| sheet metal or metal fabriation as career
Looking to get into trades and thinking either sheet metal or metal fabrication? Which one is lighter and easier to learn the trade?
I went into session for refrigation tech and it seems more difficult to learn than sheet metal. Math involved since it's electrical component. Refrigation are very technical these days with technology
Also electrical scares me can get killed shocked
With metal you just get cuts lol
Plumbing ok but dirty and gets heavy I hear

So from reading his other thread he wants to learn a skill but wants to skip the grunt end and learning aspect of it? I'll tell you what one of the guys who taught me once told me that I never forgot, everybody needs a bitch. You want someone to spend time training you get that ass up face down and shut your fucking mouth because you're going to be doing the grunt work for a while.
Maybe go watch Karate Kid, wax on wax off motherfucker, you might not understand why you're doing what you're doing but there is a reason.

I'm just gonna go ahead and copy paste what I said in the other thread. Quote:

Yes. You're going to be doing manual labour work, that's what being a fabricator is. I would ask on the first day if there's any possibility of them paying for your schooling... But that wouldn't be for a year or two of you working for them.
