Does that entail schooling?

Most deal with a four year apprenticeship, you'll work and be paid during the day and you'll be doing schooling in the afternoons. Not all state require licensing.

All trades require you to go thru apprenticeship, you just need to figure out which trades you would enjoy doing. Be honest with yourself. Most trades are manual labor and just manual labor. So you need to find something that you enjoy doing.

I'm Electrician and I hate what I do. But I got into it back in 2008 when I needed a job and it was any job. I work commercial / Industrial and all summer I dig holes (underground, ) then once the pads are formed and walls go up I just pipe, once that's all done I pull wire. You also install SES's, transformers, and the like. But it's manual labor, back breaking labor.

Working in the trades is work, it's not for everyone. Electricians get paid more than most trades. But within the Electrical field you need to figure out what you want to do. Commercial and Industrial, Residential, or Lineworker. Lineworkers get paid most, but they're also all Union workers so dues might offset higher pay in some states. Residential is just crazy, and pay can be great if you're good. Roping a house isn't hard when you figure out the basics. Commercial and Industrial is were all the dipshits work, and it's why I hate it. I work for a smaller company but I work in multiple states. So I get the wonderful pleasure of meeting countless niggers and spics that think they know better.

With any trade, learn it! You can go far, if you master your trade. The old fucks know more than you'll ever know. Some did the trade before power tools! Just imagine going any of the trades before power tools and what you had to nigger rig just to get things done. LEARN FROM THEM if you do go into the trades.

I stated at 15 an hour, and I now run jobs and have certs that allow me to make over 150k a year.

Thank you for the advice! I'm really hoping to do some free labor while still working then once I make the leap go to an apprenticeship, I don't need much money but I can't afford to be in school for years. I don't mind manual labor, I worked on a farm for a while I mostly meant I prefer if there's skill so that I'm not competing with a bunch of spics for minimum wage. Do you think residential electric would be any less bad?
