Making $100K A Year As An Electrician In NYC | On The Job

I canβt work overseas. Not everyone wants to work in the United States. Pretty useless to go into a career that will not help me once I leave the United States.
shes amazing , a lot of discipline.
Great episode! ππ½π₯
Keep shining queen. lets get that paper. No shade to men but us female electrician rock. Shout out to all my women electricians i love you men also I wouldn't have this career without youβ€ππΎβ€ππΎβ€πͺπΎπͺπΎ
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
This video so motivational thanks for this
Well done vernica…π..
Everyone needs to remember that the income is relative to the cost of living in the area. I know 50+ electricians and have worked in the field for 5+ years and nobody makes over 55k. She makes 100k because she lives in NY, not because electricians make a lot of money.
Keep it up, beautiful!!
I wish I had gone down the road to become a master electrician out of high school. I spent 9 years becoming a pharmacist and I'd trade it in a heartbeat.
Go V!
Is this video honest? I want to be an electrician but I havenΒ΄t decided which local I should go to and NYC seems to expensive even for an unionized Journeyman.
Being a minority today you get all the privilege. You can write your own paycheck in the job profession.
This could be me in a few years!!!

Finally a real person one can relate to instead of those millennial work-at-home astronauts making 1 million dollars per hour surfing the net and posing for instagram.
Iβm an apprentice in Utah 7 months in and Iβm making 20. By the end of of 2022 Iβll be making 23! Trade is not a bad job!
I love her story. I love seeing her get emotional talking about her first daughter. This woman got her GED but makes more than probably most people who graduated with a Bachelor's. Going to college is not the only way. I wish i had been told this growing up
I love her , she is amazing
someone explain me how you earn so much, over here in the netherlands youre having a good job if you make like 2000 a month…
Iβve never worked in a local in a big city like LU3, but it can be tough work tooβ¦just mentioning that bc she said she was going home sore and was doing tough work as a laborer lol
Still, glad to see the younger generations like myself out there getting it
I'm proud of you too Vernica!
Tough upbringing thatβs not playing the victim card. Sheβs killing it. Sheβll be making 150k before long.
God Bless the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
100k is nothing in nyc lol.
100k in NYC means your living hand to mouth.
I always wanted to be an electrician because I've always had aspirations to join the fight to make affordable housing for sale.
this is why I laugh whenever someone tells me college is a necessity. Find something you love, work hard, and itll work out.
I like how she doesnβt do overtime to make time for her children.
100k is also just her wage. She should have talked about the benefits package as well. Medical, annuity, pension, vacation checks etc⦠hands down the best part about being in a union trade. Total package she probably make 150k plus
That was a awesome video, congrats on success & being happy, that makes me happy
good for her
what a beautiful lady! She is inspirational
What a hard-working womanπ
Working in the trade as a union electrician if you ain't working overtime or weekends, good luck on sticking around at companies.
Her accent is dope lol
john 3:7- Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
john 3:3-Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
john 3:16-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
