and the other to trade school. The "idiot" that did the trade school is saving cash and owning all his shit while the other had to move back home.

>Be an electrician. Or a welder. Or a sprinkler tech. They all make about six figures once the year is all said and done.

Sprinkler fitter? Hard, heavy work.

Welder? CAN be good money in it, but has to be high quality welding IE X-ray pressure piping/pressure vessels. Downside--a lot of ugly position welding and welds in tight places, fumes etc.

Electrical--My experience--electricians are a bunch of crybabies. If you aren't-- become one.

Pipefitter/steamfitter-- reasonably good trade

Boilermaker-- Yuch! A lot of "mask" work in tanks/ vessels etc. Good pay. These guys seem to be bull-headed as hell though--in my experience--scrappers, argumentative, a lot of attitude.

Statistically average trade worker IQ is 85. He's not wrong but with a business orientated mind and patience it can pay off.

How meme tier is "flipping houses"? Can it be done on a $50,000 family loan and only book knowledge?

I'm in school to teach but a recent Jordan Peterson binge on every commute is leading me to think the reason I've been so miserable is that I've been in female dominated professions for too long. I've been longing to use my hands and be involved in creating something I can be proud of. Men are hands-on creatures from toddlers and my experience in early childcare is making this obvious on a new level. How can I find fulfillment in a trade?

well I'm 32 and making ~$150,000 a year as a machinist, took trade school in a kind of unrelated field and additional continuing education in also kind of unrelated fields. Hard to say how much it has helped in my career
Also, would say is it a good alternative to a a liberal arts degree? that's the wrong question. It is absolutely better than a liberal arts degree. a liberal arts degree is completely fucking useless. is it better than a BS/Bachelor of Science degree like Mech engineering or even N aaociates a degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology? absolutely not.
Liberal arts degrees are completely fucking useless for the most part. BS is and even AS are vastly superior in terms of the job and earnings potential for the majority of graduates. Everybody is not the same do whatever is best for you, but how many liberal arts majors do you know that make more than me.

still stands, liberal arts degrees are a useless waste of money. go trade school or skip it and jump straight into a trade. if you're determined to go to college/university, go the science route.

Spoken like a true pussie.. Plumbing is one of the highest paid trades because people like you are afraid of it.

Unless you do service calls you never deal with poop so... if you dont like poop don't do service calls. That being said If you want to make 200 bucks an hour do service calls.

For fucks sakes people nurses deal with more shit than plumbers.

Fuck obviously the person posting this has no idea of the reality of that trade
I have advanced scuba certs as well as welding certs and considering underwater welding school several of times
No you will not get employed doing it without specific education unless you just have the hookup
Norwegian? They pay the lowest of any cruise line, and they do not employee underwater welders whatsoever
Underwater welders will eventually make good money, but starting out after school you're doing to eat shit making $15-20 an hour for a couple of years as a tender, by the time you've worked 10-15 years or reached the age of 35, you are unemployable as a commercial diver of any sort, and your only option other than owning your own busines and employing other divers is working as a divemaster or teaching it

It's about having a purpose, clean your room and sort yourself out.

The best part about being a tradesman is you can take your skill with you regardless of location. You'll earn higher wages and do something productive for society unlike a liberal arts graduate.

Get a trade my boy. You cannot go wrong with a trade. You can be fully qualified in as little as 2 years, you get paid fairly well and some of the cleaner trades are pretty easy work.

Also a huge bonus for me is the fact that after you build up some contacts in the industry, you get yourself a van and some tools and you go self employed, and you be your own boss, work your own hours. I would recommend a trade over pretty much any profession to be honest, unless you have a good idea to work for yourself doing something else there is no easier way into self employment and making good money.

Can be good money if you know how to be a greedy prick. All these assclowns get paid hourly like retarded fucks because they work for companies. Go into flooring and hire a buncha Mexican sub contractors and make true god tier money. You don't need any of the certifications of HVAC or Plumbing you just gotta know what the fuck you are doing. I have 5 spics that work for me and I've already made 45k off them this summer alone doing commercial apartment complexes in Chicago. Pay them 10-15 bucks an hour under the table and get all the money. God I love this country.

>>131109196
Don't you have to go to some gay school for HVAC? I wouldn't mind it because I'm such good shape, and you can get into sales when it gets too tedious and big money in that. If you're actually smart compared to the average blue collar guy you can shine easier than you can in the corporate world.

If you really loved this country you would be paying taxes on your employees and hiring employees that pay taxes. between your cheating the system, cheating your fellow americans, and paying the low corporate taxes america offers, you are fucking over your fellow americans.
i understand, if you hired whites, you would deal with the same problems or possibly even more. you would have to pay more or end up with shit workers, especially somewhere like shitcago. your workers would likely make less money, even if you spent another 50% on employing them, between your share and their share.
money is not the root of all evil, love of money is the root of all evil.

>Thinking of getting my A&P, is it a good idea?
they do ok.
better yet, go to school for some kind of industrial maintenance, or manufacturing engineering. those guys have the real cake jobs, make more with a 2 year degree. if you can learn and get licensed to do electrical and learn to work with and program PLC's and VFD's (really simple) you will make a killing.
It's already a high paying, easy work field, and will only get better as more fucktards are replaced with robots. Eventually more people will try to go into that field, but the sooner you get into it, the better.
The ones that make the most are dual purpose maintenance type guys that do things like maintenance machinist

Another really good thing to go into it NDT, Non Destructive Testing and Certified Weld Inspectors. People who do things like x-ray and ultrasonic testing. can work for a corp or as a contractor and make a killing, little education, not that expensive, making the big bucks within a couple of years on the job
>>
>>131132824

Traitorous scumbag.
>>
>>131133383
>maintenance
oh yeah or look into Process Operation or Instrumentation & Electrical, those are both high paying fields with low education requirements, similar to maintenance but a little more specialized
>>
Reminder that no matter how much money out make, if you work in a trade you will always be Blue Collar. You can make make 300k as an electrician or whatever and still be disrespected by the elites.

Being a higher class is determined by your job NOT how much you makeq. If you want to be upper middle class, go to college, get your fuckin masters and get a comfy office job with benefits where you don't have to work too hard because your skills earn long term money instead of just support our infrastructure.

Also im pro union. Fuck you anti union guys

ahahahahaha you mean you pussiboi fucks who are all obese as shit and can barely do a goddamn thing considered "manual labor" besides carry around an 8ft ladder and run some goddamn MC cable?
