Wow, I need to get my post count up :p

FIXED!

People think because they wear a suit and tie they are special or privileged :shakes head: when really your only paying more for yor work cloths!

Around here we have management on salary that have to dress the part mean while they are only making half of what us dirty construction/contractors/electricians do! Ummm 50-70k or 100+ (the plus can be huge depends on how much OT you want to work!) I'll take the dirty labourous job with the better pay :tup:

No, it's not. It's cool for the first week or so. Then it sucks, and dry cleaning adds up. Plus, wearing a suit and tie in the summer in Houston is a recipe for swampass.

I almost always wear slacks and a dress shirt. I only wear suits when necessary and typically never wear jeans to work even though we can some days. Just preference. Blue collar work can definitely pay well no doubt. Just not my thing.

To each there own!

I am one who couldn't sit still long enough to work in an office

Me either! That's why I'm a consultant haha. Although having to travel every week gets old too.

Some of our clients have strict formal dress codes and we have to abide by it. Luckily the client I'm working with is very casual (jeans everyday).

Ya travel sucks. I very rarely work out of town where I can't go home at night. My time off is just more important. There job sites I could go to and make 200-250k out west but then you are awa from home and just working 7-12 hour days no time off. Maybe one week every 4-6 weeks. Then when you go home you feel wierd like its not even home.

Greetings!!!

for me it's just easier to make more money working in an office. plus, im not getting younger. :ugh:

Boy that was a looong meeting... wow

what are you dudes talking about right now? whats been going on?

Sure it can be for some. Just depends on what you do for a living. Same goes for blue collar work some is sh!t and sh!t pay to go with it. But if you have a skilled trade you are/will be laughing!

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Mu, I fricken love you dude...

I enjoy doing plan review and inspections. I am in the office looking at plans and doing paperwork, but then I get out of the office to do inspections on a regular basis as well. I get to see a variety of construction, plus we do a lot of work for TPWD that gets me access to all the State Parks and Wildlife Management Areas :tup:

Thanks cherries...:tup: I actually had the chance to just sit back and listen in, it was great.
