i mean realistically, a good trade would be carpentry or plumbing.you can use these skills at home to save money and also do side jobs for people. Or you can slave as a construction worker for big mula. (from a mexican 🙂 )
i know a couple guys who quit lucrative professional jobs in exchange for being a handyman. they both live in wealthy areas, though. but anything from cleaning gutters, to replacing rotting boards on a deck, to painting brings in good money, and often repeat business and recommendations to friends. show up on time, be organized, do a good job, overdeliver a bit, and you're golden.
Are you fucking retarded? This was my first post ITT. I am from Kentucky and telling an Australian how much electricians are paid in my state. Shit dude.
Almost every single trades job isn't worth it unless you're a government worker or private contractor.
Government work is highly regulated and extremely well paid. Private contractors pick and choose what they do and with the right business sense, can charge extraordinary amounts.
Otherwise you'll be worker for some boomer for $35/hour whilst he hires you out for $150/hour and puts you in the heat/cold, dusty enviroments, in contact with carcinogenics and moving in unhealthy and straining ways. Even electricians and plumbers who are the high echelon of trades all have blown out knees and backs by 40.
Regardless, your first 4 years or so will be working in worse conditions than slaves historically endured as an apprentice, doing all of the shit jobs for like $20/hour. You'll spend your days toiling and building houses you can't afford to buy.
Active income is a scam and global economies function against it. Find a job that requires the least amount of effort and milk it as much as you can. If you like working with your hands, make a little workshop and do furniture building or something nice.
I work human resources and do like 2 hours of work a day and make more than my brother in law who is busting his ass in +30 heat this week as a red seal carpenter. Plus I get 2 more weeks vacation a year and a better benefits plan.
Painter. Hourly rates for professional painters can cost you between $20 and $50 for a basic paint job, or $100 or more per hour for more specialized work. You can work black a lot. Everyone needs painters and it's super easy to start your own business
>super easy to start your own business
Painters charge for two elements: labor and materials. As a rule of thumb, labor is usually 80% to 85% of the total paint job cost
Don’t fall for the trade meme.
Have you been an exceptional person so far in you life? No? Then don’t assume you’ll be exceptionally successful in the trades. And the average trade works long hours in bad conditions for shit pay. Stats don’t lie, no matter how many keyboard warriors tell you about their six figure job doing underwater pipeline welding.
Whichever one your dad or uncle runs a business for.

Electrician is one of the best paid in Australia currently.

Are you asking what trade you should learn or what will pay the most in Kentucky?
If the latter just finds the best paid one

Thought you'd moved IPs. Who cares what an electrician makes in Kentucky?
Nobody
Right to work states are shitholes to tradesmen. Jman scale is $50 in most locals in Illinois
Why is Pepe happy? Working construction is miserable.

Pffft, if only.

And it depends where you are but in the US (Texas) I know some who had to do it for 4 years on the Federal minimum wage.
Electricians will always be needed.
