I'm curious what health insurance that only costs $20/month covers. Hey, is heat free in Minnesota?

Bear in mind this assumes you will work a second job...

The trades are all hard work, but you can make a decent wage. However, buyer beware. I remember a few years ago I read an article of someone complaining that they went to school to be a welder because of the high pay and then didn't get anywhere near what they expected when they graduated. And that's really really hard work. I worked with some welders early in my career. Not what I would consider "fun" work. I have a cousin in HVAC that makes pretty good money. Everything always depends.

Well, in regards to those HVAC schools, the payoff is relatively immediate after 2 years of training. Assuming your state has a strong Pipefitters Union, that person can take out a student loan that's not usually very large, and then make an apprentice's wage scale for a few years before becoming a journeyman, and then a master, if they're motivated.

Union? You dirty Commie! No one needs a union; the company will look out for your best interests.

So what do they live on during those two years of training? When they're already working one or two jobs already, and maybe taking care of a family as well, with a husband or wife also working one or two jobs?

My neighbor next door did the HVAC school and was working fulltime in that field. Left it to go bartend.

Duh. Just get a "small" loan of a few million dollars from their parents to tide them over.

$2060/month income? At $10/hr, that's 50 hours a week. $600 rent? For what, the cheapest studio in the worst part of town? One bedrooms in my town are probably about $800+, and there are very few of them, because anyone with a place available for rent can make more than that just doing Airbnb for a weekend.

$150/month car payment? No heat? Cable and phone for $100?

Four to five years with some trades here in Chicagoland. Makes it tough unless you can catch on with a good company and work through the year, otherwise you're collecting unemployment until spring when called from the hall... if you get a call back.

I know electricians can get paid training around here. My friend's kid is doing just that.

You're advocating genocide. Every sperm is sacred, after all.

Also, I don't think McDonald's employees get free food...

It was half price when I worked there and that was the early 80's.

When I worked at Sam's Club, the basic membership was free, and the remainder cost of the Plus membership was taken out from paycheck to paycheck, so $2-$3 per check.

When I worked at Target and Wally World, I got a 10% discount.

Were they forcing you into the higher membership bracket? When I was there back during college, the 98-99 school year, it was just the basic membership for free.

Put it this way: when I worked there the second time, they were really pushing for everyone to be a Plus member. The talk I got was "it's okay if you choose the basic membership, but the Plus is what you REALLY want." And though I was in carts, they gave "coaching" to cashiers who weren't getting people to sign up for the Plus membership.
