I think young men should give this a try. Even if they don’t want you, give it a shot try hard think and be safe. You can make a living. You have value as well!

Great advice I’m in my first year of electro Mechanical technology and I got my college, tools, and any training I want from my company paid for as well as I’m making 27 an hour and I honestly love what I do every day. If you are fascinated with how electrical and mechanical things work than this field is amazing.
