Just like the Brandon Carter episodes, this one was tailor made for me. Just got my CDL 8 months ago and been driving an 18 wheeler professionally for the last 7. Been OTR to 44 states and am making more now than i ever have in my life along with recruiters constantly hitting me up for more opportunities. Ive got my sights set on 3 once I get my year in, and haven't decided yet on which one I'm going to take. In either case, I'll be making 110k+ once I get that year in. I took my Hazmat Endorsement test and aced it 100% on the firsr shot last month. I'll be picking it up tomorrow in my home towns P.O Box. Afterwards I'll be heading to the DMV to pass my Tanker endorsement test to add that to my license as well. I absolutely owned 2022, 2023 and I will own 2024 as well. 💯 Let's work fellas 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
question: whats the ratio of time off compaired to the time you have to spend at work to make that 100K? as a new father myself i want to make that kind of money but i dont want to sacrafice my entire life just to do it
@Sn1peSh0t112 me being a single man with no kids, you already have the wrong mindset my guy. Worrying about days off is the reason so many of us aren't making that money already. Just being 💯. "Greater Later." Shout out to Brandon Carter. Put in the heavy work up front so that you can EARN those days off later and reap the benefits of your labor. AKA Earn Your Leisure. If you're a new father, you should have been grinding twice as hard as me well before your child got here. I've literally been grinding, planning, networking, taking notes, sacrificing HEAVILY, taking huge leaps of faith, destroying my comfort zones, lived out of my car for 4 years, got mentors while also mentioning others etc to ensure I intentionally put myself INTO position to be a deadly unshakable force for my children once I DO have them. I'm doing what it takes to make it happen while also keeping my moves aligned with my goals/passions that I excel at. Everything I'm doing is set on a path to get me where I ultimately aim to be when I have 4+ sources of income/passive income. Before anything else my brotha, shift that mindset to doing whatever it takes to solidify the future for yourself and your child. "Do what others aren't willing to do right now, so that you can do what others aren't able to do later" Whatever it takes ✊🏿💯🔥
@@Sn1peSh0t112then trucking isn’t for you .even home daily jobs you will be working 11-14 hours a day .just enough time to get home see your son for a bit and head back to sleep.been driving for 3years with tanker/hazmat daily then flatbed otr.what I have found when ppl talk about having a life it really just means they want more time to themselves to do nothing and not be productive.during my time off I have hobbies but I also am studying for flight school and still hit the gym.the money is there in trucking but it’s not a 40 hour 9-5 job.i personally don’t recommend it to anyone that’s in a relationship or have kids.
@@Sn1peSh0t112 then trucking isn't for you its not some 40 hour a week 9-5 job. Even home daily jobs is 11-14 hours can sometimes even be 16. I honestly don't recommend it to anyone in a relationship or have kids. But as far as the pay its definitely there. Been driving 3 years tanker/hazmat daily then flatbed otr. Wht I seem to find is tht ppl that talk about not wanting to sacrifice their life just means they want more free time to do nothing and not be productive. I have hobbies but I still manage to study for flight school and still hit the gym.
@Sn1peSh0t112 if you're interested in trucking you might be able to find something local where you're home every night, fresh out of cdl school. Check food service companies. You'll make 100k or close but you gonna work for every penny, making deliveries unloading product at each stop. I started driving 7 years ago, my first job was in the the food service industry. Physical work, you're home every night and usually I'd be so tired I'd go straight to sleep but I won't trying to go over the road..
This episode has been a long time coming and really opened my eyes to the fact that us men need to be focused on infrastructure/trade jobs instead of dreaming about becoming an artist/creator like most of us have. Trades are one of the most solid paths to becoming a millionaire that a man can do. On top of being useful, ethical, and masculine work unlike a lot of the arts/social media work.
if you own the company itself....most blue collar workers with less than 4 yrs of experience make less than $20 a hr with journeymen making from 20-30 a hr... even masters are only offered 28-38 where im at and its a oil field town....if you own the company you can charge more than $150 a hour for labor
@@Sn1peSh0t112 It’s important to get into the right high demand trades where you will start making great money right off the bat. They’re not all the same.
I owe a paint company and had one for 12 years before moving out of the country for 4 years. I came back after a divorce, with nothing to my name, but my tools. I was able to rebuild my life in just 2 years. I have my kids 50% of the time and work the other 50%. I am able to afforrd a house on the bayside and raise 2 kids with working only half the time. Key is to specialize within the trade and stack equipment. I mainly do historic restoration and high end finishes.
@DiceRoller96 I work in Florida. I originally was trained to paint in NJ and learned historic restoration there. Alot of it involves plaster work, trim fabrication, finish carpentry, restoring the original window and lead paint removal. Yes, there is a lot of money in it. It takes specialized training though and it's easy to screw up and damage something.
Heavy truck repair shop owner. This one was gold. We need more young men to work these jobs. The pay just keeps going up. Bought my GM a Glock for Christmas. Honest hard workers will make however much they want
Got my cdl at 18, I'm 20 now cost me $5,200 at a local community college, under 21 is damn near impossible to find a job if you wait until you are 21 you can get it paid for by a company, some companies that hire under 21 are local crane companies, core mark, us foods, fastenal, and coca cola depending on the state. You can get a loan and apply for a grant to get your cdl and I got mine in 3 weeks. Worked for a crane company they will hire you alot of good experience carrying counterweights for the cranes you follow to job sites will get your foot in the door for a crane operator cert. Making 70k local since I was 19
Great ep yall need to do a second part of why you shouldn’t buy box. Especially for those guys who are working away from home in trades for long periods of time they can fall into paying for play while they’re on the road
@@dolanduk7946 Does this mean you would be okay with having an untrained person work on your equipment? Training and licensing is good and weeds out the non-hackers.
W Show for the algorithm on a Money Monday. Straight Fucking 🔥 Value . Stop looking for shortcuts to get rich fast, focus on your Talent/Craft/Skill & or Job becoming best Quality Product!
I was working retail until I got my cdl 6 years ago. now I work 2 full time jobs, $50 an hour driving residential trash truck in the morning and $27 an hour for my night job working for my city. I also just started my own junk removal business for my side gig
I worked for a drilling company for a few years to pay for college. I made a good life in healthcare, but I do miss the open skies sometimes. I made as much money drilling as I do in medical. I do enjoy the climate control and being surrounded by young nurses instead of grouchy roughnecks. Any of you young guys that want to get into trades though, don't forget about drilling. It's hard, but fun work.
@@ShinidoshiYep, I bridged over through a Physician's Assistant program in 2018, but my Wife went the Nurse Practitioner route. Honestly, I was making more money traveling with the BSN though. The main benefit is fewer hours and less traveling. There are a lot of options out there in medical. I've got a buddy that had an undergrad in Chemistry and he went into a Nurse Anesthesia program. Insane amounts of money there. Just if you go back to school make sure you can make a living with whatever degree you pick up. My Lefty Sister has a Masters in psychology and digital animation...yeah...She stocks shelves at Walmart, been divorced 3 times, and has 15 cats...
As soon as I graduated high school in 2022 I went into electrical school and it was prolly the best decision I could have ever made. A few months after I started working I was able to buy a new truck. So if anyone who sees this is contemplating whether they should go into a trade or not, do it, the amount of experience u get and money you can make is insane. You’ll thank yourself in the future.
Young guys out there thinking about going into the trades. Be prepared. Most are not cut out for it. You’ll have to work your balls off. And be prepared to be abused by the older guys. But keep cool push on and the money will come. But it won’t be easy.
Exactly bro. I work for the refinery started off as a 3rd party contractor. Got an interview 1 year later got hired. It changed my life. Started with the railcar loader making 100k then moved up to plant operator 145k then now am a mechanic/plant operator and make 185k full benefits, union. Been doing this 10 plus years am mid 30’s age wise. Am also the union steward for my plant now. We get a lot of turnover because a lot of people have zero interest in moving up and are lazy and get fired. The Most I made with my properties and job was 450k for a few years. I wished more young men would go into these fields.
Im surprised you guys did not mention the automotive/heavy duty mechanic trade much. I’m a 23yr old apprentice automotive mechanic, the beauty about my trade over most others is us techs get paid flat rate so we show up for 8 and can make 20+ hours a day as long as you are a solid tech. I’m a 3rd year and make 100k, our journeyman’s make 200k+
Damn that’s amazing! I have a friend that does this and was telling me recently. I never was into Mechanics. But i guess alott of places are offering apprenticeships rn because they need more mechanics so it might be a path for me to try
@@kingnaira8648yes it can really depends on shop. You can deal with inconsistent pay or poor management…but toolboxes have wheels for a reason if your good you will find somewhere that pays well. Id suggest fleet work as soon as possible
One of a trade you can do at night is aircraft maintenance for an airline through trade school for 18 months or 24 months including associates degree. It has good pay, flight benefits, and a good union
A lot of airline mechanics come to work at the Railroad I work at in NY as Machinists or Car Repairman. I wouldn’t recommend the airlines . I was there years ago and it changed a lot . I made the transfer to the RR 15 years ago and never looked back. Miss the flight bennies but they’re not like they used to
I first met Thor on the High Value Academy course a couple years back. Very intelligent man. I even requested Myron for this episode some time ago. Glad this collab happened 💪💯
I got offered a job in my city in Erie, Pa. It only starts at $25. Goes to $35. It’s fine for the cost of rent here. I don’t even pay $1k for a townhouse here. But it takes 4 years to get to that $35 wich sucks and I don’t think it’s worth it rn to deal with the public. Worried about getting shot or stabbed by some nutcase.
As someone in the trades industry no one talks about the miles of wear and tear it puts on your body just saying. At this point at 35 I would take a slightly less paying job that didn’t take such a toll on my body. Good luck everyone great podcast as always ❤
This is true to an extent. When I was young I spent 90% out in the field doing work and hated the 10% being in the office. Now, in my 50's, it is 80% in the office and 20% out in the field.
Respiratory Therapist do not typically make 104k you would have to do travel RT, be a director/high in management, or work at two hospitals all year. Nurses also don’t typically make 100k either
@@bigzachful First you figure out what kind of trade you want to do, mechanical, electrical, pipefitting etc, then you call your local hall and ask them. They may direct you to the apprenticeship school first or they may give you some contractors to call. Another good way is to get to know some tradesmen and get in tight that way, there is a LOT of networking opportunity in the trades.
I would never want to be a scumbag wannabe like the influencers today. So yeah I could never be an “influencer”. I influence people to be good people, that’s my influencing. Imagine being a “man” like these influencers today. I’m not gonna sell my dignity, image, and soul for it. I will gladly work one of these trades and make $120k a year.
You can get your CDL for free depending on your state. Talk to the workforce of your state tell them your interested in getting your cdl. First interiew is to see your serious and see if it a good fit. Then for me was math, english and drug test. Then process begun, 3 weeks. If your state doesnt have it, get a liscense in another state where you got a friend or family. DO NOT GET A CDL THROUGH A TRUCKING COMPANY. Also do not take advice from truckers who do not have investments. I listened to investing videos, stock info and fresh n and fit while i drove. Getting ready to rent my truck out to cash flow while daytrade and travel.
I do residential HVAC and I work at a company as a service/sells tech get paid hourly plus commissions. I make over 120k easily and I work with techs who make 200-300 k and let me make this clear I work no more then 45hrs a week so don’t think I made $120k+ working 6 days 12 hrs nope 45hrs average. This year I want to break $150k.
Great podcast as usual! Don’t sleep on blue collar work. I’m 47 years old, have a small handyman business that I own an operate and am able to make a living part time even with health issues. Wouldn’t make a fraction of the money working some job. Freedom to dictate my own schedule,etc. wish I could go back in time and go the union route but that ship has sailed for me. My nephew started Flory Line Construction in his early 20s, now has 4 shops across the U.S. they are expanding and hiring currently afaik heavy equipment mechanics and linemen. Check them out.
I’m only 45 minutes in but I hope he talks about having thick skin cuz the trades will eat you alive, gotta roll with the punches and be witty with your words so people like you and you don’t get picked on as much along with working hard.
I’m 24 now and made a 160k and 130k the year before. And I only work hard some days. And have a truck and housing payed for and am able to study and invest as I work. So even if this reaches one guy that’s in a slump get in the oil field in west Texas just can’t be a puss. Apply at many different places and find one you really like.
Anyone looking to get into the trades, research all the utility, and construction companies in your area, so you can see what positions are in demand. Awesome episode!
A trade people dont commonly talk about is plant operators and data center technicians. These jobs pay very well. In addition to this look up nerc certifications and they offer 3 types for power distribution operators. They work 4 12 hour shifts a week sitting in a ac room monitoring and controlling the power grid, like homer. and clear 120 k a year. Rc cert pays the best 15k for the training and test worth the investment. Also x ray techs that get a associates in that field make 90k a year on average.
My dad is a plumber, he works for himself and said after I finish in military I can come work for him, he said if I’d been working for him as long as I’ve been in the military I’d already be making 100k, do you think it would be better to work for family in plumbing or get a plumbing apprenticeship with a company?
@@amazinglats6020 assuming the family company is legit, you can do both at the same time. Just make sure your hours are properly tracked and reported to the state to progress your apprenticeship
43 retired army and about to jump into welding and machinist (manual/cnc with cad training) in 2 weeks on my GI bill and then its the expat life for me!
Just to squash the bit if misinformation about plumbers, you can't (at least in my state) get your journeyman license in 6 months. It requires proof if 8000 hours worked to even apply for the license test. But, most people with a journeyman license are knocking on the door of 6 figures if they aren't the master license holder for a shop. And he's right plumbers and electricians are allergic to each other. But there's a level of unspoken respect between them because they are 2 of the highest paid trades and the schooling required for each.
how to make 6 figures in blue collar? own the buisness...the end.... i used to be a electrician until the week that i found out my boss was charging $300 a hr for MY labor not his not my coworkers MY LABOR because i could wire $50k chandaliers and not break a single piece of crystal, then complained that he gave be a $1hr raise for my year with him.....its a unregulated scam
You’re forgetting that most people that have the skills to manage people and a business are in college at this point. Tradesmen often do a damn good job at what theyre told to do but struggle if not directed in my personal experience.
Going to school to become an electrician society tells us to go to college and get a degree im here to tell you guys take a shop class in high school like automotive or electrical or plumbing what I wish I woulda done when I was in high school but it’s never too late fellas God bless
Great episode! Didn't know about many of these jobs. Would like it too if you can invite people to talk about STEM careers as well, for the US but also UK.
As a family man not worth it . I’m a foreman for a fire sprinkler service company at 25 have every cert available and it’s a dead end . If you are not willing to give most your life to it you are fired and construction community inside huge city’s is so small that all the owners golf together and talk so it’s the same old crab in a bucket analogy. If you are looking for a decent career then yes but if you are hungry for more don’t.
Just because you missed this live doesn't mean you can't ask your question. Go and look for electricians and ask them personally. Fresh and Fit aren't the be-all and end-all, they just open your eyes to different opportunities that you don't realize are out there.
My Gym buddy is a ex power lineman. He had a goal 10 years go hard and step into the office. He paid off 2 houses and now he makes alot less but he said it physically demanding.
And there was this Reddit a hole talking about it’s the same thing stagnate all this hater stuff and they pop out with this fire 🔥 bro Reddit guy fr got bodied by fnf
IMO we need trades back in the schools, some folks in my generation complain about low paying jobs but are unaware of great careers like this, hell I was lucky most of my family came from trades which is the reason I was able to get into one
Home inspection is not bad. Some certified home inspectors make up to 6 figures. Thats what I'm studying for right now online. I received a roofing inspection certificate so far.
All my guy that’s don’t want to go to school try to get ur foot into the oil&Gas Industry. Try to land on a rig or casing crew. It doesn’t matter if it’s drilling or work over you’ll make good money especially in North Dakota, Canada. There’s a bunch of other states too but those two are the highest paying.
I run a tile and bathroom business. Its great money. Working hard being professional doing things the right way. I dont know y we run away from good hard working jobs ?
I am an Aircraft Mechanic apprentice making 56k a year. You can learn as you go on the job or go to a 2 yr school. Going to the school is the smarter route.
