If you do can you say what you do . How you started it? Do you enjoy your business? Is it saturated? How much you spend on ads? How much revenue/profit you make? Is it an online business? Would it be hard for someone to replicate? How much does social media effect your business?

Onshore £6,000 - £12,000 per month depending if I choose to work weekends or not.

Offshore £5,000 per week, usually 2-3 week trips.

Instrumentation & Control Technician, 4 year apprenticeship got me here.

You did a 4 year apprenticeship and then started working independently, that’s it? Or do you work as an employee?

Man where do I sign up? I work in our family business rn making around €6k, doing welding and construction. I wanted to get into saturation diving, but never ended up doing the course in Norway... I studied mechatronics and instrumentation and control must be interesting too..

+1 trades. Bless up

Seriously overlooked market honestly, at least for many trades. There is so much work to go around it's silly

[–] Lololololol889@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it is indeed insane but i think trades are considered looked down upon mainly for the younger generations while they should not be

[–] MillwrightTight@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

To be fair I think parents are to blame. There is a huge "go to uni, trades are for dummies" narrative that gets peddled, and a lot of kids don't get wise to it until they're already 75k in debt with a degree they are having trouble leveraging
