It also says he's looking for some one to hire him and train him. College courses are a good place to start and show your interested and committed to a field.

This is a blatant lie for the sake of convenience. I on the regular am working 60-80 hrs weeks and so do my coworkers because we can't find enough skilled trades. And the companies that hire us can't find enough contractors. Go get your creddit card out spend 5k on a small gas welder, spend another $300 on a few boxes of welding rod. Spend a week fucking around and sticking scrap together. That, welder will be paid of in 6months. Don't want to weld. Okay go download the eaton hydraulics catalog. Learn about fittings, hoses how to mesure and identify.It's free online. Find your local hydraulics supplier, parker/eaton/danfoss/amazon/princess auto. Go spend like $500 on wrenches and some sockets. See a piece of heavy equipment. At a job site, drop your name and number at some point, they are going burst a hose/ rip off a fitting, need to install an attachment, fuck up a pump.

From an employers standpoint, if you aren't willing to even invest anything into yourself to make your own life better, why the hell should I. If I see a some one who is atleast trying to learn and invest energy and effort into building a better life, (not just submit the same resume over and over that they wrote 3 years ago) damn straight I'm going to help them get there.

For the low low price of 10k and 6 months of free time you too can get a job!

[+] Mpatch@lemmy.world -7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Case and point. Not willing to do better for your self why the fuck would anyone else try to help you get further. It actualy blew my mind when I first started how many helping hands magically appeared as if from thin air when they saw me trying to get ahead and busting my ass off. The trades might be full of assholes. But most of those assholes won't let you drown.

How do you think an average person has 10k and 6 months of living expenses just laying about. People who need jobs aren't sitting on cash buying avocado toast.

There is a difference between not willing and not able.

It simple work a few more hours in a week, fuck your Friday night plans because your working. Fuck your plans on Saturday and Sunday and all the other hours of the week, fuck watching that new series on because your working. And when you get ahead. You sure can do what you like. It's not impossible, yall just been defeated before you left gate.

Also 10k is way too much. Find something used for 1/4 of that price.

THIS WAS ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A JOB!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING??? I FEEL LIKE ICE TAKEN CRAZY PILLS!!!

The solution to not finding a job is easy, just find a job that supports you with 40 hours, but also pays you for unlimited overtime so you can do this crazy become a welder diy scheme I came up with.

Wow it's so easy! I also realised you can cure depression by just not being so damn sad anymore!

[–] Mpatch@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lool if you don't even have a fuckin job bud there's even less of an excuse to not bust your ass off. In whatever the hell it is, you would end up in. It doesn't have to be welding. It could be anything

Hell get some rat traps, go door to door in a city, and sell god damn rat removal, you set and remove the rats. Go pluck weeds. Go learn carpentry and wood work for fucks sake home depot offers the DIY seminars. Yeah it's basics but it's a start. Google and YouTube how to use a paint roller. A bucket of plaster costs $20 and a putty knife like 2$ at a dollar store. Practice until you can make it so you no sanding is needed after. If you got no job then what the fuck are you doing orher then bitching about not having a job and blaming everyone around you as to why.

Don't know bout you but I've been dealing with depression for a damn long time to know what's what.

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Just get down to the plastering shop and give the manager a firm handshake, that's always gotten me a job! Ass busting and firm handshakes is my policy!

Why am I responding to this AI crap.

All that would get you is a minimum wage job which you could get anyway without spending all that money.

Without a trade certificate you are a labourer.

[–] Mpatch@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Lol this guy. Ai crap. Another one to blame and bitch about how you won't get better if you try. Look at you giving up already. Boo hoo just a labourer. Yeah a labourer with a fucking job. And there's alot of labourer jobs out there that pay damn well.

skilled trades

The trade needs skill, and the number of people who show up, experience a day, and ghost because the job requires manual work is pretty high and return to driving for Amazon and complaining about it.

Theres a lot of shitty employers too, but there’s a large number of people who just want to collect a cheque in exchange for dropping off packages.

[–] Mpatch@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

People are scared to even try to work hard these days. Worst yet, they don't and never will know what they are capable of, what amazing shit they can do with their hands. I always say, if a dumb fuck like me can do it. There's no way you can't.
