QUOTE (INVU @ Oct 7 2011, 07:08 PM)  If i were you, i would deff try and get into the carpentry side of the trade, and lean more towards the renovations and then you can do all your carpentry, concreting, plastering, bricklaying. really whatever you want. or though you wouldnt be able to go out by yourself and call yourself anything but a "Carpenter" as you havnt actually done an apprenticeship in Plastering etc. Finish your apprenticeship in carpentry and then think about starting another trade qualification. Fuck this is what annoyes me about chippies im a concrete pumper and i have to deal with chippies who did some pissweak fucken premade shit at tafe and they instantly think they are a concreter? Should just leave the proffessionals do their thing they waste my time everyday and 99% of the time i end up screading it, i dont go grab a hammer and call myself a chippy and start smacking up walls. Side not if your a plasterer for highrise you will make a killing bud. but if your not interested in that just be a chippy |

QUOTE (AJ94 @ Oct 6 2011, 11:01 PM) Hey guys, as some of you may know, I'm looking at starting my Apprenticeship as a carpenter, I was thinking the other day that plastering also seems like a job I would enjoy and I know a few plasterers making fairly good money.. How do you think plastering compares to carpentry money-wise? And can carpenters also do plastering or is it a whole seperate job/skill? First you have to study some more details about both jobs if you are confuse about that what you have to choose. In my opinion both jobs are looking hard. I am not much sure about the money difference for both. I thinks carpentary is best for you because variety of work but decision is yours. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Window Tinting Yorba Linda |

We don't mark out every stud in our plan. Even when you guys bring the cables through their not even at the right height!! And yeah we can swing a hammer, right into the fucking sheets where ever the fuck we want cause useless c$@^s don't do their job after telling them countless times they need to bring shit through... Not only does it waste time for us but it also creates more jobs for you when you're back patching all our 'fuckups' END RANT  Haha this man knows, I work for a communications company doing data, fibre optics, fire systems, security systems etc, I'm leaving the industry soon but I think this is something you should consider that will provide a long interesting career as products equipment, techniques, standards change fairly quickly, the growth in fibre/data work will continue to grow for a long time, the national broadband network roll out is going to be huge and the money will definatly be there, plastering would be so fucking boring, its a skill yes, but carpentery if there your final 2 choices, is a way better option. |
