Great Jobs Without A Degree

[xAmericansovereignty]

I've worked on and off in construction, let me tell you.... you may make 15/hour, but the expenses that go with working in construction isn't worth it, the rugged assholes you deal with on a day to day basis... isn't worth it... the small talk low life mentality... isn't worth it... the dirty illegal immigrants... isn't worth it... using a port-a-potty that smells like hell from down under.... isn't worth it... days you get your hours screwed on... isn't worth it...

[vfIskullangel]

Were the fuck are these jobs? Now adays you need college to work at Mcdonalds or Walmart.

[Tracy7122]

where are the jobs at that do not require a degree local in california

[TheJustanotherDave1]

Nothing unusual here. Like most hands-on trades, it's not glamorous and it's hard work. But if you're good at it, it can be very lucrative. Not everyone is cut out to be a plumber, but then not everyone is college grad material either. A young person today has just as much income earning opportunity with a tech school degree or an occupational trade (like plumbing) as with a BS degree - maybe more. Next time your shitter overflows, take a close look at the plumber's bill - then do the math.

[007vishwang]

Bullshit...

Just Pushing people & country back...



[KKZReset11]

Students are so indifferent to the real world, it is funny. Their parents are retards too. Lol, since when does a fucking degree acquired from an environment that pushes alcoholism, promiscuous behaviour, and endless partying provide anything that will help a man survive or better himself in the real world? You see the world is not thinking straight. Something is broken, and guys like the man in this video are fixing it. Just sad that there arent more of him around..

[kav996]

@KKZReset11 well said

[3089280288]

@KKZReset11 and don't forget the college sports issues too.

[KARLCIESLAK]

STACY LOL

[silentc1015]

He's not lying; plumbers make a lot of money.

[draqmoon86]

Ha ha ha He is making a LOT OF MONEY even if the work is consistent. My uncle is a plumber and he has a mini mansion.And honestly even with the economy being messed up he still gets CONSTANT WORK. leaks dont stop people are idots and havnt a clue on how to do it themselves. Its dirty work but my uncle makes 90 dollers an hour and more for bigger jobs. Think about it

[MusicforMe123]

$68 dollars an hour sounds great, but he does not get jobs every hour, so it averages out. If you work for a corporation you work 8 hours continuously, so the hourly rate is a little deceiving. Let's stick to annual wages rather than hourly rates.

[DREwestcoast]

@MusicforMe123 are you stupid or just looking to justify the time you're wasting sitting on a college chair? if one wants to work more, he just seeks out more costumers and therefore work harder so = more money

[MusicforMe123]

@DREwestcoast The stupid one is you if you believe he can maintain a $68 dollar an hour on a continuous basis. I like to see him fly from one job to another. $68 an hour is what he charges for the length of the job then he gets zero $ to travel from one job to another. The premise of the question was the inflated figure of $68 an hour when you have so much time in between for traveling and not receiving any money for it. It has nothing to do with more jobs you dumbass.

[DREwestcoast]

@MusicforMe123 'so much time for traveling'... really? do you know any interstate plumbers you dumb fucking hick? no, because they limit the travel to raise their profit, and the number of jobs only matter if his jobs are made quick

[Chewy7771]

@MusicforMe123 stfu, he works for himself, meaning he probably has a registered business...at the end of the year the money he spent travelling is a write off.

[MusicforMe123]

@Chewy7771 The IRS will be on his ass if he writes off $68 an hour to travel from place to place. You are one dumb mother fucker!

[Chewy7771]

@MusicforMe123 You stupid redneck! How can you be any farther from what I originally said. Travelling expense = driving his vehicle, business flights etc.

So the money he spends travelling, which is a PORTION of his income (i'm sorry I forgot percentages are foreign concepts to hillbillies), is tax deductible and at the end of the year he'll get a break. Man, you are so dumb I feel sorry for America.

[MusicforMe123]

@Chewy7771 I feel sorry for your stupid ass. I am not a redneck, but proud to be an American. I have never heard of anyone as you say take a business flight to fix someone's plumbing...LMAO, who is stupid now dumbass. I feel sorry for America if there are more idiots like you.

[prehistoric28]

What did everyone else think of this new book that has received much hype and talk? "You Have A College Degree, Now What?" is the name of it.

[ashthegreat]

68 dollars an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

[hardleecure]

that really is cheap for a plumber.... REALLY cheap.

[glazerguy58]

@ashthegreat -  68 is not high, where you been???

[MegaMailbox]

heavy equipment really pays

[MacPr0xnxx0]

i bet fire-fighters get paid well

[hardleecure]

in canada it's about 60-70K rookie year goes up with rank. when you reach captain you're making 120+

[kuruki213]

he is not lying about his hourly rate but is he pocketing 68 dollars an hour no he is self employed running a bussiness and there are costs is he making alot of money? Yes he is .

[certifiedgangster05]

hello everybody, i want to know more info about this plumbing job, i was just calling a couple of unions and to sign up for an apprentice and they told me even though they get me in the waiting list i have to wait like 2-3 years in order to even start as an apprentice??!! wtf

so if any of you out there work as a plumber or anything that doesnt include that much college please contact me, im barely 20 years old and i dont want to waste my life going to school without knowing the possibilities.

[erwannbouedo]

not very encouraging, made me want a lobottomy

[DIJV79]

Plumbing is a stinky job but it pays dam good, college degrees are obsolete the education system has not changed with the times technology has changed faster then govt, check out the article on MSN more people are opting out of college degrees it's not worth the time are the money are the debt.

[TCFan25]

same with alot of registered training organisations too.... I mean you could spend hundreds-thousands of dollars doing alot of short courses and even still not use them to get a job. Never has there been a better time in the past year for these places to crow on about upskilling and sucking people in to pay for training when in fact alot of people still don't get to use their licences or tickets.

[e521soediv]

He SAYS he charges 68$/per Hour. Its different from making 68$ per hour constantly. He only makes that when he gets some customers.

[ElMajeNica]

I agree with this video, we need plumbers, ppl working at mcDonalds, and cleaning ass holes, to make the jobs other ppl don't wana do.

Now if your white, stop reading this!

You ppl from other countries need to take over the good jobs, you must go to college, since you can get loads more of money. a plumber in new york can make 80K+ and pay like 10% of it in taxes, a good job with a B.A.(S) can make 400K+ and 15% of those in taxes. a teacher makes 140k with 15% taxes.

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

Your a fucking dumbass. You don't know what you are talking about.

[Gorb0r]

I earn 120k a year teaching spanish in AK, I think he's actually right.

400K? wow I don't think you can make that much with a PhD.

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

Your a LIAR dude. You not NOT earn even half that teaching Spanish in frickin New Zealand you must think people are pretty stupid to believe that. Oh wait they are.

[atlanta5321]

@Gorb0r why do people lie abou their incomes. its such an empty victory and doesnt make sense

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

@ 0:25

"And now I make like $68.00 an hour"

WHAT A LOAD OF HORSE SHIT!!!

$68.00/her based on a standard 40 hr week assuming no vacations is $141,000.000 per year. Not even mid level executives with MBA's make that much.

HE IS FULL OF SHIT!

[andrewh1985]

If he runs his own business of course he'd be getting $68 an hour. But then he has to pay for tools & running costs of his business which MBA's dont pay

And if he is travelling to different sites throughout the day then there might be 3 hours of time that is not chargeable to a client, therefore only having 4-5 chargeable hours a day.

5hrs * 68 = $340 a day

5days * 340 = $1700 a week

48working weeks * 1700 = $81,600

He then wouldn't get paid for holidays, sick leave, etc

[d2paintballer]

If he's running his own business, it's not horse shit....I know a dude who makes $65/hr. , and another who makes $95. Using flat rates you can charge $200 for a job that would normally only take $100....that's where you can make the money. It depends on how you approach it.

[ElMajeNica]

This can be true if he works in Alaska or New York, or even California. I know ppl who makes 140k+ on teaching at high school in those states.

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

140k per year teaching high school?

BULLSHIT!!!!!

[ElMajeNica]

I agree, those ny dudes suck ass, they are killing us...

[inkprints946]

@LeftLiberalSoCal hell yea maybe in the hills, try gettn that in the hood, ahhahahha

[lettuceman13]

@LeftLiberalSoCal dont they get like 24000 a year?

[elektrikcity]

I spent 11 years in college & graduate schools.

One day I asked my plumber how much he make, he said "$20,000 a MONTH". He asked me how much I make, I replied "same as u.. all last year" :(

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

There is no way you make 20k per month as a plumber. That is complete horse shit. People LIE about thier incomes. They feel bad so they lie. It's that simple. 50k is the high end for plumbers. If you are self employed its a different story but even if you have a full book of business your not making 20k per month. Thats an upper upper level executives pay.

[e521soediv]

you just made that up.

[RMPIF]

great video very informative and sincere

[williwo]

Theres nothing wrong with the concept of College. But it should always be viewed as an optional path and not a mandatory institution crammed down people's throats. We have to remember that this is America. This should be the land of individual ideas. Not the land that is obsessed with how many people went to an Ivy League school.

[fabioproductions]

wow not bad!

[victor2cutube]

our wonderful service economy.. forget manufacturing.. who needs that ,.. let China make everything.. we can just buy everything from them like we do with oil from the arabs

[DREwestcoast]

@victor2cutube with what money? LOL

[TheStoicAgnostic]

well you definitely can't get any job ~with~ a degree

unless you are in a nice nuclear family that will pay your tuition and have connections into a company after

I seriously advise people to not go to college and you may as well drop out of high school

it really makes no difference

[nltate]

Don't underestimate the value of an education. It is more than just a boon to your paycheck.

[4dville]

*clap*

[DREwestcoast]

@nltate you can educate yourself FAR better without even having to pay

[bobleeleebob]

college is overrated... you dont need it...

there are people with degree..that cant perform better than any high schooler...

if you can speak and think of common sense and knowledge, you can do things without that piece of paper.....that all it is ...

and you will debt free....

[barasu1shou]

Just depends on what you want to do. Though I think the college system is messed up and unfair, being the way it is, commonly, ppl won't be considered for their jobs if it weren't for a degree.

[TheStoicAgnostic]

that's pure propaganda

[brucenatelee]

I'll try to become a plumber. $68/hr.? Math time:

$68 * 8hr/day = $544/day

$544 * 5days/wk = $2720

$2720 * 4 weeks = $10,880/month

$10,880/month * 12 months = $130,560

HOLY SHIT!!! I would be able to pay off my debt in a week!!! Fuck universities (reason why I'm in deep shit).

[Dmitriy27]

Interesting vid. I always did everything right, never used drugs or anything like that.

After HS I joined the military, then got a b.s. in math. Now I'm 30, have a shitty job, no health care, ...and no personal life.

I kind of wish I just stuck to one thing after high school, because this blows.

[BuddahsSocks]

Well, I'm still holding out for brain surgeon.

[BoboBerlinsky]

I would like to learn brain surgery but I can't...I have drain bamage. :(

[slayer666metallica]

LOL. not trying to be a snob but was that sarcasm or are you serious? haha..

[BoboBerlinsky]

Ha haaa Slayer. I make de joke.

[johntaheri]

there is a book on brain surgery out for dummy hahaha lol.

[BoboBerlinsky]

Oh good!...johntaheri...does the book have a lotta pictures in it? If not, I have to get someone to read to me. Haaaaa!

[godstomper]

LOLOLOLO.
