Sorry more adult content coming soon

I wanted to give plumbing a shot. I got accepted for the NYC Local 1 plumber Union, but im on the wait list for classes and I didnt make the first class cause my number is pretty high. Its already been over a year and it sucks waiting. I am #330.

Yeah it's very competitive. That's why I tell a lot of people. If you got into the union. Consider yourself lucky. I know on the east coast west coast it's quite the challenge so it's worth getting on the list and take the job when you can get it

Great video

Hi. I apprenticed woth my uncle a retired union plumber. Fell in love with the trade. Went to apply for every job I could apprentice for. All said the same thing. I dont have enough experience. Got into HVAC and got a job right away. I genuinely dont understand whats going on with plumbing companies these days, but its absolutely absurd.

That's really a bummer to hear. I know that HVAC or fitters have a lot more pm work so I'm glad you got in for that. I'm sure it's still fun. But yes plumbing work or contractors better start prepping new people or we are fucked! Thanks for sharing this

Hmmm yours might fall under the hairy cracks and toes;) send a link I'll share with the tribe! Hahahaha

How was the culture during your apprenticeship? I heard for construction plumbing the culture is toxic. You get talked down on a lot and there’s bunch of immature toxic masculinity in many states.

You know there is a, hazing process and you will get razzed. Now to what extent...if you suck ...probably a lot. If you care and actually want to make it...less. us depends on how old school these guys are. If they aren't making fun of you that also means they probably don't like you. So, it's not your office type vibe. But there are boundaries and yes...it's fun! Hard at times. But that's the industry.
