Welding
But the money isn't great unless you work in the oil industry or join the pipefitters union
That's great. My dad had to get a ton of welding certifications when he first started working, and he still knows how to.
One of the worst parts about some universities is how snobby the students are. I honestly sympathize more with working class people even though I grew up upper middle class.
He works in the semiconductor industry
Pay is outstanding
Went to high school with a guy who got a welding certification and made 40/hr after hs
Is he union?
Damn. Most I've ever made is $20/hr, and that was only during the midterm elections doing outreach and statistical modeling.

Just wondering, is "damn" considered profanity by the mods here?
Trucking is underrated
Not mutually exclusive
Owner/operator can make big money and work very little, or not at all if you hire a driver
@Chris N. - CA not typically, unless used excessively or in conjunction with other words
Everyone fearmongers about trucking jobs being gone in a few years due to automation. That's BS. Look on any job site and 1/4 of the jobs are trucking or driving-related.
Thanks, @ophiuchus
If you don't have a family then over the road trucking is a great way to earn big bucks and buy a house before you settle down
I absolutely love driving, so I'd do trucking in a heartbeat, but most places here in Cali require you to be 21.
Which is totally fair. I wouldn't want someone with two years max of driving experience (18) driving an 18-wheeler, either
They’re fun to drive too (non automatics) I used to work on trucks
@Chris N. - CA my husband got his CDL in California after college. If you want a gap year before grad school it's very educational & interesting to throw a little blue collar work into your resume.
Thank you! I'll certainly look into it, @missliterallywho 😃
Didn't know that, very cool
Id like to get one
Cleopatra and the entire Ptolemic dynasty were Evropean Macedonians, which is correctly pronounced with a hard c
@Chris N. - CA If you're intetested in trades, you could join the National Guard. I have a couple buddies who went in and got out with hvac certifications.
@Valaska he can tell you all about it this weekend!
@Virgil Thanks for the suggestion! My dad’s a military man, and he said his work in the chemical corps was a massive help later on in his career.
You can make a good amount of money with a CDL @Chris N. - CA my dad makes $22 when he drives a garbage truck
Of course Cali and what you were to do with it varies a lot but etc but if you got a job wih it you'd be sitting well for being 18
Yeah, I’m trying to save up as much as possible in case I don’t get a good fellowship for grad school. Doing a trade while in college would be a massive benefit due to the pay. Thanks for the suggestions, friends. 😃
I basically went to university because I thought I had to
@Nemets To be fair, they also claim Mozart, Shakespeare, Hamilton, Julius Caesar and now Peter the Great. The fact that she was European is probably why they are claiming her.
specialty trades that are less likely to be outsourced or automated are a good decision.
i got my degree a few years back, but am looking to get into becoming an elevator tech because of the high pay and projected growth
I think I may have butt typed something, although I am not sure what or when. Please ignore and disregard.
