Are the Skilled Trades Really for You?

Are the skilled trades really for you? In this episode, construction foreman Joe Prim shares an honest, no-hype look at what it actually takes to succeed in the skilled trades, drawing on nearly 30 years in the construction industry. This video breaks down the mindset apprentices need, why challenge, testing, and discomfort lead to real growth and confidence, and why there are no shortcuts to competence. It covers accepting correction and criticism without taking offense, leaving your feelings at home, becoming a contributing member of a diverse jobsite team, and how jobsite teasing and hazing function as tests of resilience when kept within proper limits. If you’re an apprentice or considering the trades, this episode offers real-world guidance from someone who is still in the field today.
