    5. Carpentry 4. Masonry 3. Plumbing 2. Electrician 1. HVAC/R Any trade is awesome to get into! But if you are focused on financial sustainability, focus on trades that are heavily involved in home improvement because both residential and commercial properties always remodel, reconstruct, and renovate their properties. Painters 🎨, Plumbers 🪠, Electricians ⚡️, HVACR 🔥/❄️ Technicians, Masons 🧱, Carpenters 🪵, Surveyors 🧭, and even Interior Designers 🏡can make bank 💵.

    Been a Diesel mechanic for 21 years. Make 90k with little overtime. The pay to start has gone up quite a bit the last few years. Gone are the days of getting yelled at and treated like crap. You don’t have to go to school to start out. I have guys making 28 hr to start as an apprentice. My work pays for your college and your kids. That was brought on by Covid and employee retention. Construction is not guaranteed. 2008 lost lots of jobs. Mechanics are job proof. Always work. We have a shortage also. No one pisses us off. Employers know we can find a job in a week.

    I been in the hvac/r trade almost 40 years. I'm not a workaholic, though had I been , lots of money to be made. Never been unemployed. Just jinxed myself. But also. You would learn more than you realize. You will learn electric and piping work also maby sheet metal. My point being, in hvac you can save money by doing minor electrical and plumbing repairs around your own home. Your not a plumber or electrician, but you will learn enough not to burn your house down and change your hot water heater if needed. That's a caviot to that trade.

I would research the trade Via u tube and try to figure where you might want to do.ie residential ,commercial and industrial. Industrial is where you might make the better hourly rate. Do you want to a service tech or installation. You can make a lot of money if you're willing to put a lot of time into it. Lots of over time ,maby after you get good experience get a Contractors license and maby start your own business. It's all up to you. The key thing is you have to like the work. Yes you can have tough days and get dirty. Also, there are control companies that specialize in building automation for hvac . That's cleaner and also challenging, but it's cool stuff. No pun intended. Good luck.

The trade is in desperate need of people. Machine shops where I live are always hiring, pretty easy to work for, and pay pretty well, and its not physically taxing. If you get into programming or metrology the pay goes up even more.

I was fortunate in that i was trained in both at the same time.

    @@mattraps1 Go get your CDL then take a course in your area. They are usually about 1-2 weeks. I would start with mobile crane and a rigger certification. A lot of places will send you to training, I received mine while working in the oilfield. Call your local crane businesses and apply there as a driver/helper. Just about everywhere in the country needs NCCCO crane operators. You'll pretty much never be out of a job. Get your CDL first so you'll be much more marketable when you're starting out. Get your CDL certs as well. Doubles/Triples, Tanker, Hazmat while you''re at it. I have zero interest in being a truck driver, but it has opened up a lot of doors. Youcan make $70-$100k just doing fluid changes on heavy equipment. Lots of opportunity out there.

    14 months to 2 years depending on the school you can get a FAA A&P license to work on aircraft. It's in high demand and if you work for a major airline you can make up to about $65 an hour after about 6-8 years. Even most of the regional airlines pay well now. If you like working overtime there are usually opportunities to make even more money. Working on helicopters pays well too, but it's harder to get your foot in the door without military experience.

    @@jackjack4412 Yes, I know many A&P mechanics who have done this. I work for a regional and don't really want to move up to a major because I have high seniority and I'm getting closer to retirement. I would take a short term pay cut to move to a major and by the time I'm topped off on the pay scale I would be very close to retirement. I also don't want to move. I live in a medium size city and my airport doesn't have a lot of maintenance. Moving is one of the downsides. The regional I work for is owned by a major airline and they hire our mechanics all the time. It is very easy to get hired out of school at a regional. There are also companies like GE Aviation, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney, Boeing, etc. that hire A&Ps. Quite a few community colleges have aviation maintenance programs and there are several for profit schools like Embry Riddle, National Aviation Academy, Sparta, etc.. Other downsides, especially starting out, is you will most likely be working 3rd shift. There is usually overtime. That could be a plus or a minus depending on the individual. I was told years ago that this occupation was going to be in high demand and it is now getting to that point for all the older mechanics retiring. The pandemic accelerated that and pay is increasing quite a bit.

    Roto rooter is a scam. I been down that road. They say you can make 100k. What they don’t tell you is they start you around minimum for the training period, after that you’re 100% commission. That means you only get paid if you sell services. If you don’t sell anything, well, you go home empty handed that day. I met some of the scummiest people in that company. The guy that was ‘training’ me literally told me he doesn’t care about helping people he only cares about the money. He was on the phone with another technician bragging about upselling a customer $800 for a part that only costs $50. He also convinced a customer to pay over $1000 for a repair that he didn’t even know how to do. He told the customer we were going to the hardware store to get the parts, while we were driving he pulled the van to the side of the road and went on “KZread university” to learn how to fix it. So much for being a professional. Oh, and they have a standard price list for services. Somebody called us in to fix a toilet, it needed a new flapper, the tech told him roto rooter charges $650 for that, which is true. Customer said a new toilet would only cost me $200. We left empty handed. I left before the first week was up.

Disposable people, underbid jobs, now is the time to school but not to work in the field. Now if you got in with a union? oh yeah, union apprentices and electricians make bank and they're about to be the only ones left. I'm really surprised you didn't mention Low voltage/data/telecomm.

    I'm 56, but as a master auto tech. to start off with, 120K a year was the norm working on ICE's.. I know times change, so I reluctantly got my high voltage certification to work on the recent push for electric. That then lead me down the path to be a full engineer. However, with all these changes from gas to electric, 20 yrs. later, I'm making the same amount and absolutely hate my job working on these rolling cell phones. I would give the world to go back to the old days. So much more fun. Getting your hands dirty, rebuilding engines in house and the pride of a job well done. No more. Simply out sourcing to specific specialist that are great at what they do but don't know lefty loosy from righty tighty. Very sad. What do I tell my son? I am at a lost for what to tell him what to do. Any suggestions?

Plus I know where I'm at every day, my hours are consistent, I don't have to drive in to work just to find out can't work for the day, and I don't have to use my vehicle for the companies benefit. Even PM's and estimators only made 60-70k and they are salary so their per hour gets low real quick. Even CDL dump truck drivers barley make over 20hr and are often laid off in the winter.

    @Zacadelic Trex. I make 24.02 hr (55,000 base pay)+(2400 attendance bonus) then add a few days of OT. Work weeks 36/48 12hr days. This is on the lower end around the area for warehouse but the other places make 7 day work weeks mandatory, 12hr shifts as well. I still have two more positions I can move up before changing job titles. Typically I tag or stack boards, sometimes box up pellets. For the most part it's easy money. I maybe do about a fourth the amount of effort as I did in construction. The problem with construction is everyone and their brothers thinks they can do it because they can pick up a hammer, which drives down labor cost because there's a surplus.

    @Casey Nelson that's gross not net. Second the 70hr is for small jobs not large jobs. But the going rate for labor and materials around me is about 50-60 a 12' sheet. Then you still have to work outside the working hours because you have to do estimates, paperwork, bills, etc. Then what about benefits does he provide boots, prescription safety glasses, gloves, 401k, medical and dental, tools, more than one week vacation, sick pay?

Chasingmoney, chasing materials and you can never find help and if you do they know nothing and want $30 an hour.

    Hell no, look in your local area for companies that are hiring lvl 1 apprentices and apply with a real good cover letter. Do the classic “let me work for you for 2 weeks for free” pitch and I guarantee you’ll have at least 1 taker. (No one’s going to pass up free workers although this may not work at a larger bureaucratic company). Hope u make a good impression and as soon as they hire you, book your lvl1 of schooling which will be significantly less that 21k. The whole point in my opinion of an apprenticeship instead of some degree is to dodge spending stupid money on schooling.

    HVAC is cool and all but don't forget, during the mild days your barely makin it with 20-30 hrs per week. Sometimes you can make it all back with the crazy overtime when its extremely hot or cold & the on calls. Going to the technician side be prepared, you are a salesman first and foremost, if you can't sell they'll just let you go which breeds unethical practices unless your in a very good company(those are few and far between and yes they're taken and they are not going anywhere). I can say that is the same for being an auto mechanic, electrician, etc. Carpentry is cool but man they are unstable during these times of high interest rates. I can see there just isn't any appeal to join along with an almost impossible way to get in any trade unless you have experience and yet they complain of a shortage of tradesman. The irony....
