I am currently a residential painter and the money is just not in this trade. I am about to get my painters license and will get it but I don't feel this is the right direction for me. My friend recently came back from the Army and opened my eyes to Union Jobs. If your wondering why I didn't know about them is mainly because I come from a poor family with no one being educated. I didn't go to college due a personal and financial situation. I have been talking to some guys in the IBEW (electricians union) and most seem to be happy with what they earn and they enjoy their job. I applied but am kinda in a fork in the rode. Union, painters business, or something different. I dont mind going to college to get a certificate but mainly I dont want to go to college because of math. I am horrible when comes to math.
What I am asking is for some advice if you would like to comment. I'm looking for a career not a job. Something with benefits maybe a city job. The union guys also told me about a certificate LA Trade School offers and I have been calling & emailing for information but haven't received anything from them. If you know a job please comment below. Thank you.
