I’m 18m graduated high school last May, I was homeschooled ever since 7th grade. During the summers since 2020 I’ve been working for a post frame company. I’ve done framing, roofing, siding, and concrete. I have a strong work ethic gifted from my Dad, I wrench on old trucks, I operate skid steer, telehandler, and scissor lift. Where I’m located in West Central Ohio it is difficult to find good trade jobs without driving hours to Columbus, Dayton, or Cleveland. I’d like to consider this trade and become self employed. Is this a decent idea? I’m wanting to do something different than plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Yes I know most of you guys will say Union Plumber, electrician is the way to go, I’m just trying to find something unique rather than working in crawlspaces and attics. Thank you for reading this. Have a good Fourth of July 🇺🇸 weekend.

I’m 18m, been working for a small post frame building company for about 7 years now during the summers. I’ve done all kinds of work: framing, roofing, siding, concrete, I also wrench on old trucks and tractors. I’m trying to find a new path for my future. Yes, I know, a lot of people are going to ask “Why Non Union?” Well, where I’m located in Ohio there is very little Union companies near me. I would have to drive an hour to Columbus everyday, or even further to Cleveland. Your input is much appreciated.
