Being on your own as an electrician sucks. Join a union. $62k a yr sucks. Make 75k+ plus on your checks. Medical and retirement is paid for by employers. You never see it or deal with it. It's great for a man child like me.
It depends on ur lifestyle. Union has limits, fees u gotta pay and have to share power tools 🤯 Being on your own you can easily make 120k plus and use ur own tools 🤷🏾♂️ I personally like union when I’m not traveling
Everyone wanting to work from home while the trade industry may be exploding. Specially with EV cars, houses need to be updated to support charging, maintenance, etc.
I lol'd at the 4 percent drop for auto mechanics on the chart. I'm an auto tech, looking at other trades, and alot of people are leaving the auto industry. Everyone is tired of the flat rate rat-race, trying not to lose your ass on jobs, and if you dont go that route you end up at a small independent who wants to pay 16/hr and have certs, do everything, work saturdays, no benefits, and they want stuff pumped out like a dealer. Imo automotive is on the bottom of the trades list. Do do it unless you really want to.
Hey guys someone help me out here. I'm not particularly handy and know nothing about this stuff (I can only hook up TV's and game systems) but I learn quick especially with repetition. I'm a cool worker (when it's time to work I'm ready to go but if there's nothing to do I'm chilling) I'm good with being on time and being professional. I just smoke weed when I'm off. Do I sound like a good candidate?
Don’t be scared away! Ask for a better journeyman someone who is willing to teach! It’s a hood job I heard and I went through what you guys are talking about. Hang in there
My dad has owned his own carpentry business for 20 years, he clears 175 each year with ease and sometimes pushes 225k, 2005 when Katrina hit he made 350k It really sucks in terms of physical health tho so if you value that then I wouldn’t say carpentry.

Definitely worth a try. North Carolina is very cheap compared to where I live (DC).
