Is there any truth to people to the people who are saying it's a very in-demand trade that pays great with a low barrier to entry?My shop teacher today fucking went on about how much he reccomends drywall, he says that the money is fantastic and if you can handle the job then it's a ticket to doing alright. The consensus online seems to be same.What do you guys think?

Best drywall story I have was from a job I did for a big country club. Site supervisor was a huge asshole, wouldn’t let anyone park their van for more than 60 seconds to unload it. It was an upstairs 30 room add in hotel villa thing so the club was still in operation and they must have brought this guy in to keep the members happy. But the guy was such a bastard that it had the opposite effect. Once you make a few dozen tradesmen hate you good luck ever getting the job finished or done right. Dude was obsessed with trying to engineer shit on the fly himself so he was trying to tell the drywall guys from El Salvador to make this awkward access for me to finish running linesets. Drywall go barely spoke English and even he was able to communicate to site supervisor that it was just retarded and we can work around each other no access necessary. Well that fucked half the day up so when I’m talking my mile walk to the van where we had to park I see drywall dude in his Chevy s10, tallboy bullfight in lap, window down, lit Marb 27, and the road of the main drag to the country club beside him, filled with chicken bones he had tossed out at lunch, sitting there asleep. Site supervisor guy nearly had some kind of heart attach. Drywallers don’t give a fuck, it’s not a trade for smart people
