>started a sheet metal apprenticeship last week >spent my entire time working on a roof in the sun >fucking baked me neet ass alive >getting difficult to deal with heat because im a former basement dwelling cuck >whole family says they're proud of me and glad to see me out there doing shit >they weren't anywhere near as proud of my other jobs i had in the past >can only think of how i'm gonna get scorched again even with sun screen starting tomorrow in 95*F weather >also we work 10 hour days >starting at 14.67$ an hour >get like 3$ raise each year i complete >also do free schooling 2-3 nights a week on top of 40 hr work week >fuck my free time
feel free to share your wage feels anons and no neets aloud
at least you get the weekends off, and if you're working 40 hour weeks and 10 hour days I'm guessing you get a an extra day off here or there
what are you expecting to make in the future after you're done with the apprenticeship
William Parker
This is the shitty part of the process, but you'll be pleased you have a trade when you're done. Sheet metal working is the kind of thing you can do just about anywhere in the world. Once you're qualified, move somewhere less shitty.
Leo Martin
first year i make 15$ second year is 17$ third year is 20$ 4th year is 24$ and then when I'm a journeyman i should be making a little under 30$ an hour according to the flyer i was given that could change depending on where i end up working
Lucas Phillips
yeah i want to find a nice place to live when i finish it up, hopefully find a waifu then
Brody Cruz
what this guy said user im in training for electrical engineering and im in my shitty process part too but once we reach our mastership or journeymen we basically get paid for sitting on our asses supervising if u get that far at least
Christopher Hughes
>he fell for the trades meme pfft hahahaHAHAHA
You fuckin retard. I bet you think universities are only good for becoming an "SJW" right, retard? Enjoy your broken bones and miserable life competing with 85 IQ Mexican scabs for manual labor jobs. You think it's bad now, just wait until winter hahahahaha. I bet now you're wishing you did your chemistry homework now, huh? Suddenly an air conditioned office job doesn't sound so bad, huh?
lmfao. Everybody take a good look at OP, because his fate is that shared by all pol tards who decide to become plumbers since "school wasn't for me." 70 hour work weeks doing something a monkey could do. Shameful, absolutely shameful
Levi Green
Sunscreen and workout more.
Matthew Young
good luck to you user yeah i started running since i got my ass kicked at work and got a few things of sunscreen to bathe myself in before work
Logan Brooks
STEM field aren't for everyone. There's no need to be mean.
30/hr sounds decent
Benjamin Mitchell
make sure you re-apply the sunscreen every 2 hours or so
Kevin Moore
>job was comfy >had its batches of high work load but it was overall very bearable >my boss thought I looked bored and transferred some territorial responsibilities from a coworker to me >job no longer comfy >find myself thinking about work sometimes at home It was good while it lasted. At least it pays well.
Xavier Hill
assuming you either drop out of college or just don't go entirely, what other options would you have for making a decent living? >trades >military other than that what else should i do with my life?
Joshua Hill
Shit man, good luck to you.
Sounds hard but that's some really decent money.
Hudson Ward
Maybe you'll actually grow a pair and become a man instead of a boy if you stick with it. I know it sounds shitty but this is honestly the best thing for you, it'll toughen you up, give you a work ethic. You'll gain actual employable skills as well as learning to deal with blue-collar bantering. No REAL change comes easy, most neets are miserable in their little basement anyways but it's so easy to just keep doing the same shit and never change. And once you have your own money and a car and shit you'll develop some sense of self worth and maybe start walking a little taller. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
Colton Barnes
Why act like this? It only shames yourself and makes you look bad. No way you are happy writing stuff like this.. you can be better user
Landon Bell
Become a trap and whre yourself out for money
Alexander Ross
>become a trap >doesn't know i have a mega hairy asshole
Grayson Williams
>this gay NEET is jealous OP got a job and hung up the bucket
>finally get my first job (in fast food) >first day while being trained >"haha this isn't so bad. kinda boring, but pretty simple" >second day of training >get introduced to more stuff, rushed and scolded a lot more for doing shit wrong >already want to quit why do I have to be such a pathetic retard
>Age 20 >Working as a Grocery Clerk, $11.36/h with 40 hrs per week >Sick and vacation pay, regularly allowed to sample and snack on foods >Attending college fulltime, 6-7 courses per semester (only 5 this summer) >Attend college for free on scholarships It's a comfy life. By the end of next year I'll have enough to buy a house at 22.
Any decent townhouse is going to cost around $150,000. Right now I've got about $8,000 saved up, and I plan on using anywhere from $15,000-$20,000 on a down payment. With my credit I'll be able to get a really good rate. I live in Arizona, Maricopa area. I wish it was cheap.
Zachary Parker
I've decided to start looking for an apprenticeship today. I've had a few years of engineering classes in Uni (didn't graduate though) that I'm hoping will help me find something.
Any electrician or mechanicbots here? What was it like?
John Nguyen
I'm a collegefag and I wish every fucking day I'd have just done a trade like op.
Elijah Rodriguez
Move to the Midwest and buy a little old 2 bed 1 bath home for 30-45k instead like me lol
Brandon Rodriguez
> found out today my new job is basically going to be 12 hours of laboring a day
Kill me.
Angel Turner
>be programmer >don't do shit >make enough money to live out my nightmarishly manchildish fantasies and none of you can stop me
Does anyone know if it is possible to be salaried at a retail job (walmart, target, best buy, aldi, etc etc) and have them actually give you about 40 hours a week? They sound like comfy jobs but I don't wanna be worked to the bone. Or if they do give you more than 40 you get OT?
Noah Gutierrez
>make enough money to live out my nightmarishly manchildish fantasies Do tell.
Jaxson Turner
hahahahahahahaa
salary at any retail place means when all your part time hourly people go home when their shifts end, you are left to stay however many hours it takes to finish the work
Thomas Harris
Growing in Christ and spreading the good news through good works, of course. Same as any other red-blooded American.
Jacob Hall
Not entirely. At walmart there is a night shift that picks up where day time left off. Still I do know they work salaried people long hours at wm but idk if it's like that everywhere.
Isaac Turner
You could have just said that you don't want to talk about it.
