/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1614437
I’m not arguing union or non union or saying the other trades don’t work.

I’ve never seen any other trade having to bust ass, break their backs, or literally run like ironworking requires. Working smarter, not harder.

And I haven’t gotten a solid 40 hour work week in almost a month. Like today, pushed to do 8 hours of work in 6, then off early. Early fridays every Friday.
I mean, the OT pay is good, but not at the cost of chronic back pain at 24.

I probably will get into another trade, but in the meantime I think I’m going to take the boat mechanic job closer to me, as I will learn more than just punking iron for a trade I don’t want to do as a career anyway.
