    Had my CDL 27 years. NCCCO certified over 3 years. It is extremely difficult to find a crane job without experience. Trucking companies will put anyone with a pulse into a truck & pray they don’t kill anyone. I drive 132 miles round trip daily for my crane job because they were the only company willing to give me a chance. 90% of my job I’m operating a 10ton boom truck but get to run 50ton rough terrain cranes, too. My coworker has run tower cranes for $50/ hour. Hard to believe the $80/hour, but I guess it’s possible.

Those 5 years in college/grad school KEY years for retirement/future planning (your $ saved will double by age 55 if you start saving at 20 years old vs 25 yrs),... Not to mention the few hundred thousand dollar financial burden you get in place of it for the cost of education. So I guess for many trades the question is "are the physical demands/taxing worth it for more pay AND no college debt"... I think I know my answer haha. Education is supposed to be an "investment" both in time & money, so the return needs to be worth it. Our current college system has many misplaced priorities, and the result is many "average" people that get a degree but either aren't able to use it, just don't use it to work better paying jobs then their field, or are able to use it for a limited return on their tuition investment. Basically, I suggest that no teen seeks a college education unless they are absolutely sure of their career goals/requirements, and NEVER because "they thought college was what they were supposed to do because every adult says that".

    When we use to call the crane to lift platforms off the ground in a rigging facility on to a truck that operator spent 3-4 hours sitting in the cab and about 15 mins moving stuff. Got paid from the time he started the crane until he parked it again.

    He's over exaggerating the pay but he could but spot on but the hours are small. Most ppl thinking because he's making $80-$85 an hour means he's getting lots of money. If you research the median salary for a Crane operator is around $60K-$65K and could be as low as $40K

Im a hard worker and willing to get certified for whatever need be i just don’t know where to start honestly… i’ve tried to research career fields but it goes down a rabbit hole of specialities and estimated salary, which isn’t always what i’m looking for. Any guidance or tips would be awesome! I’m genuinely just trying to escape the standard 9-5 bs barely making enough to scrape by. Right now anything above 14/hr is considered good money for me so it’s truly not hard to beat. Lol
