Crawl spaces freak me out, you don't know what has been down there or might be still down there.Lol I appreciate when people do that. I understand sometimes people are just curious and wanna see what I'm doing but it can be a pain. One time when I was under a house, my customer followed me down there...š¤£
Sounds like you need to look around or go in business for yourself.I've been a plumber for ten years and I only make $17 an hour. I ain't making anywhere near $200k.
I work for my father. shrugSounds like you need to look around or go in business for yourself.
But how much does your father make? š¤
Sounds like you need equity in the family business

All of them are physically strenuous. Maybe plumbing, but even so that's got about 15 asterisks next to it. It depends on what you specialize in for a trade though.
Actually I believe truck driving may be the one.
"You probably asked yourself: how much can I make as a trucker? ... Although you might not be able to make $100,000/year off the bat, but given the truck driver demand, and with experience, specialization, CDL training and the right company, you can make $80,000+ on a trucker salary."

Not soon, truckers haul all kinds of stuff. Can you imagine a robot filling up the gas tanks in a convenience store? Or unloading groceries at a Publix?:(
plumbing is the least scary/dangerous one? god
aren't truck drivers being replaced by self driving trucks though (or will be soon?)
Depending on what you're doing, electrical is the safest/cleanest. New commercial construction is nice, and there's so man safety requirements you have to be ignoring them to get hurt.
Plumbing maybe, but it's a lot of melting pipe or plunging water and more crawling around.

Yes.Maybe I should go into a trade. My current career path failed.
Is it possible to start in your 30s?
Yes.
You can make a 100 grand a year driving trucks. Thats not even a skilled occupation. But you are going to earn it and pretty much live in your truck.
There is no easy way to make a lot of money.

Depends...what are your thoughts on poop? You know, like digging in it, cutting open pipes that are clogged with it, having it possibly plop on you from overhead...that kind of thing?

Nope, neither do I. I considered it for a time some years ago, when I wasn't sure what I was going to do.
...But then I was told about the poop. That was the end of that.
$17/hr is a bullshit wage for a plumber.
It's true. My sister is an electrician and she works 40+ hours a week solely at new constructions. She only did housing during the first years before she even got to level 3. Not every plumber and electrician is crawling through dank areas.

You should definitely talk to your dad about paying more or looking elsewhere if not.
$17 is probably on the high end for a younger guy (presumed based on 10 years experience) in a non-unionized low cost of living area. Those bonkers salaries don't exist without unions. In a vast majority of the country tradesmen only earn slightly more than service workers (retail, restaurants, etc...). The least desired labor is paid below even that cause the work force is dominated by the most desperate (illegals, convicts, substance abusers) who can't get a job anywhere else. Are you guys really that divorced from reality that you watch a PBS show and believe plumbers/electricians in Mississippi/Kansas/Kentucky are earning $50-$100/hr and $100k-$200K+/year? Do you envision 28yo plumbers are riding around in Ferrari's with million dollar mortgages? Do you think areas with nice sized new homes in $150k-$300k range exist by paying the framers/roofers/plumbers/electricians $90/hour?
I work mostly in sheet metal/hvac the few jobs i noticed that are "easy, safe, not hard on the body "so whats the easiest, least scary/dangerous trade career that doesn't wreck your body
I work mostly new construction its not clean at all. I do notice electrician try to work as clean as possible and often are the ones that complain about having a clean job site the most, but it can still get dirty.It's true.

I've talked to many truckers about this (who deliver to our building) and they say no, it's never going to happen. You can simulate it on some test course with a test building and dock, but it would never work in the real world. Every place they deliver to is so different. Trucks would never be able to find a bunch of places, let alone back up into all these loading docks.:(
