I'm 33, live in croydon. I'm an architect (7 years uni). I make 34k. I draw up the plans that electricans work from and I get permission for new drainage runs and connections that the plumbers use to build from. The trades all make at least 15% more than me miniumum, all get paid for overtime, all work for themselves by their mid 20s, have 0 student dept. Even at my age, if I retrain now within a trade, I'll be better off financially by the time I retire than if I carry on what I am doing. If I was 18 again I wouldn't have touched uni with a stick. Why did I go? Because my school told me not to do a trade if I wanted to be successful. Why architecture? Becuase the media was ramming down everyones throats that there's a housing shortage so I thought I'd be in high demand. If someone would give me an apprenticeship for plumbing or electrics I'd start tomorrow.

@MilesBorg_ same story here! I should have been carpenter or joined the armed forces. Uni is a money trap to create debt slaves to the government for 90% of people.
Could you start your own business? The one thing I've learned about business is that whatever someone is paying you they are receiving almost 3 times as much if not more. I know some people who have retrained as trades people. Even without signing off work or being fully qualified they are earning good money on the side whilst still learning their trade. If you know how to source, win, and deliver a contract in any field your winning!
I make about £175k but i have 3 degrees and 2 masters cost me £90k . I work in private equity. Dad is electrician and makes about £250k a year running his electrical business. He loves hos job
Remember most tradesmen won't be working past 50/60. No holiday pay, no sick pay, van to pay for, tools, resitting exams every 5 years if gas safe . if they go over 85k they've gotta pay 20%vat. Hard on the body, long hours. 20years in trades so i know the craic. That being said it is still good money but not as much as you might think after all expenses taken out and theres no off days as you get paid for the work you produce so if you have a day when you can't really be arsed then you make less.
Man that's crazy when I was in school 10 years ago they told us don't be a plumber go to Uni. Studied, got the office job and still hate that shit! Should have done carpentry or something
I'm 100k in debt thanks to uni in London lmao, that shit is never gunna be cleared, probably after the 30 year rule, did I learn anything in uni? No. Does it apply to my job? No. Was it worth it? Definitely not! Would I recommend someone to go uni? Hell No!
Im a plumber gas engineer and electrician and multi trade construction etc on god I tell you is not easy! Easier said than done finding a client base regular work will make ur hairs turn grey and make u half mental is not easy it’s madness! Especially in London everyone is trying to scam you it’s not as advanced as countries like Canada and Australia Where are you going to get the work from ask yourselves?

They can be well paid if they are at the top of their game. My opinion though, they better be saving for retirement early though because you will not want to be doing manual labor much after mid 40s
@@rockstarjoe5725 true, but by that point it will be taking a toll on your body is all in saying. I'm mid 40s and at this point I'm glad I can code and not stuck doing a trade.
100%, but if you're still relying on manual labour for your wage in your 40s and 50s you *really* have dropped the ball. In the trades you need to always have your eye on the next certification and should be looking at moving into management/ coordination/ consulting/ business admin/ contracts management/ surveying as you age. I know joiners in their 50s who are fitter than most 25 year olds but you don't want to be grinding your body down at that age. Electrical/ plumbing is easier on your body but you still have to kneel down etc. Always look after your body, don't eat Greggs every meal and become fat and unhealthy, train well and do yoga/ get regular massages. That's my best advice at least.
I been through many trades, carpentry, painter decorator, tyre fitter, sound engineer, ended up being an electrician, working in Domestic housing, Building sites and eventually landed myself in TV and film as a Sparks, Made Decent money but had i spent the time Researching into creating business's or looking for gaps in the market and developing products to sell, from back then i can almost guarantee i'd be making money in my sleep right now, the hard work life isn't good for the body bare old trades people with messed up backs or bag legs, artheritus ect its not the one for me
An inportant thing to note is how much it costs them to do the job themselves. Now i dont know the exact dimensions of this guys ceiling, but for arguments sake lets assume its a middle class house with an area of 15m2 x 20m2. The average cost to plaster a ceiling is between £10 to £15 per metre squared. So 15m2 x 20m2 would end up costing the plasterer somewhere between £200 - £300 pounds. If hes charging £350 for the job, then hes making somewhere between £50 - £150 pounds. So 3 ceilings would be somewhere between £150 - £450 in profit. Again, this is just for arguments sake as i dont have the data regarding the actual cost as well as the dimensions of the ceiling, but that being said it still conveys my point. Focusing simply on the end result, rather than what went into it, is going to lead to dissapointment/ unrealistic expectations. Your teachers weren't kidding when they said you'll need math in day to day life outside of school 😅
£50,000 per annum is not going to cut it in today's world. Just a cleaner here and we (really my team) are not just cleaning but repairing high end houses with amazing painters and decorators and great gardeners and fantastic skilled tradesmen,yeah I know so sexist, all still with us many years later,why? Because they all get their basic wage and still do jobs in the evening and weekends and I allow them my equipment for a fee(vans etc unbranded).All great workers and friends as well.

Its true what he is saying, Im a qualified electrician with my own registered company. Can make decent paper, it afforded me to buy a house, open a food shop for my missus and generally live decent. Ive got my son in college in electrical installation and he is my apprentice! to be fair I dont want him to be just an electrician but at least I know by the time he is 20, he can bring in £1k per week. He wants to do video/CGI editing in the long term but ive told him to self teach and but the time he is qualified as an electrician he can buy all the things he needs like cameras and equipment etc, As well as buy other things such as a car clothes.

There is a lot of quoting, pitching, the price quoted I'd inc materials Inc vat. So the money they actually make is a lot less. It might be £900 gross that day. But it a whole month it might be just a modest £4000.
Agreed, tradesmen love talking about how much money they get from a customer but what htey actually take home as a wage over the year after all their expenses is often a lot less impressive.
YES! to set your own business as a tradesmen you need to buy tools and a van. That's it. and you can buy as you go. No student debt straight profit soon. I can very easily do £1000--£2500 in a day. People need to keep it simple and get a trade. Everyone wants to be a stocks investor or something extra. Working class men need to focus on these type of work. Also because as a society we are getting more lazy and less capable of fixing stuff ourselves, you factor in no one wants to get a trade now a days, few years we're gonna e rarer and rarer, and anything which is rare goes up in value.

I always tell the young people to look in to barbering too.. £30 appointment with 30 minute slots is £60 an hour x how many hours you want to do in a day

I wanted to get into building work but there was big recession when I left school .. Builders were earning double triple what I was at the same age …
Not many make £200k, if you had jobs everyday and worked for yourself then maybe but is not a dead cert. Saying that money is good and skills in shortage. Most degrees are useless in real world
There’s no tradesman making 200k a year 🤣🤣🤣 the best of the best would struggle at 50k-60k a year and to take it past £60k mark a year you’d need a lot of stupid people over paying you for a job and that’s not happening as not everyone is stupid and you’d need that constent stream of work any tradesmen touching 70k a year would be in the 1-5 % - don’t get me wrong if you become a sub contractor then and only then would you be coming close to 100k a year
Tradesmen? Who are they. Never met them. When you call them they rarely answer. If they do answer they probably won't get back to you then they moan that other people are taking their work .

Wanting to start own graphic design business helping businesses gain traction and covert or make meaningful brands. Seen businesses pay 2 mill for rebrands or small businesses like paying 2-10k per job. Easy can be done in a week
Trades are underrated asf especially if your end goal is to set up a trades business
Even barbers nowadays doing their thing charging £200 and doing influencer cuts
If its so easy why dont you do it
It's time to start learning electricals, bricklaying, plumbing, plastering... then get some qualifications on top
Carphone warehouse back in the day was a big money earner
I always tell the young people to look in to barbering too.. £30 appointment with 30 minute slots is £60 an hour x how many hours you want to do in a day
35 years ago you guys words was needed.
Yute man language outa dis old chap.
Dis man Electrician?
Big Zapps!
They are waiting around all week for that one £900 job. Lol
£900 a week is more then the average londoner salary if you put it into weeks
There's taxes to pay, materials, van, insurances, advertising, tools and a lot more to pay for too.
@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse yup. I used to do adwords and seo consulting for a a tradesman. He was paying me £500 a month to get him hus customers.
I was meant to learn the wet trade. But got my career patterned as a surveyor. Defo looking to learn the trade. It’s just hard work
I left school and wanted to be a car sprayer. , bad mistake ..
Trainee wage was paid and even after 3 years in the trade , my wage was same a shop worker ..
wasted 6 years in body shops ..
I wanted to get into building work but there was big recession when I left school ..
Builders were earning double triple what I was at the same age …
Not many make £200k, if you had jobs everyday and worked for yourself then maybe but is not a dead cert. Saying that money is good and skills in shortage. Most degrees are useless in real world
There’s no tradesman making 200k a year 🤣🤣🤣 the best of the best would struggle at 50k-60k a year and to take it past £60k mark a year you’d need a lot of stupid people over paying you for a job and that’s not happening as not everyone is stupid and you’d need that constent stream of work any tradesmen touching 70k a year would be in the 1-5 % - don’t get me wrong if you become a sub contractor then and only then would you be coming close to 100k a year
Tradesmen?
Who are they.
Never met them.
When you call them they rarely answer.
If they do answer they probably won't get back to you then they moan that other people are taking their work .
😹..Skills pays the bills!..learn a trade! to get paid!😂
That’s what my HGV instructor said.. ‘the skills pay the bills’
Yeah but it's graft don't get it twisted
£350 a ceiling. You got done there mate and fed him haha
But yeah your right. There's money to be made 👍
Talk about driving instructor I get charged £40 a hour for lesson !
Skills pay bills
Never mind
Bricklaying is another one, any one in here get into that as well as the rest.
Good chat
Trading is way more per year
I'm a doctor and I barely earn £17/hr.
Full time ? I doubt that.
@@Yusufmaaod keep doubting it mate Only take a quickly good search. This country is finished and doesn't value doctors. I can't even get a job as a doctor right now.
@@Yusufmaaod I had a girl who was working as a doctor for £13/hr and im thinking, no way.

Why don’t you locum, that’s good money
