Get into military and go into medical field in the military. Start out as steril prep, move to surgery tech, anesthesia tech etc. get his feet wet and then the sky’s the limit. He could become a respiratory tech, x Ray tech all within two years while in the military.
My wife started out with a BS from A&M in Construction Science, went to Associates in nursing, then BS in Nursing, then Masters in Family Medecine. She picked up $30,000 more when she got her Masters. Point is , the medical field is wide open for anyone willing to pursue it. The military is a great place to start it.

Line school or on the job as a helper and a 4-5 yr apprenticeship and he can write his own ticket. He would be able to work anywhere in the country. I have new apprentices that made over 100k last year.

And now I see the above 150+, same question for those guys.
Not sure how the above questions “sound”. I’m genuinely just curious and a young guy with nothing else to worry about could put in some good time and get started out right.Last edited by MLank; 02-24-2021, 07:52 PM.

I know that you said no trade school, but TSTC is hard to beat for a 2 year degree. Spend the first year getting the basics done and the second strictly on your chosen field. They do a lot of hands on training in labs, not just sitting behind a desk all day every day. I graduated from there in Electrical and Instrumentation. With that foundation I went to work in electrical substations. From there you can work for just about any major city/utility and be home most nights and make good money. Or work for a contractor and travel a lot more and make really good money.

Don’t want to hijack your question but would like to add how much of that money is time away from home/travel pay? My current job is great but I can see issues arising once kids come into the picture due to travel. Just curious

They sacrifice everything at home to try and get power restored quickly and safely as possible. I see the demand being even higher for lineman in the next few years.
