@elirichards19: The elevator industry pays extremely well especially if you get into the union. On top of that, they are constantly redesigning & inventing new safety equipment & technology within this industry.. #bluecollar #elevator #elevatormechanic #foryoupage #foryou #fyp #fypシ #hashtag #work #money #chaseyourdreams #takerisks
$70k-86k a year average starting pay is $65k a year, welder really is the best trade 😬
