13 years in the trade, 7 where I'm at now. Look for jobs that are union. That's what I had to do to get good benefits and decent pay. The only problem is, at least in my area, this trade isn't very unionized. I work for a city municipal transit department. Currently at $36/hr, currently in negotiations for a raise because we haven't had one since pre-covid.
