Y'all act like these skills are easy to learn

I googled being a plumber and it take like 5 years to get on...and that's a full time career...u have to be dedicated

I want it now....I put in the work...Im ready

Breh you googled. You didn't even ask an actual person, you didn't even inquire, you didn't even search for that type of job online

It takes 5 years to be a Journeyman experienced Plumber, not to just be a Plumber. As a trainee, you'll be making about $13-14 an hour. Same for all the other trades. In a year, your salary would be about 45k. A cable TV installer first year about 50k to 55k. So that money to stack ain't better than what you making/suffering with now?

I'm not saying doing a trade as a "Plan B", I'm saying do it as an "intermission" as you reach your goal. Let me put in in laymans terms. You see some Rappers who sold coke before they became a rap star. Was their main objective to be a coke dealer all their life? No, it was to get out the hood and make something of themselves. That coke money paid for their studio time, that money paid for the DJ to spin their record, that money bought them a car to meet tour dates, etc etc

Life ain't no Disney movie. You not gonna be walking down the street feeling depressed, holding up your art work, and them some agent is gonna come up to you like, "Oh my god, you're going to hollywood :gladbron:". Success isn't about the fast lane, it's slow and methodical, deal with it

Judging by your post, is there any possibility that Buffalo might be the next boom town?

I don't mind the cold, long winters. However, I have heard that Buffalo can be really, really racist...

But dat cheap rent tho...

Have no idea Plumbers make 6 figures brehs
Yea, I had no idea.

Had a plumber come fix a shower in my parents house, he saw the work I had already did like :ehh: and told me that I should look into plumbing, that I could make 6 figures easy.

But nah, that ain't for me.

That's what I keep telling people

It's great to go to low cost of living undesirable places. You can build a career and stack up loads of money. Rent is cheap as hell, and you can even start a business and be part of a resurgence in the city

But whatever, alot of people don't want to live out of their comfort zone :yeshrug:

People told me the same damn thing. Go to community college and learn a trade. Applied 3 years in a row for basic ass entry level brick laying, plumbing and electrician courses. God said nah that ain't for you. Wouldn't even let me in community college :dead:
