If there are any other nonas in trades here - how do you put up with this world???
i could rant for HOURS but basically while i actually enjoy fixing things and being active and i don't mind getting a bit greasy, i just cannot deal with the people in this business. 95% of guys in trades are literal stone age far-left-of-the-IQ-bell-curve cavemen who salivate at any useless shiny bauble that says "Milwaukee" or "Snap-On" on it and THROW their money at the salesman offering 50% interest financing plans, condemning themselves and the GFs and wives they often somehow have to a life of debt slavery
My sister is like "oh at least there are hot guys" lmao these guys inhale hot dogs and soda and "self-medicate" totally avoidable bad knees with weed and vape. The soundtrack to every day is my colleague's douchecore spotify algo playlist (literally Nickelback, late Eminem i.e. "Ass Like That" and Thong Song and Kid Rock). Not attractive
The couple (literally 2) cute and possibly interesting boys I've met in this business have been taken and too painfully shy/awkward to get to know well respectively
Everything is filthy and disorganized and if you try to be a bit more orderly and organized yourself, apparently that makes you a princess
the vehicles are all disgusting because apparently guys who drive them all have no self-respect
I feel like my friends are slipping away because we can't relate to one another's daily lives and when I get home I just feel exhausted and like time is passing with no way to differentiate one day, week, month from another
Anyway that's all, just getting older with a wrench in my hand and my ass in the air and my face in the dirt

I did a bit of tradie type work for a little while and it inspired me to go back to college. The work itself wasn't bad but I can't stand the type of people who do manual labor. They are all egotists and/or have huge chips on their shoulders. Tons of low iq out of shape people who are always trying to posit themselves as better then someone else and put each other down. That, or they're drug addicts, or maybe both. I knew that if I had to spend 40+ hours a week around these people for the rest of my life I would eventually snap and shoot up my workplace. I feel genuine sympathy for any intelligent decent person who just likes carpentry or whatever and has to deal with this all the time.

>>130572no advice but I just want to say I read your post and I want to say I feel for you. I wish I could give you a hug. <3 maybe you could try talking to that shy guy again? in my experience, they say they really like being talked to but can't express it in the moment.

Why don't you get a job in aviation maintenance?
They're much organized because of tool control requirements for aircraft.
You're still going to see people throw their money away on tools, but they make more money so maybe they're more financially responsible considering their income.
