Working hard every day.
In western PA, the signs along the Home Depot road, are Carpenters $35/hr, Plumbers, 30-40/hr, roofers 20-25/hr, lawn care and tree cutters, 18-22/hr.
If any able bodied person wants to do manual labor in Western PA, they can go to work, tomorrow and make around $1,000 + each week.
Please do not tell me there is no work for able bodied people that want to get up in the morning and work hard every day.
If you are a Star citizen, what do you want to do?
Yes for experienced carpenters, plumbers, roofers, other construction work. Absolute shit wages while on training/ apprenticeship. I’ll add welders, electricians and other skilled trades as well. $15 and lower in training wages. Definitely good for a 20 year old. Takes years to make a living wage. Haven’t made wages that low in 35 years.
Able-bodied? Hell, I can’t lift 20 kg repeatedly. A bad back, knees and a crushed left arm due to a drunk driver right after I got out of the Army decades ago seen to that. So I went into software engineering. Use my brain instead of my brawn. So warehouse work is out for me as well. I did try. But failed even the Amazon/ UPS/ FedEx lifting test.
