No union for me bro, and this iron working is soooo much easier then the drilling rigs
I hear ya, I worked structural steel, but went to pipefitting.. But yeah, the rythym is different than a drilling rig, and those workover rigs.. oh buddy! It was so much better for me when I got off the floor and worked pits or derricks. Sucks having a driller or pusher on yer nuts bird dogging you.

Lucky you getting on the iron, I gotta admit I had a great time working construction.

No shit.

That is why I said chickens. 5 bucks a dozen for eggs. I sell grown chickens that are laying for ten bucks. Baby chicks for 5 bucks. I will even kill, clean and sell whole chickens.

I don't have to pay for eggs and chicken meat.

The money adds up fast. Easy 50-60 bucks a day. No effort once set up.

I also work on cars and do home repairs and remodels on the side.
I've been trying to set myself up with chickens for a couple years, not too hard or I'd have em already..lol. I figure between those and my garden i can feed myself for a good portion of the year. I know nothing about raising farm stock though, so it's a little intimidating. I want to cut my teeth on chicken then move up to a pig , then a cow a year. Slowly getting there...

My friends just killed all their meat birds this past weekend. And they had to slaughter a couple roosters too because they had too many and the roosters were raping the shit out of the egg laying hens.

Fuckin roosters. Hahah

my cat needed a 3500 surgery immediately over a weekend so I couldn't get to the bank, through it on amex. there r other emergencies that arrive completely unexpected. I'm not trying to hassle you, I sense you're older than danksta and have learned to make it all work. I think ppl tend to have more freedom and options playing-ball with the govt some. personally i wldnt mind being off the grid completely, but it's more of a dream because I like perceived security.
A bullet woulda been cheaper

So I am still fucking around with restaurants at 30, I make pretty good money like between 15 to 20 a hour, I don't pay taxes like most do because I don't claim all my tips.. FUCK YOU IRS!!!

But I am damn good bartender/server and people like me, I really don't know why but as long as they give me cash I don't care..

However I am getting older and possibly looking for something better. Now I can grow some fire ass dank all day which pays great and all, but this industry is getting over saturated. I use to get 350 a ounce and now I am down to 235, the quality has got better but the price keeps going down.. But at this point of my life I consider it as a profitable hobby..

So my work history is.. start to finish.. First job was at ACE hardware, then braums as a cook, boston market as a cook,then highway construction started as a laborer and worked my way up to a heavy equipment operator then foreman at 18, lol.. then I sold hard drugs, got clean then started serving and bartending, then started growing pot, then had some shitty warehouse jobs, then I worked at machine shop, then a metal fab shop, then back to heavy equipment operator, then as a rigger in the oil field, then back to selling weed, then back to server/bartender worked my way to a bar manager at two different places,then a GM at a hydroshop, then went to growing pot on a larger scale while remodeling houses, now I am back to server/bartender.

I got good people skills and can sell anything.

I went to college for about a year for CAD when I was 22 but hated it, well my college kinda fucked me over..

But I can build anything, I just have a good understanding of how shit works..

I am thinking about going back to school for something, I just can't pinpoint what exactly I want to do, so I am here asking for some advice..

I hate working 70+ hours a week though..

when I worked in the oil field the safety guys Osha cert made great money..

Petroleum engineers in the oil field made 200k to 500k and it's only 2 years if I am not mistaken..

Crane operators made like 120K

idk..

I hear that a degree in construction is one of the best careers at the moment..

Maybe even a CNC programmer??

well anyways any suggestions??

And no dick sucking comments plz ;)
