    Work in Construction and Earn a PENSION!

    I grew up thinking that working in construction was grueling work that couldn't earn you a comfortable life... Boy was I wrong. ** Spoiler Alert ** Not only do workers in the trades earn WAAAAY more than I thought, they also have the golden ticket to retirement... a PENSION!! A guaranteed monthly income for life that you can start drawing from at age 55 and just have to work for the union for at least 5 years to vest! By listening now, you will learn why entering the trades could be the best decision you ever make.    FUN FACTS: When Dave retires, he will likely draw ~ $9,000 per month (pre-tax) as he sips piña coladas and eats bon-bons... (Not likely, but he could...) He bought a house when he was 19! He had zero college debt He has zero career regrets His work looks different every day He loves to use his hands and be outside He can see the fruits of his labor all over the town he lives and loves If you start an apprenticeship tomorrow (with local 290) and you didn't know the difference between a hammer and a screwdriver you would still get paid ~ $20 p/hr and after 6 months you would get a $5 raise, then subsequent raises every 6 months thereafter (~2.5%)!  Pay equity  Do you need more reasons to seriously look into a career in the trades???
