Yeah.  This meme that all tradesmen drive lambos and live at beachfront property in Miami needs to die.  

Trades aren't a bad option, especially for someone who doesn't want to work at a desk, but 100k in 2 years is smoke up the butt.

Have a friend who just became a journeyman  Lineman after a two year apprenticeship and is making $45 an hour

Which is great and all until you factor in the 100 hour workweeks, never seeing his family, being on call every other week and freezing his ass off in the midwestern winters

Edit: The 100 hour weeks are usually in the winter during his on call weeks (depends on if we have heavy storms). I think he’s on call every third week but he does do more during bad storms. His average week is between 50-60 hours. Just wanted to clarify
