@MikeKoke285589 @lt_stavrogin @TheOmniLiberal 500k is crazy, but making 150,000-200,000 is much more realistic.

Thats enough money to live a good life if you ask me

Attached below is a prevailing wage sheet for the city of Waltham Massachusetts. I highlighted plumber cause that's my trade.

@Cognitive_US @BPerroden5798 @TheOmniLiberal You get that upset over some jokes at work?

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@SassyPotato2022 @HausPrometheus @TheOmniLiberal This information is misleading, entry level welders aren't diving underwater, they are learning to weld in water, usually doing work in shallow water.

Saturation divers earn between 1,500-2,500 a day for specific jobs

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@cement_chocobo @BPerroden5798 @HausPrometheus @TheOmniLiberal No its not, its like saying baseball players can make up to 30m.

No one is saying welders make 500,000

They're saying the best welders can make up to 500,000

@LangmanVince @elonmusk Your wrong about Democrats man, Im republican, but I know tons, absolutely tons of democrats who are sick of the focus on LGBT, diversity, and the rest of the bullshit.

I know if a candidate ran on individual values, rather than party lines, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@TheOmniLiberal I feel obligated to say, I agree with Destiny on this one, and that's rare.

Nice to see he doesn't cower to his audiences expectations

@jokbro346397137 @hirohito1490 White woman are responsible for the destruction of the white man.

We fucked up giving them the right to vote

@project_omnis @IranObserver0 Superior tech? There jets struggle to stay in the air

@realcloverMR @SiscoMatos @Blaqueskywalker @aresteanu @dancantstream Still waiting

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@realcloverMR @SiscoMatos @Blaqueskywalker @aresteanu @dancantstream Disprove one of them then

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@natesweather @giaotvu @PBCollect79 @TerasGhost He can become an apprentice just like that, he'd have to do a 5 year apprenticeship, take night school and pass the exam.

Still, takes 4-5 years depending on overtime (6,800 working hours under a journeyman/master)

Pretty sure an engineer just needs a 4 year bachelor degree

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@natesweather @giaotvu @PBCollect79 @TerasGhost You can use that argument for anything, what happens when there's an oversupply of nurses, what happens when there's an over supply of engineers (oh wait, we know exactly what happens, there is an over supply of engineers)

Most plumbers don't work residential work.

When your union, health insurance, retirement, etc, aren't deducted from your pay, that's why there's such a large difference between hourly rate and total package

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@natesweather @giaotvu @PBCollect79 @TerasGhost Your severely misinformed on how much plumbers make.

I was making 25 an hour as a tier 2 apprentice back in 2020, as a tier 4 I was making 29.50

That was in 2022

Average pay for a journeyman is 40-50 dollars an hour in massachusetts
I'll post union payscale below

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@grok @giaotvu @natesweather @PBCollect79 @TerasGhost By entry level plumbers do you mean an apprentice plumber, what's an entry level journeyman making in massachusetts in 2024

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@giaotvu @natesweather @PBCollect79 @TerasGhost @grok in massachusetts, who makes more money. The average college graduate in 2024, or the average plumber in 2024

@MisterWayne1776 @GenBlessings99 @iamyesyouareno Mexicans can be white

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@natesweather @PBCollect79 @TerasGhost As you progress in your apprenticeship, you will gain tiers, which results in higher pay.

At tier 1, you usually make just above minimum wage. By tier 2, you're making about 22-23 an hour, tier 3 25 an hour tier, and 4 closer to 30

This is based on Massachusetts

[Jim @Radneckbeard69]

@natesweather @PBCollect79 @TerasGhost You have no idea what your talking about

Im a plumber, you work as an apprentice for 4-5 years.

In those 4-5 years you will undergo 550 hours of class room training, usually at night 2 days a week.

Once you meet the requirements, you must pass a test, then your licensed
