My husband and I both love HOUSES. We’ve both done construction;I’ve been a superintendent twice for two major residential construction builders in my area, we have tools, I LOVE LOVE LOVE doing Interior Design (I’m quite confident in my talents), my husband LOVES redoing and making house plans (he plans to be an architect), we love business, we build our own furniture, and we love old/abused homes to remodel, fix up, and sell!! How and where and what do we do to get into this??

In any case I have a choice of going back to doing roofing and finishing my apprenticeship or looking for a managerial office job to make what I am making now (17/hr).

The office job will take me longer to find. The roofing work is easy to find cuz I have a truck, my own tools and experience. I could go become a foreman at $30/hr eventually too, the only downside is that it is dangerous and the cold/rainy weather 1/3 -1/2 the year blows.

On top of that I am in school for BS in Business Admin and should go back into the office world to make use of my degree once I graduate. On the other hand I hate to throw two years of apprenticeship in construction away when I am so close to finishing it.

I know that the office thing is easier, but I have this gut feeling that the roofing is a good move, what to do?
+ I am proud to know a trade. My friends work at temp agencies and low end jobs. I like the fact that I can go in at 17-20/hr and have a skill. When people ask me what I do, I am proud to tell them I am a roofer. I am not proud telling them what I do now even though the money is good.
Thanks, I am going to law school to become an attorney after undergrad but I need something that pays until then.

3rd) Start: $11.00hr End: $12.00hr

My Audio/Visual experience yielded skills which can be used in Plumbing. Ex…I learned how to work with tools and some basic construction skills along with how to work in construction environments.

I have been in Plumbing now for one and a half years.

I am sick to death of being pushed back when I take a new job and want to get to $14.00 an hour. This is where I feel I should be at this point.

I have just joined the Plumbing Union and fear that the employer will try this $11-12hr garbage on me.
