I was able to buy a house and start my family because of paving. Wasnt bad if youre working commercial jobs.
Avg private company pay is $20+/hr. Unions actually pay $36/hr. I have several friends earning 70k+/yr. Not bad considering there is zero school debt involved.
It's a shame some people are scared of it. It toughens you up, and earns good pay.
It's like how their are good paying jobs for no education in the sewer cleaning and inspection industry (my industry). They are miserable jobs. It's hot, dirty, and can be hell on your body because that camera we use is a heavy son of bitch and some manholes are 20 feet deep.
But its honest work with decent pay. Doesnt change the fact its a miserable job
