All I know is that I got in the wrong trade. 16 yrs of being a metalstud framer/lather/shitrocker, my back is fucking blown out. I doubt I'll ever go back. Currently up in Butte county just chillin.
I got in first(1993)My older brother seen me making bank and wanted in. I said don't get into my trade, plumbers, elctricians, and tin-knockers make waaaaaaay more, and it doesn't even look like they work that hard(lol). He chose plumbers union. Than my younger bro same shit, but be chose electricians. Then our cousin got in to the tin-knockers union.
They get paid more(on their checks, our pension and annuity is better). Their backs are still good. I'm fucked
*growing weed can pay waaaaaay more than 15
