A simple question,

How much do you earn/minimum if you work in Construction in whatever kind of type it will be. It dont matter.

I got to know

[N]

It depends where you live and what type of construction.

[[̲̅$̲̅(̲̅5̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]]

It will vary based on a lot of factors

Location and position being the major ones

More context to the question?

This really depends on factors like country, branch and so on.
I think youll have more luck googling XD

They don't get paid enough I don't think. Back breaking job and I see them working in the dead of summer, big no for me.

Depends on the trade you pursue and location.
Out west you make more same with up north. South east you'll be making about 40% less than north east for example for the same trade.

Carpenters, pipelayers, concrete work, asphalt work, surveyors all pays around $13-20 here in Florida.
Welders, electricians, pipe fitters and roofers and even cabinet installers, heavy equipment operators, forklift operators make way more around $18-25 just starting in florida. (also depends on company) electricians are the group that can fall in-between both pay grades.

Sadly I chose the wrong profession. Too fucking dangerous with minimal construction pay. In the end I'll be switching into a new trade. Short term loss with Long term gain.

Some do and some don't. Sadly we do what we need to provide for us and our families. Hard life, never home. 45-60 hours a week most the time. Summertime heat is no joke.

Most of us come home angry, can't be around people who care simply because we lost our reason to care between the stress and companies abusing the shit out of us. We drink a lot. We ain't got time for feelings. Feelings just don't matter after a while you just push and push till you break or you become someone you hate.

Yeah.... something like that...

A lot of variants but the bottom line is you're not going to make any decent profit in any job unless you're the boss.

Either be a boss or your own boss. That's if you want to get anywhere in a relatively short period of time.

So many get caught in the rat race.

Right now I am a superintendent for a smaller construction company in Texas. I’ve not yet been hired on 100% (I have absolutely zero experience in this field) but have been working as an independent contractor and pretty much just babysitting the crews.

I make good money for sitting on my ass, about $14/Hr and it will jump up once i’m officially hired on.

Google exists for this exact question.

You'll still be babysitting crews all day on the job site just watching production when hired on so nothing changes lmao.
Lucky you being hired with no experience as a superintendent but makes me wonder.... do your knees hurt from all the sucking or did you at least do yourself a favor and buy those good knee pads the slide not scrape ones?


Gotta pick on you a bit cuz it won't be the first or last time hearing it lolol.

Best jobs in Construction with Trade School education would be Electrician, Plumbers, and Welders. That's my opinion. You can often call the local unions of these trades and see if they have apprentice programs and ask how you can join.

Shit yeah forgot to even consider union over non union. Unions are great.

Lol these motherfuckers already have nicknames for me. On another job site im on, they are religiously enforcing the mask mandate in the summer time in Texas, and Im the only dude to enforce it.
