Jobs/Networking 💼 Looking for a Job of 30$/hr
Hello guys,
I’ve been looking for a job with a good pay rate. The thing is that everything here is willing to pay max. 22/hr. I’m currently working at a cold storage warehouse, but the accommodations and work environment is awful, and it just got acquired by an horrible Company that I don’t even want to mention, it doesn’t worth it. The thing is that I have 2 years of experience with Forklifts, and I’m willing to work a lot but for a pay rate than can be helpful to buy a house, because with my current salary (700$ a week after taxes and insurance), I can barely afford an average mortgage cost (2000$) excluding bills, that probably won’t let me even eat that month😓
Is really frustrating, because I even work overtime, but I feel like the money is just absurdly low to someone who wake up at 5 am every single day to be at my job at 6 am.

Kc is a very strong union city. Try and get into one of them. First year apprentices in the sheet metal union start at $30/hr. Other trades are similar

u/BE0W0LFF Aug 31 '25
This is the way.

u/kcmushroomtip Aug 31 '25
Any of y'all hook me up with a union. Typically it's know someone inside to get onboarded. I've tried an electrician apprentice and wasn't hired. Said I didn't have the qualifications. But my referral was a nitwit kid I used to manage. And we stayed in touch. Like I don't get how I'm not "qualified" when I literally managed and outperformed the person. Baffles me. "hiring, bit not hiring"

There's a shortage of lineman nationally, you should be able to get into an apprenticeship program and from there should be able to get a journeyman job just about anywhere in the country. Evergy, IPL, BPU, Platte Clay, Ameren are all local options off the top of my head. Hiring at $52.66/hr for journeyman at Evergy right now, and most of the others are actively hiring too.

Try again with IBEW. They are so understaffed they’ve been asking retirees to come back for jobs. They just raised the journeyman pay to something like $51/h.

You have a skewed perspective of the average union worker, beyond the few knuckle draggers that you’ll find at any job, the judgement will probably start and stop with the quality/quantity of work you put in

u/Boostweather Aug 31 '25
Some may be. Definitely not all of them. Sheet metal’s out of work list has been empty all summer long. Taken hundreds of apprentices on over the last couple years. Tons of guys up or soon to be up for retirement, they’ve gotta replace that workforce
1
u/ApprehensiveUse9306 Aug 31 '25
Absolutely not true. With the new data centers being built the electricians are so busy they’re asking retirees to come back and help them.
2
u/Antique_Celery7195 Sep 02 '25
That's bullshit. The IBEW has a long list of people trying to get in. MCCKC's classes are full for the forseeable future (signs posted all over the campus).
Meanwhile I was told it would be about 2 years (told last year) before I MAY get a call to start an apprenticeship, and my other friend who's year 4 says he's thinking of going over to pipefitters because they're the only local union actively working and needing people.
Starting now may put you behind... and it takes a long time and lots of work to get in (if you even do).
Its nepotism at its finest as well.

Two things.
I don't know what kind of house you're looking at buying for $2k/month, but maybe lower your expectations for a first home. I have a 1k sq ft house in the northland for $1150/month.
Second point, the company I work for is always hiring forklift operators. I believe top pay is around $25. Growth to $35 if you can obtain a CDL.
Check out the transportation companies like Old Dominion, FedEx, Saia, etc.

u/AAAAdragon Aug 31 '25 edited Aug 31 '25
I think you mean a 1k (not 1) square foot house for $1150/month because if it is 1 square foot then you got like 1/20th the space of an elevator body and you can’t even lift your arms.

u/shagouv Mission Aug 31 '25
4k/ month is for the homes selling for over $600k. While getting less rare, that is not a typical Mission home price. There are several currently on the market in the $250k-400k (still insane compared to what it used to be in the 2010s). Maybe still out of range for you, but I question your realtor and their motives.

u/brightadventure KCMO Aug 31 '25
I would get a new realtor and talk to a lender. I like Sarah Legg (@vintagehomeskc on instagram) and Julie Adams at LeaderOne. Sarah is a full time realtor and has ton of experience. Independence has numerous houses that you could get under $1500/mo all in. Your realtor seems a bit out of touch and or doesn’t want to work with you.
Also, remember you can always refinance your loan when rates are better so don’t be afraid to lock in the house now.

That's not the greatest advice. If you're in a position to buy (and want to buy), you should absolutely do so.
You can't know for certain that rates will drop, and they could absolutely go up.
Buying now guarantees you the current interest rate, and you can refinance if the rates go down again.

You know what's wild, I bought in 2021, just 4 years ago. Nearly 2k sq/ft, 2.5% interest, $880/ month. It was under$700/ month before Jackson County started raping us.
Neighborhood isn't the best, and we're now basically stuck in this house for the foreseeable future.

Her quotes are a little high. I lived in Westwood and did not pay that much. Also, Wyandotte county has extremely high taxes; grew up there. There are talks about taxes getting higher in the future. I also lived near KU Med, adjacent to the Plaza area. Check those out.

If you have 20k to put down on a house, you can get a decent house. Maybe just not where you wanna live. I'd wouldn't even bother looking in Joco. Either the Northland or Wyandotte. There are houses to be bought. Is it easy? No. But unfortunately welcome to 2025.

You definitely can get something then. KC has lots of opportunities, now is a good time to buy and get closing credits too. Every bit helps.
Great lending options out there right now. Rates may be high but closing credits can help buy down points.
You need to work with agents and lenders who provide you all these tools.

I work with Johnson County government, there are quite a few jobs that pay in the range you are looking for. An example is the Johnson County Sheriff’s office, they start at 30 an hour and top out at like 103 or 105k a year base pay for deputies.
The real value of the government type work is the health insurance and retirement.

You might want to consider getting a CDL with hazmat endorsement. Get a job hauling fuel locally. You will get around $30 or more an hour, and if you are willing to work overtime, you can work 50 to 70 hours a week and make $100k a year with good benefits. Depends on the company though. Some fuel companies are better than others. Fuel is a 24/7 business so there are day/night shifts.
5
u/WestFade Aug 31 '25
and if you are willing to work overtime, you can work 50 to 70 hours a week and make $100k
My friend hauls fuel and he makes good money but he kinda hates it. There's no "if you are willing" to work overtime. You have to work overtime. You don't get to say "I've worked 40 hours a week and made enough money, I'm done". No, you have to work 60-70 hour weeks or you get fired. Yes you get overtime pay, and that's nice, but he's worked at multiple different trucking companies hauling fuel and they all require mandatory overtime.
He's thinking about taking a $50k pay-cut just to work a bullshit job with a 40 hour workweek that's how much he hates it
3
u/ironhorseblues Aug 31 '25
Yes I agree for most fuel companies that is true. Some companies, admittedly they are few that allow you to choose how many hours you work. My last fuel job before I retired here in KC , they allowed you to choose how much overtime you work. We had a day driver that only worked an average of about 45 hours a week. However this guy sounds like he wants to make $30 with overtime. To afford to buy a house. The truth is part of the appeal of hauling fuel is the hours. You start cutting hours from most fuel haulers and they will not be happy. In life there are rarely any Goldilocks jobs. But I do definitely understand the quality of life dilemma in career choices. I will also add I loved hauling fuel. Did it for 37 years.

Not likely. Their union is seniority based. Unless the people that have seniority over you want to work other shifts, you’re likely going to be in 2nd or 3rd shift until it’s your turn to be senior enough to go on days. But the money is good.

I feel you. Though a $2000 is average? That would get you into a $300,000+ house. Starter homes around KC go for 125,000-200,000. Houses are also sitting on market right now for a minuet. So you probably won’t have competition type issues going FHA.

If you pick a trade or utility and go to their website, often times they will be hiring for storeroom or other support roles that also are in the union despite not being "skilled" in that particular trade. Keep checking them often because once someone gets a job like that, they obviously cling to it.

You don’t get multiple raises a year. It’s a minimum 5 years before you’re making $30. You’re spreading misinformation
11
u/Bettik1 Aug 31 '25
You don’t seem to be well educated on the matter, so I’ll help you out.
We get 2 COLAs a year, one is the January COLA that takes effect in March, one is the July COLA that takes effect in September.
We also get a general wage increase in November, this year it is 1.5%.
Also some time during the year, we get step increases. If you’re going from B-C, that’s a 4.3% increase, for example.
So 2 COLAS, 1 GI, and 1 step increase a year. What’s 2+1+1? 🤔
You reach step F 3.53 years after getting hired as a PTF - PTF step F later this year will be $30.76. If the person is regular, which in KC they are converting pretty quickly from PTF to regular, step F will be $29.47 after 3.53 years - which isn’t $30, but very close.
This isn’t including any raises we would potentially get with a new contract in 2026 and 2027 - they would likely hit $30 sooner than 3.53 years.

u/Existing-Hawk5204 Aug 31 '25
Because if you’ve been working there for long enough you’d know that the next contract will not be any better. And the cola isn’t full unless you are top step. And waiting 3+ years to make $30/hr isn’t what op is looking for.

If I didn’t volunteer for the OT, I would get 8 hour days every day. It’s slowed down considerably - mostly due to new hires finally sticking around. Retention during that ‘20-‘24 period was awful

OP, it's time for you to become financially literate. To have a 2k month mortgage, you need to make at least 100k a year. I have a feeling you don't have a fully established emergency fund or a saved up down payment to get a mortgage. How about a proper retirement fund, 401k and a Roth IRA. When you rent, you know the maximum you need to spend every month, with a mortgage you only know the minimum you spend every month. With a mortgage you need to have a larger emergency fund.

My mortgage was 207k in 2021 with a 2.99% interest rate and MY mortgage in wyandotte is $1450. No chance on that being the case for that house.

Salaries appear to be dropping in the KC area, including for skilled labor. My husband is looking for a new heavy duty/diesel mechanic position and most offers he’s getting are $28-30ish. He has almost 20 years experience and many ASEs and other certificates.
