Finish carpentry is the most gratifying. Also for artists. You have to get everything incredibly precise, which will take years of practice. But when you finish a house or a mantle or trim, and it looks beautiful, you get to look at it and be forever proud in what you created.
What about with welding
Until it’s destroyed
By landscaping I don’t mean moving dirt around but designing amazing backyards and things that people are proud of. I want my name and company to be the company that makes dreams happen
I have been an Electrician for 41 years and keep going to work because I love the trade :-)
I am of course biased, but it is a great trade for all of the reasons that you listed, high demand, great pay, future job security protected by licence, but the really big win for me is that there are many many directions that you can go once you have your electrical ticket, as nearly every aspect of how we live today is automated which needs somebody to install and maintain it.
EG. I have 4 sub-trades (for want of a better definition) from my initial Electrical trade, being HVAC tech, Data tech, Fire tech, TV tech...all certifications that I have achieved when I want a change of direction in my working life.
Hi I hope your doing great! I am a high school student doing a project about careers I would like to interview a couple people who work in trades. Are you interested?
Also a sparks… one thing I noticed… he said clean… I don’t think he’s ever had to go in a bungalow loft whilst rewiring buried in insulation or chased walls or even as I’ve done in the past drill into a pipe and get absolutely soaked 🤦♂️😂
@@plixrgaming5886 I'm not an electrician but I've pulled wire and crawled in crawlspaces and attics full of bat& mouse poop, seen dead animal carcasses, and breathed in mold in several instances. You have to be OK with all that in plumbing, electrical, or hvac as each trade has to trace problems and make repairs at their source...
@@the_truck_farmer that’s exactly my point 😂 no matter what trade you get into you’re never going to be “clean” 😂
I’ve had numerous plumbers at our house never needed a electrician
Something to keep in mind as well is how rapidly the trade evolves. I'm a certified diesel tech for Ford and I probably don't need to mention how much has changed in the last twenty years. Training needs to be updated quite frequently.
Oh, that, and tools. That's also a big consideration.
I was a ford mechanic for 16 years,got out of it 2 years for the same reasons you just mentioned, now I'm looking for something else to do for a long term career.
@@randycrume6340 what did u find randy?
@@randycrume6340any update
I see what you did there Jeff. "If you are artistic, painting drywall is a good mix for you. ". While looking at your mud lol
Its great how you keep it real, short and to the point!!!
Just wanted to say how awesome this channel is. Thanks for all the help with DIY projects
I like the idea of carpentry the best, even though my experience there is limited to fake walls (stage work). I'm scared of electricity. Sure, you can waste lumber, or accidentally flood someone's house and be knee deep of crap's creek, but "oops accidentally touched the hot wire now I'm dead" is a little too risky for me, haha.
Or accidentally cause a fire of the sorts due to bad wiring
If you bad wired. You learnt from a cow boy. Or don't give a c rap
😅😅⚡️😮 ⚰️ 😢
Totally agree with being an electrician or electronics. I was a millwright for years with the pandemic I lost my job but currently looking for a local electrician to work under.
Installing Carpet. Just beutiful working indoors,specifically when its raining.👍👋
This is some really great advice. I was a critical care dietitian (TPN and tube feeds for patients on ventilators) for 7 years. The medical field burned me out and I ended up hating what I did. I ended up as my wife and Is "general contractor" during our reno. I learned how to do electrical, plumbing, drywall work, tiling, flooring, masonry, and carpentry. Hands down, my favorite work has been the electrical and carpentry work. After thinking about it, I think you are right about the number crunching having something to do with it!
Thank you for your help with learning to do most of the things listed up there, Jeff!
A growing industry for the broken solar techs/installer, diagnosis and service.
I finally got into a trade as a millwright apprentice (38 years young). Amazing! We do a little bit of everything, couldn’t be happier!
I also have friends that are bricklayers. If you’ve got grit and don’t mind slugging it’s a license to print money right now!
I appreciate your videos I love to learn more of every aspect of construction!
I am retired. I went to trade school to drive big rigs. Drove a bus for a while then got into a white collar profession. After retirement, I like DIY projects but electrical is my favourite except low receptacles (bad knees). I also enjoy carpentry. Do not like plumbing but have considered taking a basic course for my own piece of mind. Stay safe.
Man, you're awesome. Love hearing you chat about topics! I don't plan on changing jobs any time soon and I still enjoyed it! 😂
Thank you! Needed to see this.
I remember facing this choice many many years ago now. Do I take a trade and if so what trade? I enjoyed working in construction from a young age, whether it was working on a big site or doing a small job in someone's home but I couldn't decide what trade I liked the most. I felt limited so I decided to do basic construction and try to learn as much as I could about all the trades rather than specialise in just one. So I spent the next 30 years learning and doing, the only one I didn't enjoy was lighting work. But like Jeff says, do what makes you happy...
I went to school for Engineering, but at times when I'm making videos for my channel I wish I went to school for a trade. Great video man.
Agree with you 100%!...Enjoy watching your video's too...
Thanks for this, thinking of becoming an electrician but wanted to know how the other trades measure up. Good stuff
I love your videos and especially the advice. This video helped me focus on the things I enjoy doing. "Lovin it"
Thanks for the advice.
I learned pvc work growing up with family.
Learned to use a snake to remove roots from the toilet after paying the plumber 3 times I bought my own. Dug a hole to replace the broken pipes under ground found found a sink hole in my yard. Also found concrete pipe which is my sewer line. Unsure how to merge pvc with concrete and I think I have to get a permanent the 2 holes took me 1 hour a piece. I'm stumped family is clueless I'm paying a plumber to deal with the city and the digging machine. 😅😭
This was some of the best advice I ever received thanks really ✊🏾👍🏾💯
From 4:26 Is where the gold is. Thanks Jeff for great advice!!
Come on man, give some love to us in HVAC. I'm in new construction mostly and I've learned plumbing, electrical, framing, and of course hvac all through the trade. And I'm only 23
I agree, electrician would be it in hindsight. But they are the most diva of the trades imo.
I’m an electrician and can verify this statement.
It take a while to be a journeyman in electrician 4 years. That’s when you start seeing real pay
Right
Excellent, honest answer!!!
I am a 64 year female. I have been doing all my home improvement. But as you say I can do basic electrical but I cant do a panel box or run run wires from a box. So I agree If I could have an electrician would have been the way to go. 2 plugs was 200.00
I'm a controls guy. It was a trial by fire in the beginning.
I actually get a lot of value out of your videos.. thanks for making quality videos
Glad you like them!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Boss what part of canada you from ?
@@amoldhillon1445 Ottawa Ontario
Enjoy what you doing is the right answer👍
I work at an auto factory and im waiting until they get their apprenticeship program rolling. Still gotta decide which trade i want but thats a good avenue for people wanting to get into certain trades. Electricians, millwrights, toolmakers, etc.
Was an industrial electrician for 10 years, then became a long-haul trucker. Now I’m retired. I still hire an electrician to do certain jobs cause I’m no longer licensed and like you said, the codes are always being updated.
I think the biggest question that doesn't get talked about in the trades enough is Health, my uncles ,my dad etc are busted up,so ask yourself are you willing to be possibly a crippled mess by 50?Look not all trades people end up messed up but the majority do at least in my experience. So to all 20 somethings who are thinking about it ,have a back up plan just in case you can't work anymore.
What the hell would my backup plan be? I failed at college and I don’t plan on returning, you’re telling me that I’ll still be screwed eventually despite getting into the lucrative skilled trades?
I swear, there’s always a price to pay.
Awesome video! I learned alot! Anyways I choose either Electrician and/or Welding. But 'coming in' at number one: Plumbing: Who doesn't like to fix the pipes and drainage lines of that hopeless, helpless poor woman who's husband has recently passed, and is now broke and had to sell all his tools to help pay the mortgage? It's such a rewarding feeling to help those who are unable to help themselves.
Jeff: As a Mechanical Contractor - the best and hardest techs to find are Refrigeration techs. Can't buy anything for an A/C unit at Home Depot or Lowes - no DIY when it comes to refrigeration. Mostly in Commercial applications - and not a big part of home renovation. But, if you can handle the math - it's the only protected trade (in Manitoba). High demand, sometimes ugly working conditions but, virtually unlimited earning potential. Too bad I'm near the end of my working days and just run the office now.
Good advice. I have always heard it said, DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND ENJOY. IF YOU DON'T ENJOY WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO MAKE MONEY THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT WHERE YOU BELONG.
Like you said, being able to look back at things that you helped to build is a very rewarding. Can you imagine how those men and women felt over the years of the expansion of North America and Canada, watching society being built-up by their own hands?
But now how do you know what you enjoy without trying these jobs it’s :-|
Ces conseils sont très sages et utiles.
You’re the Bob Ross of renovations and I love it
If you like being outside but don't like being on roofs, siding is also very in high demand! Many pros and cons to choosing a path which involves more outside than inside work, but that's also something to consider with paint and drywall for example. If you need the fresh air and the sun, something like concrete, or siding are worth considering!
I'm a little confused about this. If I were wanting to know about this career, how would I look it up? Would I google something like "siding professional"? lol
I've been roofing for 19 years. Steady work. Back breaking but whilst roofing all them years I learned other trades .
I liked this video! I’m an electrician but Want to learn how to drywall repair and frame. I really wanted to get into landscaping. Funny part is I’m also a licensed plumber
Forgot hvac. Then you get to do plumbing and electrical at the same time
Hvac service.. money in the desert states...
@@adamlewellen5081 I'm in Michigan, plenty of money here
@@bazzani21 im an hvac tech its very basic plumbing and electrical, when i do a renovation i hire an electrician and i wing the rough plumbing its takes me 3-4 times as long as it would a plumber
@@Cfish613 all depends on what you do. Boilers require tons of plumbing. And tons of control wiring.
@@bazzani21 in most areas boilers are a plumbing thing,
But even so we do a lot of thermostat wiring (low voltage) it's very different than high voltage
Hi thanks for this video
Whichever you like and enjoy doing.
#1 rule of EVERY profession, is that the best way to be successful, is to care about what you are doing enough, to continuously educate yourself over your 40+ year career.
Whatever you do, if you are always doing your research about how to make it better, what are the new trends, new products, new best practices, then eventually your customers will notice it, realize you provide better quality than others, and wait in line to get an appointment with you.
Also you need to show up on the jobsite with the intention to do a GOOD job, and not just good enough to get paid...
Yes, it is easy to do barely good enough job, and still get paid. And putting effort to be better doesn’t pay off immediately, it takes several years to establish. But once the rumors take off that you are actually good, it will pay off.
But it can only be done if you enjoy your profession. Software development pays really well with low risk, but if you hate sitting in front of a computer all day, you will give up before you become experienced...
I went from being a carpenter to electrician to welder.. Being in the trade is nice cause you can switch job easily after just training for like 3 to 5 months.
You didint have to go to college
@@AlexanderRodriguez-vs3xk I actually graduated college.
Don't keep it only in the construction trades, I've been a Millwright for 35 years and have made a very good living. There is also Instrumentation, Analyzer, HVAC, welder
Im thinking on wood and stone
Great video. Must see
There was a welding program at my highschool. It felt like the first glimpse of hope for a life that my restless, more athletic self could do well at.
I didn’t do it. I was busy, it was an hour’s drive away, I am female and I’d be alone. All reasonable concerns, but years later and having dropped out of uni, I can only wonder what opportunity could’ve happened.
Great video as I watch you doing the mud I wonder: any Drywall mud banjo recommendation?
Interesting. My son is 17, finished up grade 12 late April and because he had done a construction co-op thru school and had some connections, he’s landed himself a full time job as a first year HVAC apprentice working at a new apartment build. I think there are a lot of great opportunities out there for the young kids interested in working in the trades.
What’s HVAC ?

Probably a dumb question but I’ve watched just about every video you have on installing tile and waterproofing a shower. I have a bathroom with a cast iron tub (just the tub no shower. it’s attached to the wall not free standing) would I be able to get away with applying a roll on waterproof membrane over the plaster, then tiling? Or should I install cement board, roll on membrane, then tile?
100% agree.
I started off with paint and drywall and I started doing other things now i can do almost every trade
so paint and dry is a great place to start in my opinion now i am the the most famous somali speaking home improvement youtuber

I'm 33 years old, got into Automotive in my early 20's. I've been through the grinder and just finally got my license 2 years ago before being laid off last year. I'm currently unemployed and don't know if I want to get back into Automotive. I have a real passion for carpentry (finish, cabinetry making) and general renovation work (electrical, drywalling). Don't know where to go, what to do or if I'm too old to learn something new.
Don’t let age stop you man, this other youtuber I watch started HVAC at 35 and now I see him around my city with multiple vans
I am an elevator mechanic. It's a great combination of electrical and mechanical. Unfortunately there are no side jobs unless you're on your own.

I'm 25 and don't know any trades for home improvement/renovation, but I would love to learn them and work a real job
How did it go?
@cristianaraujo9293 Still no house trade, but when I made that comment, I worked in a quick lube shop. It was a dead-end job. The only way to move up was to become a manager, which I would never want to do. It was fast food for cars and I hated it. But a few months ago, I started working at a dealership where the focus is on learning everything in the trade.
But still, it would be really nice to know house trades
Being in California, I've always wanted to be a Caltrans or PG&E worker. All those guys ever do is stand around and make good money/full benefits doing it!

Crazy question. How can I make a water resistant laminate flooring to be waterproof? Does polyurethane really work?
I'm an engineer, but if I took up a trade I'd try to be a linesman. Electrician would be good too.
I like electrical, and the finish work to make it look clean, got to know wiring, basic building, drywall, stucco, paint, to be a good resi electrician you need almost a general level of knowledge...
Sh!!!t, I am a raised musician. When real life kicked in, I became a handyman. My clients are old folks and divorced women. All I do I learned from watching my dad fix stuff around the house.
Don't let go of your dreams, no one wants to be the person on their death bed regretting their life choices, or how they lived their life. Work is a major part of our life, and you don't want to be wake to go do something you just fucking hate, or be mediocre, knowing you can be *great* . If you still have aspirations to be a musician, *BE A MUSICIAN* . If you don't know how, *FIND A WAY*. If you can't make a living off of it, *DO IT IN YOUR FREETIME UNTIL IT PICKS UP* . I encourage every single one, to not just follow, but Work towards their dreams regardless of whatever the fuck Anyone says. If your mom, father, brother, sister, or anyone gives you shit because they disapprove of your life choices, who gives a fuck. Its not their life, it's *YOURS* . Live life however makes you HAPPIEST. Best wishes 🤜🤛
Work at it! Be the musician!
Seems people want you to be a musician.
I hope you're still practicing and playing with others.
That's me! Granted I've been through a few other careers, including tech r and d, sales and hospitality. When my last corporate gig ended, my side gig customers had me working full time the next day so I said screw it and didn't look for another job.
Musicianing was a latent hobby for me for a long time but I got into a band 7 years ago. We do the occasional road trip and working for myself allows a lot of freedom.
I do HVAC
I worked in construction for 34 years, the first 18 was in drywall hanging rock and finishing, mostly in commercial. Then i was a project manager for 8 years then construction manager for 4 years and finally owned my own business for 8 years until my lower back got so bad i had to be put on disability. I loved getting things done and being able to help others, I've got so much stuff i don't know if I'll ever be able to get rid of it all

Have expecting the quote "If they don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy". That one is for the Canadian's that get that reference.
I should have been an electrician. went to vocational school back in the seventies my best friend went into the plumbing trade now a master plumber I went into electronics they were teaching me how to be a TV repairman I did not want to be a TV repairman. So I joined the rock and roll band. Now I'm a sound engineer with no gig thanks covid.
How good are you a mixing and mastering ?
So as a drywall guy, do you use the newest tools available for drywalling? I've seen some pretty cool mudding and taping tools that make the job seem like a walk in the park
can't stand them. they are not bedding the tape well and it just peels off so easy even after paint.
7 years in a white collar job, single, undergrad. Pay is fine for a single dude with no responsibilities, got good benefits and physically not as demanding as blue collar work. However, it's soul killing. I've seen people die working their lives in a cubicle, I don't want or see myself growing old in this kind of life.
I'm not a handy man but my father was (I wished I spent more time with him when he was working).
I'm looking into risking it all and go into trades, I have nothing to lose but to which one. I don't understand electricity and wirings, have no idea about tools lol however I am good at following and understanding manuals.
Which trade is easy to start with? Or is it too late and just continue in what I do and sit in an office?
I'm just a common street caulker looking for my big break in blacktop. :-)
Electrician is the cleanest?
They crawl around in 140 degree attics and mouse infested crawl spaces. No thanks lol
Get a trade. Get good at it. Then go get a job like being a firefighter. Then do side jobs. Make bank for a decade and retire young.
Thats why you go into commercial on industrial electrical.
Hey jeff, this morning i did something dumb with a blade and it went right in my pinky, tried the electrical tape trick, it works great usually but this time to much liquid and it did not stick, any advice for next time?

But you must be making bank now tho?!
This is an unrelated question to the video, but what are the risks to report or do you report kitchen or interior non-structural changes of your home to the City Hall? I just had a call with an agent because I couldn't find any related permit for the job on the official website, but the agent told me in a weird tone: "eehh.. normally there isn't a permit, but make your request online tho to approve and analyze your renovation".... makes me wonder I'd pay for something that I may not need to pay, however I believe that they will rate my house value for more going from HDF to Solid Wood, but it may increase my taxes too. I am really new as a home owner. I would take your non-legal opinions in consideration for sure. Thank you.
Start as a handyman and then go from there.
I really dont want to do this but I'm thinking of just getting a cdl like my dad trucking brings in money and my dad has made 75k a year for the past 5 years compared to the 24k he was making while in a car part factory I just want financial stability when I finally go to work even though I'm only 16
If you don’t want to than why do it, plenty of other trade jobs you can make that money pick the one that interest you most, the highest paid trades are Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, and Elevator Mechanics, find something that gets your interest, best of luck

Go the Union Trade route, Electrician or Plumbers. Your school is paid for. You make decent wages with good benefits. Commercial work is far better than residential.

Drywall Fixing all the way 💪😃
I wish I could do what you do. But I'm bad at math, and measuring .
Those are two things you can work on, there’s lot of videos that will teach you the math you need to know for any trade, as long as your willing to put in the work you can do it as long as that’s what you want to do
Just look for a tutor, that's what I did and now I'm getting better at math and measuring.

I'm not an expert just trying to get some ideas flowing.
Think about when we all drive electric cars and every single home, apartment complex, workplace, etc. in the world will need to be wired for charging stations....and solar panels. We will not have enough electricians in 5-10 years no matter what.

Hvac is the best
If you want to work on industrial sites like power generation, oil and gas, pulp and paper, mills, etc, take up welding. There's a bunch of complimentary trades that having your welding ticket will allow you to work towards later while making good money. Boilermaking, pipefitting, ironworking or steel fabricating all become much more approachable and lucrative with a welding ticket in your back pocket!
wait I thought you do the inside corners first so you don't overlap the tape...
High demand where? I'm in Canada right now and Alberta is dead for hiring electricians. Currently a carpenter.
Same in Manitoba. Colleges just keep pumping out apprentices.
@@darrenwoloshyn NAIT just announced today that they are now providing some pre apprentice technology programs for auto mechanic, electrical, plumbing to provide people with experience to get a starting job. All the comments cracked me up because people were saying how they could not find work with their 10 years experience. I mean, they should probably try to adapt into another trade but it's tough these days to let go of your career to start another with less pay. The government always claim we in a shortage of blue collar but I think we quite the opposite. My neighbor took double the time to finish his 4th year electrical because the companies kept running out of work. He got lucky and got onto the public school board and their union.
