    Peeps! Just a heads up, the music on this video is was edited really loud. So if you have a hard time hearing my words, turn on captions so that you can make out what I am saying. Thank you to everyone that let me know. Cheers!

    I’ve been watching your videos Kenny and im stumbled across this one. Your videos have encouraged me so much. Im 33 years old and have been lost on what to do for quite some time. Doing Janitor work right now but I want something more meaningful. Plumbing looks interesting to me and I want to pull the trigger. Im also in a position where I feel responsible for loved ones and want to step forward in life and make good money while doing something I like.

    • @Kennymolotov

      I’m really happy the videos have been useful for you Gerson. I know exactly how you feel about responsibility knocking on the door. It’s honourable that you’re looking for a better career for yourself and for your loved ones…it’s the right head space to be in, and I’m rooting for you. Please let me know what you decide and how your progress is going. Best of luck friend 🙏🤟✌️

As I’ve seen in the comments you are connecting to so many others that are in a really rough situation with providing for a family and being a responsible adult. Truly grateful brother. I just had my interview today it went great and I’m looking at videos to help with forking questions. Stay safe and prosperous fam.

    Hey Kenny! Great vid. I decided to get into Plumbing for mostly the same reasons as you! I am still looking to secure an apprenticeship BUT I am now working full time with a local plumber (labouring) and I love it. Sometimes I wish I had pursued it earlier, but I think the time I made the decision to do it was just the right time for me, otherwise I may not have stuck with it when I was younger. Keep up the great work! (I check everyday to see if you have uploaded anything new!)

    • @Kennymolotov
      @Kennymolotov  7 лет назад +2

      +PlumbLife hey josh, I've been seeing a lot of pipes in your Instagram feed, looks like you're having a blast learning the trade! It's interesting how learning a skilled trade has pulled people out of tough times. It shows that there is real value to it in this world. I hear you about timing, I don't think I would have stuck with it either if I was younger...keep up the great work brother!

    Thank you for sharing this information because I have just heard horror stories like you will work long hours where you will not have time to see family, there is not really any days off and just you will hate the job. Its good to hear someone like yourself sharing these things because I can really relate because I was a musician and now i am with someone I want to be with and I know music will not pay for anything, plumbing will. I have been reallllly stressed about it and i can say now your video took a huge weight of my heart and I thank you so much.

    • @Kennymolotov
      @Kennymolotov  6 лет назад

      Hey Alibiakos, thanks for reaching out. I’m glad the video was something you needed to hear. Plumbing definitely does have some late nights to it, that’s the way the work goes sometimes. But like anything it has its ups and downs, and it’s nothing you need to be stressed about. Like any other jobs, try it out, if you like it, stick with it, if you do nt you move on. Best of luck deciding and let me know what your decision is! Cheers!

    Actual that sounds a lot like me right about now. Pluming was not what I had planed for my futer but I am currently toying with the idea of going in to for the same reason you did, financial stability. Also I wouldn't be the first person in my family to go in to Pluming either. 2 of my great uncles started a pluming and heating business here in my town I think back in the 40s and I still have a cousin who works there but I'm not sure. Oh also, not to change subjects but the music in this video made it hard to understand what you were saying. I think you had it a bit to loud.

    • @Kennymolotov
      @Kennymolotov  7 лет назад +1

      Hey WaterRat, thanks for reaching out. I’ve met a couple of people on this channel that changed to Plumbing for a stable job. It helps a lot to have family in it as well. I think you should definitely try it out if you can (if your uncles have spots) my grandfather used to say, the knowledge will never hurt you, it can only help. The older I get the more that makes sense to me. Thanks for joining the channel. Let me know what you decide!

    • @TheBiohazardKick
      @TheBiohazardKick 7 лет назад

      Sadly both of my great uncles have seance passed and I'm not sure who's running it now, I also have a few other jogs I was thinking about as well. Haven't decided yet, but then I'm still working on getting my GED so there's some time to figure it out. But hey, your videos will at least give me some idea as to what I'd be getting myself in to if I did go the pluming rought so that'll help. :)

    • @TheNimshew
      @TheNimshew 7 лет назад

      Note to WaterRat... proof read. Plumbing contains a 'b'. Since, not seance. Future not futer.Jobs, not jogs.

      @ngewngew6818 3 года назад

      I would choose Fire Fighter Job over Plumbing Job..... I'm a plumbing apprentice / Worker and as times go by I don't enjoy the job especialy basement renovations where you have to cut dirty 4 inch used pipes with brownish stuffs inside. It's just that I don't feel doing plumbing anymore. I want to be a tattoo artists in the future thats my dream job. So I'll just give plumbing a little time before I quit the job.

    I find myself a lot in your story. I am a 29 y.o. 3d artistic guy with no working experience in companies. I m antisocial person,introverted a bit. All im doing in past 5 year is visual arts,3d,before that about 5 years in producing electronic music. I started realising if I continue with the art in 20 years I will probably pick trash to find something to eat. My cousin runs small plumbing company and trying to get me in, so im thinking to become a plumber too. The only problem is that I didnt get used to hard labor such as plumbing, so im thinking is that job for me....

    • @Kennymolotov
      @Kennymolotov  6 лет назад

      Wow, it so crazy how close our stories are. And there are a few other people on this channel that have the same experience. I say keep doing all those things on the side, keep your creative juices flowing because you never know what can happen with them. But in the meantime definitely try Plumbing and see if it’s something you enjoy. It will help to put money on the table, and even help fuel your creative side financially. Let me know what you decide!
