Since people are working longer it's better to be a at a desk. A lot of people in the trades are already burnt out and in pain by 50.

Plumbing Apprentice job - Spolidoro and Sons Plumbing & Heating - Billerica, MA | Indeed.com

3-5 years of experience for an apprenticeship. So much for the "advice" andywire gives out. Go back to the drawing board.

You go back. Oh wait. You're there, just digging away for excuses.

BFD. You found two "examples" to support your failure. Put the same effort and time into finding options that you do into bitching and griping on the Internet, package that with a serious attitude adjustment and you might find a different outcome.

Until then, you will continue to prove yourself right and fail over and over and over.

Here's one to start with. IBEW is everywhere - most likely, you'll just come up with another excuse.

You cherry pick jobs that "support" your claims.

Here's 2 more jobs that don't need experience:

https://oak-electric-inc.hiringthing...ectrician?s=in

https://jobs-freightinc.icims.com/jo...isn=Indeed.com

Good luck ever getting a job. You mad you unemployed? Not my problem.

Debunked how? By proving that you have zero experience options?

Like I said. Keep digging for excuses.

The plumbing one in Billerica is the same one I posted. It says 3-5 years of experience. Go BACK to the drawing board.
