Dude I can’t say it enough, I’m so proud of you and what you’ve accomplished thus far. I remember watching you before I started my journey, and now, here I am fulfilling the vision I had for my life. It’s a trip bro. I love what we do as plumbers, and even more so as the other skilled trades. Our work is dirty, it’s mental and physical, and we sacrifice our health along the way in order to keep others safe and secure. If I could make every trade easier, I would, but that’s a challenge that is ultimately dictated by the individual.
Really love hearing this! Super encouraging! And yes thanks for offering your view point and showing others it's legit work. Really glad.its working out for you so far and you are keeping with the tools! Thanks for sharing
Plumbing is far from easy, now does it become more familiar for us along the way? Why yes of course! I always like to remind myself how impressive and important it is on communication that a good journeymen shows with others. It’s probably one of THE hardest things to master because quite frankly a lot of old heads are stubborn as all hell and there is a huge gatekeeping mentality that needs and hopefully goes soon! Good foreman and journeymen admit their mistakes or concerns, doesn’t matter if it electric, carpentry, plumbing etc). One misspoke can set plans back days weeks or even months. We’re all there to do a job, have fun and communicate with each other.
Well said! Thanks for that insight and input! Appreciate you sharing that with all the folks and it's always great to see someone who is invested and still sharing the knowledge!
Hey Joon, just found your channel. I have an interview with a union coming up Apr 3. Just wondering if you had any tips in addition to your interview video? What kind if questions do they ask? Thanks!
Hey, glad you found the channel. Congrats on your interview and as far as any other advice I'd have to say the videos are good and you got to tell them that you want it and you're actually not going to quit. I think that's the biggest thing and you're going to try to become better throughout your entire career. Keep us filled in
What do you mean instrumentation? Like an avenue of education? Bar none, a 5 year union apprenticeship is the best door opener for opportunities. At least nationwide and highest paying. But if you're just wanting plumb in your area there are many avenues. All comes down to what you want.
You absolutely, do not understand the importance of what your learning. It takes a while. The dunning Krueger effect is real. Good luck with your career. Its a good one.
Tough to say. It's more technical at times on both sides. It's more dirty on both sides. It's more hard on the body on both sides. It's really a matter of what you want to deal with on a daily basis! Great question!
Do you have your license? If not, you'll have to apply and go through our program. If you get your license you can apply to join but you'll have to work really hard to make your name bc we consider a person a "white ticket" who didn't earn their stripes like US through a 5 year program. Anyway that's the routes I know of
@@JoonRhee ok ok this is actually cool, I’m the second year apprentice that was helping out Andre for a bit in the shop. I used your older videos to learn offsets, takeoffs, and make up. I was just thinking wow this guy knows what he’s talking about imma subscribe and then I meet you in real life without noticing it was you on yt 🤣
@@JoonRhee elijah but close enough. its really cool watching older videos and learn from ur challenges. watching second year you and comparing it to myself makes me feel a lot better in the journey. I love the job that I do and the friends I'm making on he way
@@Yogurt589 damn! I knew it was an old testament name! Right on partner! Really glad you are gleaning from my journey! It's fun for me to look back too! See you around brother!
