Hey bud I get what you mean and the trades are really good money but you also have to sacrifice many hours of work and sometime working out of town at a drop of a hat believe me coming from a tradesman it’s very taxing on the body and mentally and be exhausting what do you do is good and you impact kids lives depending on if your a good teacher or not assuming you are

[@masonm159]

@@cacacaca2632 of course pros and cons to everything, but I'm talking about it in purely financial terms. Those 5 years in college/grad school KEY years for retirement/future planning (your $ saved will double by age 55 if you start saving at 20 years old vs 25 yrs),... Not to mention the few hundred thousand dollar financial burden you get in place of it for the cost of education.
So I guess for many trades the question is "are the physical demands/taxing worth it for more pay AND no college debt"... I think I know my answer haha.
Education is supposed to be an "investment" both in time & money, so the return needs to be worth it. Our current college system has many misplaced priorities, and the result is many "average" people that get a degree but either aren't able to use it, just don't use it to work better paying jobs then their field, or are able to use it for a limited return on their tuition investment.
Basically, I suggest that no teen seeks a college education unless they are absolutely sure of their career goals/requirements, and NEVER because "they thought college was what they were supposed to do because every adult says that".

Because what companies pay non union people isn’t always accurate. There’s also nothing stopping them from paying him 35 or 125 an hour. It’s what they feel he’s worth.

The world is unfair unfortunately

[@Antonio-ti2he]

But if he hurts someone he goes to jail for a very very long time.

[@sexatica]

@@Antonio-ti2he depends on the situation, crane operators don't just operate them alone, they need signalmen/dogman and follow instructions

[@imathreat209]

Probably doesn't work while it rains or bad weather. So 80/hr is probably really 50 averaged out

[@smoothie33]

[@Rafa-707]

Good money when you have steady work

[@Jackknife-TV]

Psh I've operated knuckle boom cranes, overhead cranes, grapple cranes and a heve tried countless times to get into the operating engineers union. 🤷
Other than that anywhere I apply or even just try to get my foot in the door want an NCCCO certificate I've basically given up.

[@chrisbrown465]

Do you start by getting your nccco license first ?

[@MrSmooth1721]

Cdl A first I think

[@dannybarton794]

No one want to tslk about the high risk for this pay. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@robertbeckham3091]

How long is the average crane operators shift ? I can’t imagine their at a job site 8-10 hours every day

[@richarddunleavy3011]

I work with crane operators all the time and they're usually there as long as we are which is anywhere from 8-12 hours. They make more than most of us on the site and just sit there and wait until we need them to lift something. If I could do it all over again I probably would've went through an operating engineer apprenticeship 🤷‍♂️ 😆

[@terlinguaDrift]

Dude said he’s not framing anymore Ima sit right here and give you the trusses

[@kflashcarr1992]

Hopefully I'll be a crane operator one day.

[@roberthunter8573]
