Problem is breaking into them

Everyone wants more tradesmen but none of the current tradesmen want to train any

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

They're desperate now days. When I was younger and 20ish I tried breaking in and was basically told if I didn't have a friend or family in to forget about it. I eventually found myself a niche in the trades, but it was rough and not what I wanted. Now we're facing this demographic shift away from the boomers and because they where dicks about it then, it's a thing now.

I encourage any young person reading this who feels the slightest inclination to make a circut of their local union halls.
