A local (and very well off) welding company wanted me to pay for my own courses and equipment when I applied. It would have been hundreds of dollars out of my pocket, for MAYBE a chance to be taken on as an apprentice, if I withstand being the shop bítch for long enough.
PART TIME.

yea,

FUCK OFF

Those “small business” owners:

“Buying my third luxury car is so expensive, why are prices going up? Must be the government”

Unreal. What do they expect you to live off?

This is so crazy to me. I got into a low voltage trade and everything was paid for. I brought minor hand tools, but everything over 100$ was provided. And that is like standard around me (for new guys). Also amazing wages once you're a well experienced worker. (Talking 5 years or so).

Maybe not welding, or electrician, but pipefitters, plumberd, fire guys, all great trades.

What kind of work is that if I were to go looking? I really enjoyed control wiring for HVAC systems, didn't enjoy lugging boilers up flights of stairs or brazing compressors in place in Manhattan with 1/2sqft of space to work in...

My work specifically i very company dependant, but data wire, access control, fire, cameras, all the fun "low voltage" stuff. Normally you'll find Access, Security, and Cameras bundled. Sometimes with Fire, sometimes Data. All depends on who ya look for!

Sorry, it’s just that in Italy it’s the exact, same thing

I wasn't aware, that truly blows...
I wonder what generation that kind of attitude will end at. There's nothing to gain by not even letting people get their foot in the door
