some of my friends are plumbers and electricians, they make about 40(plumbers) and 50(elec), you might need to go to college, unless you join an apprenticeship.
makes me feel like a loser for being unemployed when i have rich friends

Well, this is all I know abou it: Go to your local community college and get certificates in plumbing and electrical work, and then DEFINATELY GET HVAC CERTIFIED. Then, buy your own tools, and a van, and go to work as a contractor for someone like Lowes. or Home Depot, that's the best advice I can give you. I know a couple of guys in Pennsylvania that do that and they make about 75,000 a year, so it's better than truck driving, which ranges from $30,000 to $80,000, and it's definately better than welding UNLESS YOU CAN GET A WELDERS CERTIFICATE, show experience with a company for like at least 5 years, and then get your own welding rig together on a heavy duty flatbed pickup truck and work on assembling gas pipeline *USUALLY OUT WEST BUT THEY HAVE THIS TYPE OF WORK EVERYWHERE*. Those guys make like $240,000 to $350,000 a year. So unless you plan on being a doctor, that's the only other way to make that kind of money, problem is, getting the initial experience right now. It's tough. I'm driven truck for 8 years. I'm 29 years old and got laid off in september in Oregon. Now I live with my father in Illinois. I'm going back to school to get my Illinois CDL, and then back to work. I kind of want to fake an address in Iowa because I hate Illinois and we are getting ready to buy a house in Iowa anyway. But… who knows…. That's my problem, no one elses, I'll work it out like a man. -john in Iowa (at the moment)

There is a huge shortage of skilled tradesmen.
I am a Journeyman Machinist.
I went through a 4 year apprenticeship training program. I worked and earned wages during the apprenticeship. The working and schooling is the important part of the apprenticeship. Besides the schooling, 8,000 work hours were required to be awarded my Journeyman's certificate.
3 years of blueprint reading, 4 years of math (Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry) and 4 years of Machine/Machining Theory.
I was one of 37 that started the course. I was one of 12 on graduation.
Not everyone is college material. Doesn't mean they are not smart, just need to learn a different way. Being smart and working smartly with your hands can be a rewarding career. With the shortage, wages tend to be very good. At least $20 an hour or higher. Construction wages are higher yet.
When I graduated I had been working for for years and carried no education debt. Tools were paid for. Not a bad way to earn a living.
I out earn a friend who is a CPA. I work in heavy industry.
