There's alot more to plumbing than dealing with shit.
You take my shit comment too literally. Gross shit does not just mean excrament, as per the most politically correct website online; Urban dictionary.
Shit
The Most Functional English Word
Well, it's shit...that's right, shit!
Shit may just be the most functional
word in the English language.
Examples:
You can get shit-faced,
Be shit out of luck,
or have shit for brains.
With a little effort,
you can get your shit together,
Find a place for your shit, Or
be asked to shit or get off the pot.
You can smoke shit,
buy shit,
sell shit,
lose shit,
find shit,
forget shit,
and tell others to eat shit.
……. The list goes on.
Everything to do with plumbing, unless your strictly dealing with new construction is dirty.
Becoming an electrician or plumber has interested me in the past. Probably gonna look into that again.
Electrical is probably the most versatile trade there is, everything from residential to commercial to manufacturing to working up north is available and always will be.

Also 5-20 years is a pretty broad margin for someone to guesstimate something will become "commonplace". Sounds like something some dipshit author who knows nothing pulled out of his ass cause it made him seem smart.
Also the experience of someone who can fix things, goes much farther than cars, it extends too all things mechanical, of which our dependency will only continue to grow.
My point being, don't limit yourself to not doing what you desire to do, because you think there might not be a future in it. The truth is nobody knows what's going to happen tomorrow, let alone try and tell me that trades are useless because in 10 years robots will do everything for us.
No, driverless cars are not exempt from mechanic maintenance. Speaking of mechanical maintenance, although it appears there are a growing percentage of dissatisfied auto mechanics, you can still try to look at things optimistically. Audi mechanics now have robots assist in there repairs/work. Other industries are starting to flirt with the idea as well. Generally speaking, as a mechanic or whatever job you have, you want clientele stuck in the 90's or clientele that are always curious and are constantly interested in updating?
The idea of working in the automotive industry sounds amazing. Went to BCIT's info session on becoming an auto-body guy but after detailed research on the future of driverless cars it is a risk obviously cannot take. You want auto insurance to go up or for it to go down? I prefer it to go down.

What?
Did you just string random words together and hope that it comes together as a coherent thought?
You talk about mechanics & utilization of robots, then throw in some non-sense about clients stuck in the 90's....
Then out of left field you delve into insurance rates, and how you hope they are going to go down...
wtf...
If I try to decipher what you are saying I get something like this: We won't need technicians, because robots will fix the cars, and we won't need body repair people because driverless cars won't get into accidents. Now assuming that your wild hopes and dreams come true (which is so far off that any sane human being will not base their career on). We will still need trades people and technicians to fix and build your robots.
Next you are going to try and tell me that the robots will repair the robots, which repair the cars...
Went to school for the AST program a year ago and came out as a lot boy for a 6 months. Now I'm a lube guy at a different dealership.
It's really slow in the field right now. Maybe it's just the dealerships that I've worked at. I'm only doing this because I don't know what else to do, lol.

Maybe you should slow down a bit. Just re-read my post and just that with internet communication format, yes its not perfect but still a pass. It is coherent. You want references I guess?.. Go search yourself MEME405 if you don't trust me.
No re-read. I'm all for trades growth and development particularly relating to infrastructure. Now I'm starting to doubt this notion.
Considering that driverless cars haven't been perfected yet, let alone hit the market, by the time they become mainstream somebody entering an auto trade now could have had a full career and retired.

U decided against it because driver less cars and robots are taking over? Oww boy...no occuptation is safe then.
I would say auto mechanics are getting the shaft. Cars arent getting fixed as often because reliability is up. Also nothing gets repaired anymore. You're just swaping parts in and out. Best off to specialize in other mechanical trades.
Like I said before. Autobody is a good trade as long as you're dedicated.
That goes with any career. The money will come...just focus on being better than your peers.

That and the fact I would not mind some days to let my car drive me home hands free while I take advantage of my Kuerig? coffee dispenser option of 1000 dollars while I read the paper on the way to work.

My head is starting to hurt from trying to follow this guy's train of thought.
Everything to do with plumbing, unless your strictly dealing with new construction is dirty.
It's a slight exaggeration to suggest everything outside of new builds is dirty; it's really only dirty where you're tying into existing. It's not even tough to do strictly new builds, if you so desire. I rarely work outside of new builds despite being totally open to renos, etc. I think plumbing is a great trade to go into precisely because the slight negative perceptions of it, in comparison to electrical, thin out the competition quite a bit.
Electrical is probably the most versatile trade there is, everything from residential to commercial to manufacturing to working up north is available and always will be.
Imo, I think residential electrician new construction is hard work.
I'm in the Low voltage alarm system and home automation , it's just much easier lugging a cat wire Instead of luggin around loomex , plus programming the system to Integrate all the system together is way cooler than just installing a on/off light switch

If it makes you feel any better, in 30 years I would say driverless cars guaranteed. Robots 'man-ing' technical hands-on jobs is beyond my comprehension. Elon Musk and amongst other powerful people see this as a danger if it ever happens but good to know it has crossed people's minds at the very least.

I never said it was easy, just that it's versatile. There are a lot of different things that require electricians and will continue to require electricians for a very long time. There's nothing wrong with residential alarm systems but that career is very specific, you'd have a harder time transferring that to other industries should you desire to.
Either way I'd take working on new construction over pulling wires for any system in an existing build, I hate doing that stuff albeit I don't all have the tools a pro has.

Like many have said, be prepared to grind it out for a few years as a Auto mechanic. Even after getting your license, you're not guaranteed to be financially stable. I wouldn't go into mechanics for the money. If you do pursue it, specialize in something
I would've became a mechanic but realized that the money wasn't great so went into another field. I am happy to be able to still learn and work on my own car.
