    There’s a startling lack of quality a lot of the time now, it’s gonna get hella bad when the trades-boomers go.

        Exactly. Nobody wants to work for unliveable wages. It’s a wage shortage, not a labour shortage.

        Or, after being tired of being lowballed for work and offers to be paid in exposure, “fuck you, pay me.”

          A local (and very well off) welding company wanted me to pay for my own courses and equipment when I applied. It would have been hundreds of dollars out of my pocket, for MAYBE a chance to be taken on as an apprentice, if I withstand being the shop bítch for long enough.
          PART TIME.

          yea,

          FUCK OFF
