Who /bluecollar/ here?
feels good making good money, having zero student debt, and great job security
i wish but it's impossible to get a good working class job unless you have connections. if i could have gotten into a trade i probably would have done that rather than going to college. but trades are a meme and you need to have a family member in one if you want to get an apprenticeship.
>>73024836
>Job security
Nope. Over saturated field and will largely be replaced by robotics in the future. Your days are numbered, sorry. Just telling you how it is.
>>73024836
I bust ass working as a mover for a buddy of mine. 20$ hour plus tips. Can clear like 240 in a day.
>>73024836
I hear ya. It is nice. I can move anywhere in the US and I can easily scratch out a living. Though, I do wish I had done more in the way of education. I have lots of on the job, but that's it.
>>73024948
That's not true. I started working at a job at 18. Just sent in a resume. Got hired, made like $10 an hour for a year, then got bumped up to 14.50+a truck. Then again up to $23. Then I got into it with the owner, and quit/got fired. Went to work for his competition, was getting $28, and then I quit to start my own company doing general construction. Some days I can pull in like 2k, other days I sit at home and don't do shit.
>>73024836
in a city where the large companies lay off hundreds each week to cut costs and the small businesses pay isnt enough to live off. /bluecollar/ is dying up here hope it isnt the same for you guys
>>73024836
Went to school for HVAC/R, boss was shit and I never could bring myself to give service work another chance after that hell. So I decided to go into boilers and just got a job at a power plant. Chief A operating license, here I come.

I wanted to, but my parents are forcing me to go to university because of the college meme. Thanks Mom and Dad.
>>73026034
Honestly, if they are paying for it, major in something useful and get a white collar career.
My advice is pick medicine/dentistry
Working a stable office job at a pretty decent 53k salary with nice benefits.
Unfortunately most of my money goes to bills and rent.
>>73024836
24, own a home with a reasonable mortgage, full medical, full dental, 105k a year + stock options. But white collar. Stay mad poor fags
>>73026161
I'm doing finance and planning on being an analyst. They're not paying most of it.
Wish I left high school early and learnt a blue collar trade here during the mining boom 10-15 years ago. Tradies were getting paid more than lawyers here back then!!!

This, connections go a long way. I tried, didn't end up anywhere with follow ups, calls, etc. This goes for any trade job. Almost impossible.
>>73026203
Same boat as you. Rent in LA take a nice giant chunk. You have to be making 70k+ to live comfortably
>>73024836
feels good man, but those fuckers on the computers make double of us idc if they owe a lot they probly making enough to pay for their debt in like 5 years then they make money for themselves
>>73024948
I literally called the union and got hired on the spot to be a pipefitter apprentice.
>>73027121
can confirm
>>73024836
I'm a mining engineer. Can I be blue collar?
I wear a hardhat, metacarpal boots, and coveralls to work, and I drive a 2000 F150 with 200k miles.

Sanitation engineer with an oil company in hibernation and 70 acres in Amarillo. Feels good the benefits of nepotism.
>>73027284
yo fuck you, do real work
>>73024948
this is partly true
before I got my bluecollar job I have now I asked another one; some crane cable refurbishment company I think it was. they actually entertained the idea of hiring me but I didn't want to commit to something and said I only wanted a few years of work. this was three or four years ago
they're out there but you have to understand what kind of employees they want. connections help
>>73025070
then we will fix the robots. you people are worse than population alarmists
>>73027482
Are you trying to brag? lol
>>73027213
In Minneapolis the pipefitters only take applications for 2 weeks in January. Apprenticeship is 4 years.
>>73027541
Mechatronics engineers will be fixing the robots. Not you.
starting my sparky pre apprenticeship this month. Might specialise in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning or maybe install solar panels or something do my part for saving the planet you know?
>>73025070
You cant replace skilled trades with robotics. You would need a humanoid robot that can think, move, and communicate like a human would. And once that happens no job is safe.
>>73025070
>I don't know what it's like to actually work instead of pushing papers
Get an entry level job in the oilfield. Little slow right now, but you'll easily clear 100k a year beginning while working a schedule like 2 weeks on/1 week off
>>73027509
not my fault blue collar wages have stagnated, you can blame the beaners for that
>>73025070
This is what they've said for 60 years. It won't happen in 50 more years.
Janitor for a federal office building here. 31K a year but full benefits. About to take a two week paid vacation.
If people knew how little I did they would be pissed. I'm almost next to impossible to fire as well.

Don't do it. I have an accounting degree, quit my job and became po-po and my life is 16x better. Also make much more money for much less work and get paid to harass spics and niggers, so that's cool too.
>>73027308
I worked in the coal mines of Svalbard, and now I work in underwater tunnel construction. What much does this pay per year in America? It's about 130 000 us dollars in Norway, but I wanted to try to get a job over there for a couple of years.
>>73026373
If you a have mortgage you don't own a home.
>>73027940
thats cuz janitors are the jobs for ex druggies, cons, dropouts, ur lucky no one laughs at u at ur job. but dayummm at fed building what does that encompass, consulate offices?
>>73027839

you think gardeners are poor?
>$30 a house
>spend about a half hour tops for each
>split 2 or 3 ways
>>73027654
no, you won't.
just look at factories that already automated their shit.
it's a normal maintenance technician team that does repairs.
engineers are the brains, not the hands.
>>73027835
Yeah part of the reason you make so much money is the serious risk of death
Just the other day an oil rig helicopter crashed in norway, 13 dead
Going to school for plumbing at 25. A lot of guys in my class are pushing 40. The average age of a tradesman is 55 in Canada. It's a good time to get into a trade here imo
Anyone know a good blue collar job I can get into that pays good enough to own a home one day?
I live in Boston, wouldn't mind traveling
>being a laborer
>having fucked up back and knees by age 35
>>73028370
can confirm, family's friends do yards for real estates , new/empty houses have to look good to be sold
>>73028322
How much*
>>73024836
Hey, I enjoy all of this while being white collar.
I run an account at my company that makes about 1/3 of its revenue, and I just landed a $3 Million project. I think I'm secure.
>>73028472

Pipefitter here. No permanent job.my jobs are measured in weeks or months. Boom and bust contracting industry constantly going where the work is. $100k/yr is typical.
Pic not exactly related.
21 and still have some debt like ~15k but decent job driving a pump truck
>>73025482
Very similar career path as me.
Even getting into it with the owner.
Small time GC here. I directly hire 6 guys. Three teams for small reno and repair. Painting, basement finishing, tile, etc.
Hard way to scratch an almost decent living. Once you get ahead of the credit card debt , it's basically up-to you to fuck up. But that's true of all things..

not to mention sitting on your ass indoors day in and day out isn't better than the possibility of stressing your joints
>>73024836
Can confirm. I work construction in Oakland and S.F. Pays well. No student debt. Get to work outdoors. Made almost $95,000 last year. Lots of shitlibs in my city though. BASED spics and niggers and white trash on the job. They all hate shitlibs. Most are Trump supporters. Union bosses are very nervous. We still whistle and catcall nice looking women.

>$30 a house
>half hour tops for each
Assuming he works even some crazy schedule like 12 hours a day, at most he can do is 24 houses per day. So that's $720/day, $3600/week at best. And then split 2 or 3 ways, assuming 3, that's $1200/week. This is chump change hombre
I feel like this whole fucked up body thing is a meme, maybe 30 years ago you could get fucked over a 30 year period of hard labour, but there are so many availible tools and practices to ease the workers load now a days that you're laughing.
Most guys that work on floors dont crawl around on their hands and knees for example, they have braced carts they kneel in and can roll around, some are even battery powered so you dont have to scoot around physically, its essentially all the hard parts of being on your hands and knees(the physical contact) taken off since you're on a cushion. Maybe if you are working for some small time korean that wants you to lift shingles 5 stacks high up 3 flights of stairs all day sure, but now a days the road workers are just there to dig 30 minutes a day and watch the machine work the other 8 and a half.
>>73028472
Police, if you go to the right department. Austin and Fort Worth are both hiring, both starting at $50k+ annually with full benefits and retirement and opportunity for mucho OT. Relatively safe as far as large cities go, you're unlikely to get ambushed by dindus like you would in Baltimore or Chiraq.
DO NOT DO THIS ON THE COASTS, YOU WILL HAVE A BAD TIME. Texas PDs are pretty much completely uncucked but the guys that lateral in from California or East Coast departments have nightmare stories about how much their hands are tied in doing their jobs.
>>73028905

Dropped out of HS and went to Alaska when I was 17. I got hired as a laborer for a construction company. I worked a few summers for the company and eventually the boss started trusting me enough to run Machinery. During my 4th summer up there and 2nd operating machinery, I met a guy on a job site who was looking for operators on the north slope oil fields. I got my CDL during the winter and went up there the following summer. Now I make ~80k driving trucks and operating machinery on the oil fields in only 4 months. I NEET the rest of the year in Colorado doing nothing but getting high and shitposting/playing vidya 16 hours a day. I'm leaving to head back up there in 2 weeks. I might have a spot on a crab boat in November through a guy I know as well, which would mean I easily clear 100k this year for less than 5 months of work.

I dont buy it. From my experience the more complicated technology gets the more problems it has. When you add a bunch more variables there is alot more that can go wrong. Alot of things that are designed to be more efficient on paper end up not holding up so well once it actually gets exposed to the elements. Machinery will always break down.

No, I don't feel pathetic at all. Once I have a solid career and good pay my parents will stop supporting me, I had this talk with them. There is nothing wrong with parents paying for their children's education.

Well, if you've only lived for 20 years, it's your whole life until now. Anyways, that's good I guess. I personally wouldn't even loan 50 bucks from my parents, but I'm 30, so I guess that might be why. If I did, I'd feel like a total failiure.

I don't have much experience with coal besides an internship at an underground mine owned by one of the larger companies.
For miners they'll start you off at $80k-$110k depending on how much you're willing to work, obviously the medical and stock options are top notch as well. You can get up to $180k without a college degree assuming you don't go into management after you work there long enough. Engineers start at $85k with bonuses bringing them up to $110k nowadays (used to be about $150k starting for a go-getter when the coal industry was booming because of the $60k bonuses) and obviously that goes up the higher into management you get.
I personally work in aggregates, far more stable and you still get to travel and make a bunch of money after you pick up a master's.
>>73030542
yes they are. parents traditionally only fund kids in the US throughout high school and then they are kicked out on to their ass to face the world. it's very much a social stigma here to live with parents past the age of 18.

Gotta get commercial if you want to work year round.
Plus ill be licensed for wholesale here soon so ill give my contractor the finger and watch the manufactures offer me trucks and equipment at near cost.
With a complete installation, on the residential level, I could fetch 7000plus of profit in one days work.

Is it even possible for me to get a job in America? I tried in Australia where I was more than qualified to work in their mines, but they said I had to be a citizen. I can't give up my Norwegian citizenship. It's too good to give up. The pay seems like it's perfect.

Any advice from trade workers here?
>>73030900
Same here. I was kicked out when I was 17. I went to the navy for a year, but I didn't really get any good work experience. I can shoot cannons, all kinds of guns and I learnt a shitload about explosives. I'm so glad they kicked me out. My other friends are being shielded from the world, being helped by their parents all their lives. They only smoke marijuana and own a pc worth 1200 dollars. They're 31. I'd hang myself if I wasted my life like they have.

>>73031159
Now is really not the time to try to break into American mines. The industry is in the shitter and they are cutting corners wherever they can. I couldn't tell you exactly what your chances would be, but the place I worked had 8 women miners out of 700 total and 2 black guys. 0 international workers as far as I know. It's not like they need to bring in international workers when there are hundreds of unemployed coal miners with experience dying for a job.
Also, idk what your hours were like in Norway, but to pull in $130k a year in the US you'd need to work there at least 4 years and be working Saturdays and Sundays.

Lol at fucking wage cuck "Computer Progamming" and STEM memesters with their unpaid internships and falling wages thanks to competition from H1b Visa poo in the loo migrant workers.

>>73031390
fuck a trade, be police. veterans in my department get a $5k/yr bonus and can buy extra retirement, pretty good deal desu
Blue collar here, $100+ an hour doing fuck all.
All ausbros get sparky or plumber apprenticeships and let the dollars roll on.
The shortages in Sydney have been getting worse every year.

Wut. I'm a tunnel constructor, I've worked in the coal mines of Svalbard for years, I've worked as a carpenter for 5 years, plumber for 2, artillerist for 1 year. I own a villa and 1 more house I rent out in the city. I'm doing good imo. Aren't you the cuck?
>>73030701
Maybe in other countries but not in the US anymore
>>73030709
you're not supposed to just "be a welder". just working anywhere with machinery knowing how to weld makes you an asset and opens up all kinds of position possibilities
I took a 1 month class on dog grooming and now I make 50k a year.
>>73031320
That's why you gotta do better than them and leave your own business card when you leave.
I know, fuck em, but its the only way you'll get experience to qualify for your journeyman.

Machining.
>>73024836
And when you're 40 and have to go to the doctor every other week as your body deteriorates I'll be making 2-3 times as much as you ever did and giving your little girl $20 to lick butter off my nuts.
>>73031390
If you dont mind being covered in fiberglass crawling around on your hands and knees in a 120 degree attic than HVAC is a great choice.You will never run out of work to do.
>>73029757
All that means is that the blue collar workers will start buying robots and using them for parts of their jobs in certain circumstances.
>>73031527
I've considered police work outside of my state (Commiefornia) like a midwest state so I can be comfy but I really would like to learn a trade, something tangible if thats the right word for it.
>>73027308
No, you are a fucking bum. all miners hate you and you have no clue how mining REALLY works. You are extremely disrespected in your own workplace.
>>73024836
Laborer here, make 18/hr
Studying to become a lineman though.
>>73031629
>I've worked in coal mines
Welp looks like you'll be calling me when you're dying of cancer. You sacrifice your health for shitty pay.

>>73031680
doubt it, there is no machining work in developed america because they all buy new products. there's machining but it's a hobby for them
>>73024836
Millwright switch to work for the rail roads.
Feels pretty good. Set 40 hour week no lay offs and making the same amount of money before.
Honestly I have a huge respect for the motherfuckers that bust their asses for a paycheck rather than the little miserable cunts that think they're hot shit with a useless STEM degree. I've literally fired 200 engineers last year. These kids are stupid as shit and get all moody when you tell them their shit is in fact, shit.
>>73031463
Ah. Sounds pretty bad. I can make road tunnels tho. It's not in the minings business. I work 12 days, 12 hours each day, then I have 16 days off, so I guess I'd be retarded if I went to get some work in America.
>>73031485
The robots of the future are much more advanced.
>>73031694
>tfw I've inhaled a minute amount of fiberclass when I got to my first unit
That shit sucked, my nose was fucking killing me but I'd do that for a living if it meant always having work.
I'm sure a real AC repairsman will have access to protective gear
>>73031860
You haven't fired anyone you loser hahaha
>>73028575
15k for a pump truck youre getting fucked bad
>>73026422
IDK about these guys but I made 57k out of school to work a cushy analyst job with great benefits
>>73031761
Wish I could, but Im talking major vessels here- cargo ships, tankers and even civilian-operated military ships. Im not working on a yacht or anything lol.
>>73031745
130 000 us dollars a year is shitty pay? We used masks and the best work gear to not fuck up our health. It's way worse to breathe the air in a big city like new york or honk kong than it's in the mine.
>>73031958
>he's STILL posting
you actually work a register don't you
how much student debt do you got son be honest

>Honestly I have a huge respect for the motherfuckers that bust their asses for a paycheck rather than the little miserable cunts that think they're hot shit with a useless STEM degree. I've literally fired 200 engineers last year.
If all you do is fire people then your job could be automated pretty quick...
>>73031649
So you become a pipe fitter to move onto something else?
>>73031884
Mining is a job with too many variables for a robot to just "take over" it has for the last been for the last 30 years, and it will forever be. Machines can't predict how rock will react in a process such as bolting.
>>73031888
Yup.
I wear a mask, turn the roof mount attic fan to full exhaust and leave the door open for fresh air.
Really not bad in my opinion.
>>73032101
0 debt and more money than you will ever have in your life.

I'm in Oregon, and I've been thinking about going for a job with the police/sheriff's department.

>benefits I don't use because I don't believe in jew science
What the fuck are you bragging about. You signed a deal with the devIL. You got credit cards too I bet you do. You're probably waiting for more money aren't you. The type of guy that says 75-150k is middle class? I made 52k last year and I'll be working part time by 21. You faggots bitch about global warning and over population but think minimalists are the dumb ones. Ted Kaczynski was right
>>73031888
We never use protective gear really but nobody would stop you if you wear a mask or something. The worst part about attics is the tight spaces and the heat though. Its way too hot in there for me personally to consider wearing a mask.
>>73032033
What's your position? 3/E here.
>>73030088
mfw cop bro or paramedic bro
I'm a nurse so I guess I'm 'brown' collar
>>73031860
Id buy you a beer if I could. Worked with tons of annyoing Field Engineers back in my Oilfield days. Stuck up pricks. We actually made more money than they did though, haha.
>>73032243
Just got in the rail road industry....Looking at whats been going on boy, we are doing ethanol and petroleum plants at the moment.
Fucking power plants are cutting down bad. I haven't done one car yet from any BP, NIPSCO or any other big ones.

>>73031984
Kek no ~50k but I agree I should be making more but I'm pretty comfy and only been doing it for ~7 months so not going to go full Jew on them until I feel they are most needy which is very soon
>>73032122
no, that's not me. at my work like everyone can weld; mechanics, bucket operators, drivers, and various other positions
some better than others but still. it's just something to throw in a resume i would think
>>73030701
The guy was talking about L.A. so it was the most liberal and most shitty of the liberal shithole cities. Housing there is expensive as fuck.

Im just a standard AB. Deck Department. Hoping to get my Officers License in another year or so. Are you Unionized? MEBA?
>>73032572
Nope, parents pay for everything. But keep grasping at straws because you're going to die poor :^)
>>73024836
Coal miner here.
>>73032475
Once the coal industry makes a come back, I'm sire you'll have more work.
I'm a Blacksmith and jewelry smith. The blacksmithing is mostly a hobby now. Jewelry is what brings in my salary.
Does this count?
>>73032547
they send it right back home
>>73032714
What do you do in the coal mine?
>>73026659
but can get paid up to 800,00 dollars a year as a surgeon, you can pay back that shit in your first year of work
>>73032243
So you have to get your certs like any other trade right?
How did it go for you and how much do you make?
I imagine there is plenty of worl for AC repairmen in the Southwest
>>73032929
jerk eachother off slowly
>>73032643
Yes Unionized, CMSG. You're probably SIU then? I did the same thing, hawse piped it up from oiler. Good luck with your ticket bro!
>>73032873
Do you deal Blood Diamonds?
>>73032668
>going to die poor when I have 0 payments on anything and am solidly in the black

Woah, that would make for some crazy pay if you're coming out of the 20 year plan.
>>73030045
>Keep slaving away for shit pay.

make $55/hr as a union steamfitter
still live at home with parents
make 1400/wk after taxes
gross 110k/year
this is all before overtime
See you are going into medicine but you won't be making money for another 9 years(29) even longer if you're a surgeon 11 years(31), I'll be retiring 9 to 11 years after you start working... have fun slaving away medcuck
>>73025070
Not likely. Been a machinist 13+ years and mechanic for 4. There are some places that get CNC machines but they still need operators, programmers and matinence etc. Production places can use CNC but still there are people there. I was a lead hand in 2nd largest big rig trailer axle company and we did have lots of CNC machines but they cost almost 1,000,000 per machine. Lot's of operators still and many other positions there machines just can't do
>>73033104
howd you get that job
I think these threads should be prefaced with "how and who got you the job"

No. All diamonds I receive are verified and the production chain tracked in accordance with law.

Zero because you're posting on 4chan and used the word chad without referring to a specific individual.
>>73033230
You realize that a police officer makes about as much as the average college graduate right?
If they get promoted to detective they often make you even more.
I'm going for a Bio degree in college right now, but if I can't get a decent job I'm going to do the training and join the force ASAP.
>>73029965
Please employ me.
>>73033596
You should ctrl+f for chad desu, you might be surprised.
>>73033596
But I never used the word chad
Checkmate.
Honestly, though, I do respect hard-working blue collar workers. My dad worked in the oil fields and always pushed me to get an education so I wouldn't have to work in the Texas heat.
>>73033039
Nice man! Thanks. Im actually SUP, which is smaller than SIU but a more superior Union IMO. Know a lot of cool dudes from SIU though. Keep on keepin on my man.
>>73032988
Every state has their own journeyman requirements and tests so check those out first and see which route best suites you.
Also you'll need cfc certification from the EPA which is 100$ a test here where I live. -try and get the universal and not just type 3.
Definitely in the southwest with all the heatpumps (doubles as both ac and heater, next to no longevity because of the work it has to do year round, etch)
Unfortunately theres no gas fired furnaces out there so you wont get any experience in those but who cares?
>>73026785
For a RN. Ex wife was one and it's a pretty good job. 40k+ in student loans and 4 years to start just over 20 an hour. She's done lots of upgrade courses and is making like 37 now as liaison between doctors and nurses. Also btw- nursing is cancer for people's minds. The ex slowly turned into a full bitch with major emotional probs from watching so many people die. A few buddy dated nurses and had the same outcome also.
>>73032988
You just need your EPA card so you can work with freon and thats it. its a really easy test to pass.

>majoring in Software Engineering
>full of retards that thought Computer Science would be too hard
>competition is non-existent for grad school because anyone halfway competent is majoring in Computer Science or real engineering
>current school is so desperate for SE PhD students that they only stay they are looking for "well qualified students instead of giving definite minimum requirements
I'm fully aware that SE is practically a meme degree, but when I have a PhD that I was practically the only person pursuing I can always get a cushy job in academia if I can't get a high paying industry job.
Going to college is only a shitty idea if you have a shitty path ahead of you and still think you're entitled to anything.
My father managed a factory so I got hired on to start at $22 an hour. I quickly moved as far up in management as I could without a degree, then I quit when I was offered a job at a contractor for a Air force base at $34 an hour and I'm currently still doing that.
