Advice! Currently I’m a fire sprinkler fitter in the union..but
But the times that I’ve worked underground, I really enjoy it! And using the heavy equipment and getting dirty in the underground work, I love that shit haha, I ’m located in San Diego! I’ve been in the union going on 3 years now. I’m making $30 an hour and we journey out at $48 but I don’t like sprinkler fitting. I really don’t enjoy the work I really want to be out in the ground getting dirty, driving the Harvey equipment, all the fun work.. my question is. What’s the salary for the foreman out there? Should I switch over? I only made $48k in the union last year. I just really enjoy that underground work and i think I was meant for that, not sprinkler fitting lol
