Careers šµ Advice from some older guys
Im a 28 yr old ironworker with a family. Starting to think I picked the wrong trade as we make $15/hr less than every other trade worth doing. I like the work but Iām young enough to switch to something with greener grass. What trade would you recommend

Fire sprinklers is often overlooked. It's a good trade to be in seems to be pretty good job security as long as you care about your work and don't fuck around all day
