I’m in the HVAC trade, Industrial & Heavy Commercial In DFW, a good HVAC guy can easily make close to 50$ an hour not counting benefits In 2023 I made 120k with minimal OT I dont do much selling/quoting that could give me probably another 20k if I tried Elevator workers in DFW make 53 an hour for scale, Hard to get into Plumber/Pipefitter scale is 3875 ish an hour I have had interest in being a Lineman & also Elevator mechanic I do medium voltage work currently, so linemen wouldn’t be out of the realm

Comment from : @arat2376

I would not get into HVAC All these companies want to send you to Nextstar Network training academy for 3 days of brainwashing to sound like a robotic sales person A simple capacitor call turns into a 2 hour full system check with a bunch of BS paperwork and following their stupid agenda card So, if you're still interested in doing HVAC, find a company that is non Nextstar Network affiliated

Comment from : @teamsters2824

Heres the best advice about the trades:brbrMost of you won't make it You'll hate it or just not be good at it Even the guys who make it all want a more comfortable job toward the end So if you're going to join us make sure it's a line of work you're actually going to care about If you just want to punch a clock this isn't the place for you
Comment from : @socalrefrigeration548

Just learn how to stack skill sets Welding, fitting, layout, blue print, forklift, man basket, rigging, etc are used by different trades The more skills you have the more valuable you are to a company or even better a customer A single hand welder can easily buy some tools and become a rig welder if they know what they are doing

Moving from the automation controls industry to Lineman I could probably make the same money as an E&I tech if I really apply myself and build my skills, but I really want to give this a lineman career a trybrbrI would never have found out about the Lineman career if it wasn’t for automation, and it amazes me how diverse the electrical world really is So I’m just going to learn as much as I can from both the Lineman side and the engineering side

Comment from : @carpentryfirst3048

Just wanted to add to a good video Low voltage controls which can branch out into several different things Hvac , Fire alarm , access control and security equipment You can do very well in any of those with minimal training or cost of equipment HVAC repair awesome in term of what you can make and the low cost of entry and overall low risk Always be conscientious of your physical limitations , you want to do something that won’t destroy your body because you need to last Obviously there are some gigs that pay crazy money for a reason Keep the risks involved in mind when deciding what you want to get into
