Because we are told you are a failure if you don't go to college. Any trade job is seen as well he could not do any better.
There is a pretty hot lib that works here. His daughter is almost out of high school. We are talking about our kids, and I asked about her, saying she should be out of school now, or close.
Oh she is a senior this year.
Cool, does she know what she wants to do for her next step.
She wants to be a welder, he said with some discust.
Oh that is fantastic, those people can make some real good money, and she is going to be one of the people that actually makes things, she is going to be building the world, making it go you should be so proud of her.
yeah.
Still to this day it is not seen as a "good" job.
"Good" electricians, plumbers, any trade job are very hard to come by.
That is why people don't want to work those jobs, the high schools shame poeople that are interested in them, and who runs the HS.
Welder? If she happens to be left handed and becomes skilled enough to pass x-rays with no cut outs and only cursory repairs 95% of the time she will be the unicorn that the pipeline folks dream of. Willing to travel, boyfriend helper, and she will never be out of work.
As long as Brandon, and his handlers, keep their nose out of it.
Hobo, I've been out quite a while. Whats the current hourly rate for welder and helper with rig on a furnished job?
Thank you,
MrSmith
