GOD TIER TRADES

These numbers are fucking absurd. Average for a dive welder is closer to $25 an hour. Idiot

Im not doubting what you make, this is just a general question: everytime i search average salaries ( of course I know that these are the averages and dont represent what you can get after years of hard work ) of trade jobs and they usually come no where close to what people claim. Does someone want to explain the mechanics of that?

Also, that seems like a rather interesting field to get into. How did you come across it and what's it like to work in that field?

I'm personally in uni (for a non-meme degree though), but I would just like to say that I respect people like you 1000x more than some idiot who did organic videogame art design communications or some shit.

I know my opinion is irrelevant, but I'd just like to state it anyway. I think you made a very wise choice.

Mostly it depends if you're self employed contractor or you work for a company.

The rates are usually 50% lower for a company man then self employed. In exchange you get a job security and you don't have to pay accountant yourself.

I've found if you're good technicaly and you have decent communicaiton skills it's better to go self employment route, you'll get constant stream of jobs either way (I often endup working 2 jobs at once if one gets extended), and you get paid even twice as much as if you work for outsourcing company.

I'm making 40k a year doing pest control for my dad and will own the business one day.

Is there anything I can do in the meantime to increase my income though? I need at least 60k a year if I want to start a family I would think. I'm 25 right now...

I'm in a god tier trade but you can't get in, OP.
