I'd love to do a trade and looked into it for carpentry, but I'm old enough and have enough "responsibilities" at this point that taking a couple years to apprentice before I can make more money isn't a position I can be in.

It would have been great when I was 18, of course. But its too late now unless someone can pay me to take time off and go through those programs. Same for welding etc.

I went through trade school for electrical work a few years ago and post-covid I'm hoping to get back on Journeyman path so I'm starting to look for apprenticeships

my job right out of school was in industrial maintenance so I was working alot with 3-phase powered electrical motors but it wasn't an apprentice program so all I have are my school hours so far

I lost that job a while ago so my work record is laughable, unfortunately but such is life for those of us with sadbrains


the problem I have is I live in TN so a)lol minimum wage for skilled labor for my next 3 years and b)making sure any apprenticeship I get is legit and I actually get the credit I need for a J card

I don't think so, I have 2000/8000 hours completed from school plus the vast majority of the required classwork and the required OSHA certs too but I need another 6000 hours of actually working in an officially recognized apprenticeship, at least that's my memory of the NCCER reqs

I wouldn't have been able to take those classes if I had kids or a mortgage or anything like that, you can take night classes but even that's difficult if you have family responsibilities or you need to be working a second job to keep a roof over your head

Yah, I've been slowly moving towards small scale farming, at least for my immediate food needs, and possibly transitioning to it as a living. Its more accessible without being dependent on businesses to hire you.
