Getting a tradie is what is currently very concerning. I have friends in the industry who have customers offering moon money to start their jobs first. One offering $550 per hour to move them up the ladder instead of others. If you want me I need to push others down the line......
Its not the insufficient trade training from these guy. The tradies I speak to don't want to hire apprentices, as most are drugged up, or drunk, or don't turn up. Complain about everything and are useless with common sense. They are benefiting from making that decision.
My nephew is doing well for himself as a 21 year old apprentice. He has a house and wants another rental shortly. He works all day every day. So there are good stories as well.
Are they , really? Perhaps it's also a case of not wanting apprentices? "I can do it quicker/better, myself."Quote:

Perhaps they should sit back a bit and wait for more certain and reasonable times.
Hey if lawyers can charge out at $550/hour+ I say good on the tradie if his skills are in demand.
