Shawn, you still around? How’s the layoff been going? You manage to find yourself employment? Man it’s gotta be tough but I hope all is well and you’re taking care of yourself. Get back to me when you can. Andrew

How u doin we needa update vid

Thank you for the shout out brotha! And yup I’m finishing up my 5th year! Graduation May 1st!.....but the quickest 5 years of my life...a lot of ups, and very few downs which actually turned out to be blessings! A lay off is the time when you are put to the test,which I’ve been there twice. It makes you more appreciative of your trade, so when you get back out there you’re out for blood(in a good way)giving a million%......you’re time is coming bro!.....I’m going to keep checking in with you, til then keep the vids coming bro, and thanks again!

Shawn P. Been awhile. I recently enrolled in hvac school. Skilled trade jobs are awesome. I seen you got laid off. I recently learned too that the hvac field does the same thing. It’s just part of the trade but hey, in reality our jobs aren’t ever going to be replaced by robots. So I feel safe that way. I hope it really works for you brother. Don’t give up no matter what. The off seasons aren’t too bad hopefully. We just have to learn to budget our income on peak seasons.

Might be a bit late, and I'm not sure where you're from, but the union by me has a really good veterans program that's only 18 weeks instead of going through an entire apprenticeship. I'm not exactly sure how it works but one of the guys I worked with did it.

Hey buddy! What happened to you? Is everything alright? Little worried. Hoping everythings okay.

More videos !!! Hope all is well

Any kind of update? I just binge watched your videos, super green, thinking about getting into it, thank you for the videos bruh.

Hey Shawn p! Hope all is well for you! Miss the videos are you still doing the apprenticeship? I have my interview for my local union early August for plumbing

Are you still in? Curious to how hard it is being older and living off apprentice wages with potential layoffs and what not.

@kadinsmith2376

3 жыл бұрын

The lay offs will come and go and most of the time not based on performance, the wages as an apprentice based on state are pretty good, and if you keep in the trade you will come to see that if you are pretty good with your money then you will live comfortably. Hope all is well good luck to you!

Make an updated video man!

Hey bro hope all is well!

What happened? I feel like this was that movie "The Little Things", left us on a cliffhanger

Need a video update bro.

Hey bro how’s the apprenticeship going ? Bring on some more videos !

This is my opinion not looking to offend anyone I typed this very fast so if you need me to explain more let me know. I would love a update too on you though brother hope all is well I am currently in an apprenticeship program for Pipefitting myself and it’s crazy I would say having to deal with the school working then getting laid off and not wanting to depend on unemployment and waiting on a call for business agent to tell you where the work is and it being possibly far 1hr to 1hr half and you not knowing until you get the call also not being able to really decline work as apprentice too because your told you can’t and you don’t want to build bad rep around your name been reconsidering a lot lately though it’s definitely different experience for everyone and also the consistency is not there as much as you would think things change with short of notice leaving you to think if your not a company guy you will be outta work soon so yeah you got to plan for other ways to make money or keep going through with the same cycle of working then layoff unemployment or working odd jobs to keep up and pay dues my it looking to reconsider but your videos give me great insight

How does pay work for you guys? I am currently trying to get into the carpenters union. They start off at $18 an hour. The only problem i am having is actually getting into the union. I am from Jersey so it shouldn't be that difficult to get in but idk 🤷 It just makes me want to consider to pursue something else and welding is something i might be interested on.

Hey man idk if you’ll get a notification or not but after you passed the test how long was it until you were accepted in ?
