Day In The Life of a Construction Worker
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- I'm currently working construction in Jackson Wyoming.
I work long days - 11 to 13hrs - and have been using that as an excuse to not make & share videos. Making this video is my way of recognizing that and moving forward without it. I had fun making this this video! Enjoy
So disgusted by people’s comments and judgements.
You have NO context of this dude’s work company, his fellow workers, his boss, or his position and time at the company.
He could have told his boss “hey man, I’m doing a little TH-cam video today, that okay by you?”. If he’s been working there for a couple years, that’s a pretty chill request.
So at 4:20, when everyone is eating their frosties, they get shit too?
Last time I checked, buddies giving you shit at a job site is probably the most normal thing to happen. You wouldn’t know that, because you don’t actually working on a fucking job site.
He even says in the video “wow, this day is all sorts of things.” Meaning, even he’s surprised he’s driving around so much.
But nah, keep judging from your cubicles 👍🏻.
I agree. It's so sad to see all this hate...

There are days like this, and then there are those days (in them majority), when u work your @ss off.
' Guess this was one of those days, when the schedule, or the circumstances weren't THAT strict.
Every now and then, we ( people, working on construction sites) have days like that.
It's just how this industry works.
Nice comment ; had to reply.
' Tis good to see a non - hater, expressing concern.
He left out the part where us construction workers slam 6 beers at lunch. Or smoke a joint every break
Shut up pussy this is work for the birds it’s easy
That trash talking amongst the crew at the job site it just a way we say hello and have a good day at work lol couldnt agree with you more my friend
Lmao at all these people bashing this guy because you have to work harder than he does to support your mediocre life. Imagine bragging about how you get up earlier and work longer hours digging holes just to make yourself feel better. Good video dude.
TheBrandonDawson Thanks for the kind words man!
you could make the same money as he is working at McDonald's

I mean you only witnessed 5 minutes of his 12 hour day.. funny how everyone has so much judgement on 0.7% of this mans day

@@lj3507 Ooooooh someone’s still mad I make more then them. It’s okay man I make more money than you without being a slave it’s hilarious
@@lj3507 Weak "man"
This comment section is pathetic. To suggest he didn’t work that day is ridiculous. Just because he had 3-30 second clips documenting his day (the reason you clicked) doesn’t mean he isn’t working
He was running bs errands all day. I'm sorry but if youre able to count down the time left until lunch consistently 2 hours before its due you aren't working lmao. Everyone dislikes the person thats just there to get hours and not actually there to get the job done.
I looked at a few of his vids yesterday, he actually seems like a really nice guy. Been through some shit recently though. He's a very good video editor too. Terrible laborer however, and Jose & his crew know it.
Cry more pussy boi
WyvernX Glad to hear you’ve seen some of my other vids man. Thanks for chiming in
FriendofEddieCoyle dude you hit the nail on the head. Being new means you’re the most expendable. You do the odd and end shit - work for the outside in.
As a fellow construction worker (now working in Remodeling), but spent years in a ditch connecting water and sewer lines, I respect anyone in 2023 doing this type of work. I’m 44 and helped put myself through college with construction work and started building things at 5, when my dad introduced me to a hammer. I have a Bachelors degree, but construction has been my bread and butter most of my life. I’m thankful to physically be capable of doing the work.
Does it pay well in USA
Are you hiring? Do your accept entry level and are willing to train?
This guy looks so goodhearted and so commited to his job. I admire that.
I can't understand how people can disrespect this man. I appreciate your work man
HE AINT DOIN NUN
Cause they never worked a hard job in their lives
I got mad respect for what you do, or what any blue collar/ construction worker, pipeline worker does. I’m terrible with tools, therefore I marvel in amazement of how hard y’all work. Mad Respect.
Thanks man! What type of work do you do?

I’ve worked in roofing for about 3 months, being out in the sun especially in Houston tx, and it’s 100-110f outside is no joke. Respect anyone who pulls it off.
What is the pay like
I spent three weeks on roofs in between welding jobs and it was the most miserable job I've ever had and the worst paying! Pick up a skill and get the fuck out of roofing!
@@connormcquaid7462 where you located ? cz holy fuck not even a mcdonald’s worker gets payed that low
I worked roofing as well for about a year & a half before I left for a better opportunity somewhere else. Not shingle roofs but metal commercial roofs, repairing rusty panels that cause leaks of all kinds, applying certain chemicals to preserve it for 10+ or so years. It was a bitch at first especially after not having worked for about 6 months, first day was 110 degrees with only 2 5 minutes breaks to get off the roof & chill but a good 1 hour lunch. Once I got used to it it was nothing but good times with good people working under the same heat I was. Those were my brothers on & off the roof, looked out for one another but it was the management that made me say "fuck this" & I moved onto something better. Salute to all the real homies that thug it out under the sun.. black, white, Asian or raza, tienen mi respeto. 🤝💯
@@ihat3friday832 a lead where i was at was 30 an hour. Definitely not enough for the work we do. Roofing, remodel, electrical, plumbing,apartment landings,welding etc
Man, a bit sad for all the negative comments. This guy took a few minutes of his day to film it and register some personal thoughts, a few minutes out of one day in a 10 and a half hour shift. Good for you man, never mind the mindless robots. You did it.
2:38 someone said. “Nomás ta parado”😂
Meaning, he was just standing there doing nothing. 😂
😂hell ya
Xtrong TentaXion i caught it too and went back myself to see if I heard that right 😂😂😂
ALV!!!!😂😂😂
He says anda pinche idiota nomas esta parado which means he don't do shit but dick around
Lol I caught that to
construction workers are never appreciated for what they give up and do with their own hands
And i do that for minimal wage cause i have no choice or its working bellow minimal wage during winter
2-4 months left and im permanently leaving that job and never gonna work road construction ever again
We work shitty jobs to buy things we don’t need, to impress people we don’t like. - Tyler Durden
That's deep
I don't do any of that
besides working a "shitty" job. I'm also a construction worker. It's less shitty considering how well compensated you are for the work
@@kurt1s53 construction workers are typically super underpaid and work long hours, but respect to you if it’s working for you
@@JoShsFITNESSnFUN where are they underpaid? I'm payed $42 an hour as a carpenter and yes I do long hours. but when I do overtime I am payed $84 an hour
I could never do what you do. Tremendous respect for the people who keep this world going, whether they are noticed or not.
I can oddly relate to the point of the day where you're literally just counting down the minutes until your lunch break. Respect for what you do, man.
You got the easy job bro . You must be related to the owner , definitely related to the owner
That or the moron on the job site noone wants to work with so they give him the easy job that will keep him gone for huge chunks of time ... I have 2 of them on my site now lol
He has the shit job, he is a goffer. You know go for this or that all day, plus works too much, mining is much much easier for twice the pay.
@B T yea too much running around what a hassle. When I go to work there lucky am there and better not ask me to do shit like that.
@B T am a sparkie so yea God's gift lol
@@yarrabarcreek5708 lmao
You’re an inspiration man. Purely for keeping as positive as you do . I feel ungrateful. Thank you for pulling me up out of my bull crap. Life is precious
Been in construction my whole life and I love it!
U r civil engineer?
Thank you for this video. I’m looking to become a laborer in NYC and I’m grateful to see a little of what you do from your perspective. 🙏🏽
I miss doing construction sometimes. I really loved being outside. It made it easier to have a positive attitude.
not when you have to work with a big crew mix with lazy, greedy, envious workers!
Until its cold,muddy,raining or snowing. Then summer comes and its 35 celcius in the shade. I love working outside.
@@bassrutten9838 I've worked in -20f it's not fun I'm happy its finally spring
I love construction. Sun, rain, or storm, gives a sense of purpose
Dude, I totally resonate with this. I worked for a startup, behind a computer, for two years and I couldn’t do it anymore. Being outside has really helped with my health/mental health. I try to be conscious of how important that is
Jose's right!! dude is just standing around
THE MEXICAN haha this is not real job site if u got so much time to shoot videos on TH-cam!
I know right he's just being the boss's bitch.
bob marley ya I’ve never heard of anything like that happened that’s very unheard of, but you definitely have to have thick skin because some guys just like to fuck with the apprenticeship on purpose
bob marley mexicans talk to other ppl like they would talk to other mexicans its not that their harsh or fucked up its just that their used to talking shit not in a bad way but in a joking manner. In a mexican household we are taught tough love thats why most of us arent pussies. Anyways just dont take shit from mexicans too seriously we dont talk shit cause we want u to die lol just know that different ppl are built different
Cool
Dude that was so dope im a construction TH-camr and u inspired me to show my day in the life. Keep posting, u r still inspiring ppl bro
To all the people who havent done this kind of work dont judge the person until you have done it yourself. Serious respect man ! Aint an easy line a work. I know myself.
I know I’m super late but thank you so much for what you do for this country. No this world
@@GarrettPennington-k3x thanks for leaving a kind comment!
this is a perfect example of how to end up unemployed.
For being on his phone for 5 minutes during his shift? Aren't you doing that right now?
@@ryant114 yea because its never the new guys job or the guy with less experience 🤦♂️ . This guy thought outside the box and gave some insight into a day as a construction labourer. The fact that your comment lacks any sort of Valuable criticism tells me your just salty. Probably because you've worked your entire life to realize you still have next to nothing.
@@ryant114 Somebody has to do it and he's being paid to do it. He wasn't on his phone much as you can see each job he DID only took not even half hour to an hour to do.
Also, most of these crews always has more people than they need. We all see this all the time.
If he really was on his phone that much and sucked that much he wouldn't be there. Also, they don't reserve the errands for people who suck. Maybe he just started ? and they usually have NEW people run errands cuz it got to be done and rather have the less experienced guy go do while the more experienced guy stays and gets work done. They don't pay old people to sit and wait for them to have to run somewhere.
@@internetexpert8153 He even had to add that he worked for 12 years like that's relevant. Trying to act like he never had to do "bitch" work. Bet that dude running around was making more money than him when he's the one doing hard work. Work smarter not harder dummy. LOL.
@@ryant114 yea and im on my private jet full of whores travelling the world.
Great video dude. I’ve just gone back into working as a skilled labourer for a local company after being off work for a long time, I’m getting so much fitter burning over 6,000 cals a day and I sleep better too. It really is good for mental/physical well being.
@@jesuscarrillo8890 🤷🏼♂️ I do I’m 6ft 3
That's why construction workers are able to eat those high calorie foods.
"construction worker............" Bro,you aint even broke a sweat all day.
Lol thinking the same thing ... Bitch get off your phone and vlog your ass shoveling some shit .
@jordan Goldberg 😂😂😂😂😂
Laborers arent construction workers
@@CptDroga How is a Laborer not a construction worker?
Check out the video below framing dope l shaped stairs so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔨😎🔥th-cam.com/video/x9JBeGf_S88/w-d-xo.html
My happiness in construction differed job to job. One they had me and another guy mixing cement, moving the bricks that were just jack hammered; easy stuff like that. The foreman was really cool and everyone was chill. That was actually sad to leave the site when it was finished. The same cannot be said for waterproofing basements, though.
If my foreman saw my phone in my hand at work, he would tear me a new asshole. Especially being an apprentice
EthanB95 haha what a bitch
I am a female landscaping subcontractor and I have much respect for other labor workers. (And yes I do the same work as the guys, it's not easy but I kick ass). You work longer days than I do, but at least you don't have to work in the snow! Snow removal is no fun at all, lol. Loved your video man, I dig your personality.
Thanks for dropping a line! I fortunately get the winter months off and don't have to plow/remove snow. In what state do you work? I'm glad you like the video - I think it came off a little sad....but more positivity to come!
@@TylerSchwab I'm in Colorado. You?
I'd get an extra 45 min of sleep but that's just me.
@Phil Mccrevasse what does carded out mean
@Phil Mccrevasse its called a tradesmen.
That's not true... At 2 years thru my millwright apprenticeship I was a foreman. Once you get your card, you may switch contractors jobs etc. But it doesnt mean you "know enough to be a foreman"
Fr he got up to scribble un a notebook like wtf lol
Facts
I’m seeing everyone talk about how many people are judging him but I’m seeing nobody judge him lol.
I subscribed because of this video, pretty much explained everything my girlfriend needed to know with what most of us construction worker going thru. Love the part that you had your personal time and the part that you looked for something in the trailer, I can soooo relate.
Funny thing is he hasn’t realized that the reason he’s changing crews is cause the guys he just bought frosties for were sick of seeing him take a cut of their job
i’m a union laborer and i thought i didn’t work that much... 😅 but after seeing this dudes work day i’m an outstanding employee who works way to hard 🤣
Cloud Of Loud hey hi me too where’s are raise
Haha! Glad I could give you some insight haha!
😂
Local 22 boston ma here shout out to all the union laborers !
@@joshv1143 local 1309 long beach California
Yeah I don’t really miss the days of go look in that trailer over there for that tool that ain’t there 😂😂😂
Where’s the part where you rail a fat line of coke? Did you skip that part while editing?
I couldn’t find context for it really. I needed to keep the video length down. You know, stuff like that.
Lol that was always a necessity on my old site 😂
Johnny Kwallz when I was 15 I worked for a roofing company, my foreman would stop every hour on the hour to do “some” blow and it never ended 😂😂
He’s not a electrician
That carried me on.
Why does this job look like a dream, you just get to to work with buddies and you get a free workout.
damn super negative comments, looks like another day working in the construction field even as painters some days are filled running around doing shit. cmon guys atleast he spent his extra time at work doing something productive. i think people are just jealous or want to make themselves sound like they work so hard lol.
Yep... I worked construction for 6 months and I was an awsome worker if I can say so myself. Apparently I came off as “muy arrogante” when I didnt see the point of ALWAYS busting your ass - uhm no... whoever told you that must’ve been a shit boss so you have to be like one as well and repeat the cycle. Like, you had 40+ y/o dudes acting like they’ve been through this, this, and that, trying to pass down their dumbass “wisdom” just to feel accomplished. Like dude, you don’t own the company? You’re employed by the company w/ the same position as me and I’m 21. Wth did you do w/ the rest of your life?
@@edward6749 6 months is nothing. I'm glad you know you'll be a success. Unfortunately, for a lot of guys, including me, construction is all they know... after reading your comment, I can assure you, you did come off as arrogant, I bet you weren't nearly as good as you think you were. Thinking you're great, after working 6 months. That's not only arrogant, it's also extremely delusional. Good luck with your life. I sincerely hope you are as smart as you think you are.
C Levy Idk, the fact that most people who work with me including my managers as well, call me a good worker is good enough. Maybe I failed to mention but during those 6 months I was also doing school as well. And I’m fixing to finish come December. Never once said I’ll be a success, but you’re proving my point. Apparently I’m “delusional” cause I just stated what everybody else says about me in person? You say 6 months isn’t enough time, but yet what else is their to do in construction besides doing your work, showing up on time, and taking the initiative when coworkers are a no-show? Guarantee you’d love me as a worker. And as for you ONLY knowing construction then that’s your problem. You’ve obviously haven’t tried new things or give up on the thought of trying something new. Hard work isn’t only construction. Hard work is also found in the hospitals, the classrooms, restaurants, military, etc.
Why is the answer to negativity "theyre just jealous" or "theyre all haters".
@@edward6749 you make good points. I'll concede to the fact construction is all I know. Having said that, jumping careers, financially, is not in my best interest. I will leave you with this.. if people find you arrogant, you're probably arrogant. Generally speaking, arrogant people are disliked.
plot twist: He's The Boss...
Looks like you spent the majority of the day behind the camera
Lol!
Lol, that's why his crew traded him.
Yeah, all 5.5 minuets of his 11 hour shift....
same shiet I was thinking
4 min out of 11 hours equals...??? Wait do you know math?
I think people are bashing this dude because it's just how it is in this line of work. People always talking shit, swearing, and attitude is on the regular. But you know what, it's also unprofessional to be on your phone recording on a job site when your brothers are in the back working, bad reputation for yourself and dispresct to the rest. Running errands and not even finding the tape makes it even worse lol
Everybody is hating so much but I would like to see your daily job also. What do you do? You get ready and go to a company job stacking boxes? Folding papers? Frying meat? Everybody has to do different things for this world to work otherwise we’d all be doctors and live under trees
I can relate to that over thinking it really tears my plans apart then I find myself overwhelmed doing nothing but thinking and wishing I did it instead of thinking...
They sent him for the sewer tape in the shed and they knew it was in the truck he driving the whole time
this ^^^^^
I used to do that to the inexperienced guys, I had a crew of three to four guys trying to jumpstart a concrete saw once. And the old tighten the hook on the crane.
Probably the funniest youtube comment ive seen in years!! so good. Thanks for that wee nugget of fun
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Alex 661 A great one is sending the new young apprentice to the builders yard for sky hooks.
Bro when u said you couldn’t find the tape I laugh my ass off cause it’s always right there after you let your supervisor know there’s none left
2021 - this video is still giving value . I am a musician- contemplating joining the union of some kind . Have no clue at all what it would or will be like . Your video is GOLD. I feel so much more informed. Thank you
If you're still considering, keep in mind that your life will vary tremendously depending on what trade you do and what industry you work in. Our on-site electricians and plumbers work 9-5, while other places can have you pulling loads of overtime (and the associated extra money too).
Thanks for sharing what your day is like in your field. Never mind the trolls, everyone in the trades has there own unique experiences when it comes to the job. Those that complain about others standing around are usually the biggest offenders themselves. You'll get no hate from me, much appreciated.
this is a hypocritical comment. you don't know what construction work is like and you're being fed a false idea of what it's actually like. rewatch the video except this time look at the people in the background actually working. I've been in this environment and I would be pissed watching this kid filming a selfie video while I'm digging a hole. any young people watching this who want to get into construction prepare to be surprised.
Lmaoooooooo the guy was like you’re just standing there 😂😂
I started construction last year when I was 16 and I watched this video before hand and I was like oh it’s not that bad but then you I realized you forgot to mention the part where you’re miserable
Did u need experience when u started?
haha girls don’t like little boys that work at grocery stores keep it up fellow blue collar!👍
Lil Shade no, you just need the will to work.
@@derekpescio3037 girls don’t like guys who resort to construction cuz they couldn’t get a higher education
@@deamonkiller2852 some of the smartest people are in the construction field. you’d
be surprised.
Don’t miss construction one bit, even tho I was an actual tradesmen (electrician). Don’t miss those hours, don’t miss the weather, don’t miss the 30 min lunch, don’t miss my sore knees and permanent scabs on my shins, and don’t miss the minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius working outside 40 feet in the air. I like my office, temperature controlled, paid vacations, and higher salary much better. It was a good learning experience though, I recommend every young man atleast try one trade in their early working years!
I’ve been in the plumbers union for 6 years and wanna get out I’m 27 now….. how did you get out? I kinda think about it but have no idea what I could do I never had a non physical job in my life. Def would wanna a job not killing my self but not sure how I can find one that pays as well
I think its cool that he lives on site. Its smart and it allows him a bit more freedom to ponder his future. Good man.
Love the video! I'd love to see more construction videos
Thank you! I just reached my expected lay off date for the season, so I'll be putting the construction videos on hold for now - maybe when I go back in the spring I'll pick them back up. For now though, Rock Climbing!
If you enjoyed this, you may enjoy my channel so id really appreciate it if you could check me out.
that lunch part for like every trade guy is so true lol nothing beats lunch time xD
Not for me lol I usually work through it because as soon as I'm done with my work, I can just dip. I usually only have like 4-6 hour days and still get a fat check
@@ilivelifeso1 I mean a 4 - 6 hour day is significantly less than the 8 - 12 hour day's I typically work and a lot of people do in trades... I'd end up killing someone on my crew if I skipped lunch everyday sometimes ya need to but otherwise fuck that I'm taking my breaks especially since my company pays for lunches
Fastest 30-45 minutes of the day lol
Jose said in Spanish “ that guy jus standing “ 😂
Comprehensive and realistic. Good shit!
My son want to work in construction, thank you for this amazing look into the life
Love the blokes bragging about how hard they work... congrats, you do twice as much work for the same shit money, well done 😂
I know right i was thinking of applying to some construction jobs having to find out
"the majority" get paid the same amount as fast food ,restaurant and retail workers
Not anymore fuck that
Who says its shit money?
And haven't you heard of a thing called pride?
You sound like a little bitch, probably because you are.
Medicine Man “shit money”? Idk about wherever in the United Fuckdom you live at how much construction workers make but here in the US a construction worker or trades person is making 60k plus a year. Someone experienced with specific skills can make well over 100k a year and I would not call that “shit money”
Cicada 3302 you have never heard about MOVING UP?
Lmao, my thoughts exactly.
I did labouring to bricklayers in Ireland for years. It was constant carrying blocks and bricks and shovelling mortar. wasnt a free minute in the day
I respect the grid man
pretty dramatic start. thought you were preparing for actual work
Same thought I had.
He could at least take a shower
Gillette Cool Wave Body Wash he did , did u even watch bud
@@Wyttt95 When did he shower? I just see him get up and get dressed
I love water why the fuck would you shower to go to a construction job you shower when you get home
Why people hating lmao he probably moved up in the company! My uncle makes 15k MONTH now in construction and all he does is do what this dude does! Just helps with small things. He is from Mexico doesn’t even have papers lol But he was worked for them for a about 6+ years
Hey yo, im here and i really appreciate your effort, for making this video, love your drive for making this video ❤
If you count down for lunch your gonna have a brutal career.
Have you ever worked?
I’m sorry but that’s a stupid comment
I'm a carpenter myself, and when I was a young apprentice the hardest days work I did was labouring for 3 plasters rendering a house. Mixing , hauling buckets up scaffolding. Will never forget it!

How did you get in? Its hard to get in with no experience
It’s definitely this guys first week, the real hard workers don’t think about making a video
Hey, at least you've got your health. Here are some tips to make your life easier: Go to Walmart and buy a cheap bike, and a good U-bar bike lock (and keep your bike in your bedroom as it will get stolen out there if you leave it outside). Go bike riding around your area instead of paying for an expensive gym membership. In one year that bike pays for itself, and after that, you have a new hobby to enjoy life with = bike riding around and looking at the world. If there is a public library in your area, go for a bike ride there, stop in at the library to look at a book for 15 minutes, or to use the toilet there, and then bike ride back. That's what I do and just that one thing (bike riding) brings a whole bunch more joy into my life.
I did construction work once...... hated it never doing it again
Come pull concrete with me over here in San Antonio Texas. You wouldn't last an hour as a real labor. You're more of a driver over there.
Fuck yea I was gonna say the same but no point lol. Concrete all day everyday. 13 years now for me
your spot on, or if he came to work on a roofing crew, he'd be gone by lunch time
but concrete work isn’t really that hard. labor intensive? it can be at times. but setting forms, raking base and tamping it isn’t that hard. raking mud isn’t hard, especially once you get an eye for grade. I cut my teeth as a concrete laborer, now i’m a finisher. it’s not THAT difficult.
@@foreignbeggar3783 yeah I'm a concrete Foreman and to me it's all the same. I still shovel and run with them all even though they're all 10 or 15 years older than me. It also depends on the rate of production that the company wants.
You Americans don’t know a thing about working hard🤣 your all fat and lazy come over to England and you’ll see real hard work 4 in the morning till 8 or 9 at night you Americans wouldn’t last a day
As a construction worker wake up 4:30 leave at 5:30 start work at 6:30. You're an amateur👍
Dam booger balls why so far?
Yea booger balls I hear you there I also want to leave my state but it’s union job that kind of keeps me here. Good luck to you
Yup. 4:30 work at 7:00 1/2 hour break. Sore muscles at end of day.
@@craiglittleworm5003 good job brother keep it up, it gets easier👍
@Booger Balls Good man💪 should be proud of yourself brother keep it up👍
The whole virus thing has lead me here. My school recently let seniors automatically graduate so I have 5 months till college. My dad owns an electrical contracting company, and I’m getting a job there. I’ve never been more nervous. Thanks for posting this
How's the job going?
I dont do what this guy does but I respect what every person does that contributes to building (construction ). Every trade does their part, and without one trade, your buildings that you shop in, receive healthcare in, live in, curse the owner in, workout in, do recreational activities etc...wouldn't exist. I would like to mention, that if you do not want to go to college or cannot afford it, then you should apply yourself to a trade in construction. Get with a company that offers an apprenticeship opportunity. You.can choose a trade that has a top.heavy brawn versus having to use your brain as much. Or you.can get into a trade that requires more smarts with less use of your brawn. There are also trades that require you to be able to use both.
To have a company pay for your schooling while you work is amazing. The best part is, you can quit at will (they may penalize you, as they are paying for your education in exchange for production.) and do something else. You'll also be exposed to.all of the other trades on the job which may spark interest outside of what you are doing. For instance, I started in the field doing duct work for a mechanical company and now work in the Elevator trade. Apprenticeships are where it is at. If you go to and pay for college, don't be the cut that takes BS classes and lands a job at Starbucks. Go big. But the work ethic these days is garbage and is dying. It isnt that hard to shine. Think about that and apply yourself. There are loads of opportunities out there and construction has many options and career opportunities to choose from. Good luck
Man fuck all these people saying you could be doing more work and you should be fired, thank you for putting in the effort to show us what your days look like
5:15 and you have an hour to get ready for work. I hate living in Modesto and driving to San Jose I have to wake up at 3:45 a.m. in order to make it work by 7:30
Wish my job was this easy lol
Get a job that’s easy then. 🤦🏾♂️
Lmao it’s a 5 mint video, not a 12 hr video 😂
That extra time to yourself in the morning is meant to be sleeping lol
To everyone saying “he’s not even working” “quit standing around” shut up. He takes his phone out for like 10 seconds here and there to take quick clips of the day. we didn’t see any clips of him doing physical labor cuz he wouldn’t have his phone out recording it lol. Y’all need to leave the dude alone he’s tryna have at least a little fun while working 13 hour shifts
Fuck!!! Man I work circles around you and your whole crew. I do industrial electrical, y'all got that gravy train going. Eating frostys?!?! OFF YA ASS, ON YA FEET!! OUT THE SHADE, IN THE HEAT!!!
But your attitude is perfect, you're motivated and willing work. Which is more than most. Good on you brother.
Your "laborer " job is easy.
It was a pretty cush day
Tyler Schwab how do you feel about all these comments
Brye Burgess Outdoorsman Bunch of keyboard warriors, nothing else to see really. They complain about him not working when he only had about 4 minutes of recording during the entire day.
JuanCarlos Herrera dude i carried two 5 gallon buckets of pea gravel in each arm and mixed 20 bags of 90lb Portland by hand , with a hoe and a wheel barrow .....I was 18 and made 6$ an hour ......you’d be fired
@@nadronnocojr dam I been there I felt like I was taking advantage of when I was young for how productive I was and shit pay those days are gone but I still bust my ass lol just make more than triple from where I started
How did you not get your phone slapped out of your hand?
Jim Deress he doesn’t have a shit job
You’re adorable! This was a great perspective of an average job site labourer’s average day. Great for the old fogeys and youngsters to get a real glimpse of construction sites. Thank you for sharing, I will share too.
To many people talking shit just leave the guy alone seems like a good dude.
Teacher showed us this video and at the end said, SO YA BETTER GO TO COLLEGE
Fuck that shit.
As the son of a construction worker, this is actually what it's like, I've helped my dad break down unstable building and such and tbh that's not the part you want to see its boring as hell, why hate on anything like this it doesn't matter but what do I know
Hes that guy that watches everybody work all day
Trench was more than 5 ft deep no protection! Don't trust shoring
Nice video bro, yall laborers on site are the real mvps! - Carpenter
Cool man , youare living on site , at the shop . You got a Shower , a small room , a computer ! And FOOD !
To all those who judge, I would like to see them one winter day climbing a scaffolding in the cold, building the flats that others enjoy, earning a living in the most honest way that exists.
Don't judge this work while you're sitting flat-assed at your computers.
What a dream to wake up that late
Really cool video! I am a construction 'worker' as well, from Sweden! Right now I am just studying, though. But it is really cool that we do similar stuff, it is so nice to be outside every single day (yes, even during the hellish winters). One day I would love to work in another country. Thank you, Tyler, for the amazing video. PS: I subscribed.
If you enjoyed this, you may enjoy my channel so id really appreciate it if you could check me out.
Interesting to see how a Labourer works across the pond. I'm lucky that I can get up at 7am and start work at 8am as it is only a 2 mile drive (after I'm collected). In the UK we call a "crew" a gang. I'm only on small projects though. All the best to you and admire that you're using your spare time wisely. Peace - From Cornwall
Thanks for dropping a line James! Construction has its various forms, and this is just mine at the time
Lol I work from 5am to 7pm no lunch or breaks 6 days a week. This guy had so much free time with no working.
You might want to find a different job
I'm pretty sure you're in a children's sweatshop. Your company sucks ass!! I work 12s, we 9 am(15 minutes) 12(30 minutes) and 3pm(15 minutes) and leave a couple hours later. I'm guessing they don't pay y'all either?
That is actually illegal. An employer can only work their people so many hours with out special overtime costs and breaks. I either call bullshit, you don't mind, or call department of labor. I have many family members in construction/landscaping. If you don't believe me, look it up!
I died laughing at the frosties part lmfao!!!!!
You didnt even accomplish anything. You're an intern that runs errands and keeps the handle of the shovel warm.
At least he's working and making money. Can't knock the guy down for that.
mate it's like watertruck you can't see the results but without you can't do shit.
sure the digger can get out every 20 minutes or you can get old mate to do his shovel warming as you see it.
people seem to forget value of a good groundy.
@@mattisthegimp True.
@@asdasd-ni8eg Yea, you'd hate to grab a cold handled shovel or no one to bring me icecream during working hours... I should hire this guy...
Ridenorthwest lmao 😆
guys, take it easy on him..... and someone please get him a starbucks application
lol whats your #
What number? Phone?
@@jennbraemer1 yeah
Thanks for this amazing resource, I really liked the part of the video where you describe how much you look forward to your lunch break.
I love your editing style! The time stamps and short clips really pack in your long work day. Keep it up brother.
My experience of construction work:
1. Go to work in the dark
2. Fast paced, no nonsense work all day
3. No sense of humour on ANY site
4. Constantly fatigued or injured in some way but work still has to get done
5. 15 minute break IF YOU’RE LUCKY
6. Go home in the dark
.....and repeat
Same, man's gotta eat.
First Last sounds like hell !!!
@Brandon Taylor the right school an the right education. Trade school can pay big money. Or college to study lesbian interpretive dance......haha, good luck.
@@devinpeirce7152 go to school in the dark, go home in the dark.
You should have fixed your past when it comes to school there is no point moaning that's how it is
Perfect example of that one dude that just drives back and forth avoiding actually working.
He works 11 hours a day
