When in reality this trade is probably worth a minimum of $30 an hour. And anything over $40 should be considering a blessing.

    I have four university degrees, and cherish them all; but over the years I have become an advocate of de-emphasizing the status of college degrees. Unless you want to be a doctor, a lawyer, a research scientist, or some other very specialized professional, there is very little need for college. I'm not condemning it, just saying that the importance of college has been grossly oversold in the US.
    Tradesman, apprenticeship, guilds, and vocational schools need to be made available and offered to young people in our high schools. The work is good, hard work and dedication are rewarded -- not just financially but from the satisfaction of a job well done.
    I don't really know the context of these videos (is this man their instructor, or is this an interview process?), but I like how he is encouraging them and giving them an idea what their talent -- and it IS a talent -- is worth. The youth of America needs to understand that working a trade is respectable, plentiful, and profitable work in America.

    But just couldn’t find the work, so I did other things
    After seeing this I think I might get back in to welding again just to be able to Make ends meet because of how high the Economy has gone up and I Already have the welder just got to Fire it back up and start working it again! Thank You for Showing me How much I was Really worth in this Video. People don’t Realize just how much they are Really Worth until they see Something like this,

    I love the scale in this teaching method. Works well with students. Anytime you assign a dollar amount to work it seems to really stick. 50 dollars equals 100 percent. Minimum wage being passing at 60 percent. So $15 is passing, $50 is an A+.

    The trades are great. But the best thing you can do, besides picking up a trade and mastering it, is taking some business classes or getting a 2yr degree at night. Then you will have a better understanding of what you will see at whatever business employs you. Ore importantly it will make it much easier for you to start you own business.
