Painting is a good one if you don't want to work too hard physically. It's kinda dull for me and I get sick of it quickly though. At least you can listen to podcasts all day long if you're alone.

Yeah painting is tedious as fuck, does feel good being able to see your work though, painting a house or something

Being an electrician might be okay but I hate the idea that you could die in an instant.

just keep one hand in your pocket so you can't get zapped across the chest. modern electrics wont allow a high amperage earth-fault anyway. DC electrics are more scary 'cus you'll stick to it, AC will throw you away

blue collar is the shit

crippling back pain starts in your 30s


if you faggots wanna be real men, come try fixing new cars. youll need to have a ton of computer background to diag. anything.


edit - not changing oil or brakes on a new car. check engine light is on, you've got a variable valve oil control problem, come diag that with your brains then you need to fix it with your hands. chicks dig it.

you mean OBD-2... we all know about this sir, who do you think ya talkin to?

Blue collar work is awful, bros. Your back will be a mess, your knees, too. Probably your neck will also be fucked, also your shoulders. Only do it if you can find a way to do it on your own terms. Chronic pain isnt fun.

I was taking The Future Mrs Horner out on the town when I was young and broke, a few months after my car had been stolen by some gangbangers who'd fucked it up good. (The car, not Mrs Horner.)

We were just driving along and her teeth started chattering and it turned out she was getting zapped by some exposed wires that had been left over after the thieves had ripped out my stereo.

Always a solid way to impress a date.

Blaze’s day off. Weekend at Blaze’s.
Do another outdated reference, stupid.

Once Valuum joins it's over.

I have nothing to do with any of the administrative stuff, I have no idea. Not on the discord, I'm not even certain who runs it.

that's kinda strange for car electrics since they're generally 12volt DC with chassis ground, there's obviously higher voltage to the spark plugs but still weird... not sure I'd believe her

Edit: this faggot wears Skechers.

For work they're perfect because they're lightweight and they're cheap so you don't mind if you drip paint or mortar onto them



Rutherford B Blaze's dad is a junkie pedophile btw

This nigga is 50 lol.

I did learn this "trick" from a guy who's 55, but he's completely right. Also Bonds Explorer are the only real ass nigga socks, everything else is retarded.

Some construction jobs rule, or you learn to put up with it over time and it becomes tolerable.

Roofing pays very well if you're good with heights (I'm not).

Carpentry these days is basically for retarded people unless you're a master carpenter or some sort of specialist.

Concreting is hard but it pays well and some phases of it are fun, i.e. destroying old slabs with a jackhammer, sealing driveways if they're exposed aggregate, etc. Carrying mesh and the pours itself suck though.

Brickies get paid too well nowadays with some guys getting paid up to $3 a brick. It's fucking bricklaying.

I wanna get a Bobcat to do earthmoving because some guys charge a minimum of $500 just to get the fucking machine there (which is bullshit) but all my money's tied up. It would be the choice job for someone once they're 50 because there's barely any physicality involved but it earns a great living.

Plumbing is a handy trade but it's so cut-and-dry that there's no artistry to it. But they don't work terribly hard unless they have to dig a trench. A lot of them are like, "ah, I need to go to the plumbing store to pick up a piece I need" and they're gone for two hours, drinking coffee and reading the paper in the plumbers' lounge.

Being an electrician might be okay but I hate the idea that you could die in an instant.

I could never work an office job. You can't say cunt, you can't smoke or drink while you're working, and you can't not show up because it's raining. You get the worst traffic and you need to iron your clothes. You have to shower in the morning. You don't get paid to keep fit. I wear Skechers and don't get haircuts. The only shit part of the day is getting up at like 6 or whatever.

Some construction jobs do rule. I did various ones most of my life until I was 30 or so. Mostly concrete forming and finishing.

Painting fucking stinks as far as job satisfaction goes. Agree on the dullness.

Roofing isn't particularly satisfying, either but better than painting. Hard on the body, too.

Agree on carpentry completely.

Concrete is pretty great, but it beats you down. Knees and back take a beating. There's definitely an artistry to it. Forming as well as finishing.

Bricklaying is wack. I labored in it for a good spell. It's cool seeing a skilled brickie work, but so is watching someone shuffle cards. I never cared enough to try to excel.

Equipment operation is definitely a desirable skill and trade. Guys who are good at it are almost magic. High startup cost, but always in demand.

Dead on with plumbing. Fuck that playskool toy box shit.

I have no work experience with electricity aside from my house. Same as plumbing, if you ask me. Black and white. Make the wiring look neat is about as creative as you'll get.

I've never heard anyone say that learn to code nonsense in real life. Sounds like some shit for boomers to be outraged about but never really happened. However, we were absolutely told you need to go to college. Anything else was practically failure.

A roofing guy offered me a job for $2000 a week straight away (raises would come later), plus a company vehicle so I don't pay for fuel. Five days a week, no working past 3 PM. But heights are my achilles heel. I can push a wheelbarrow like a nigger all day but I won't get on a roof without scaffolding.
