Ew Evan, Ew! He seems like he's trying so hard to be cool, and just failing.

Carlin said Evan is going to electrician school on the live video. I’m glad he finally seems to be doing work of some kind. But at the same time it makes me think he’s preparing to sustain a marriage and family and stuff and it makes me cringe. I can’t even begin to imagine these two as parents

Isn't Evan the one who has a real job at a hospital or medical office? I'm glad he's continuing hos education. It will be nice for the Bates to have a plumber, an electrician, a Chad, and a pilot in the family. They really are showing the Duggars family up in terms of jobs.

All the Bates family girl are beautiful. Erin looks great.

a Chad

Had to fight laughing out loud when I popped in here at work. "We need a Chad here, stat!"

Ah. Young love. I remember acting like these two when I got my first boyfriend at 19. We’re married now so it worked out for us, but thank Rufus there were no reality tv cameras following us around because I’d honestly die of embarrassment if that had been broadcast nationally.

And you have to admire Evan’s ability to make absolutely everything all about Carlin. It’s a gift. :pb_lol:

(She and Erin do look lovely in that photo though. The Bateses made some gorgeous kids.)

Yes, Evan works at a medical center doing what appears to be reception work.

It is good he's pursuing an actual skill set which will give him a decent income, but I'll reserve comment until he has actually finished it and is working, earning income to potentially support a family for real. Kelton quietly went and became a plumber, and has worked hard for several years now. Evan can't do anything quietly. 
Similar with Carlin getting a "music minstry" degree at Crown, we'll seee........she certainly doesn't appear to have the work ethic of Josie, Alyssa or even Erin sooooooo

Electricians don't earn much and job opportunities are sparse.

(My ex boyfriend was an electrician.)

Are you speaking of licensed electricians in the US?  The median wage is $52,000

As far as we can tell Evan doesn't have any post-high school education, so I would guess that becoming a licensed electrician would give him more earning potential that continuing to be an entry-level hospital receptionist.

There is a shortage of electricians and most trades in the U.S. he will be employable.

Just one article about it:

Yeah, this is actually one of the few smart moves Evan has made. He will easily find a job and have lots of job security. Construction companies are so desperate for skilled, reliable electricians that they are increasing pay, and demand for electricians is projected to grow nearly 15% over the next decade.  I mean, I wish these two dingbats would wait a decade before marrying and having kids, but since we know that isn't going to happen, becoming an electrician to support his family is a good plan.

I know I've said it before, but I'm always surprised that more of these cash strapped young patriarchs don't go into trades. It may be different in other countries, but in the U.S. we are desperate for electricians, roofers, plumbers, and welders. Trade school is not as long as university and is much cheaper. 

I will say, the Bateses have never seemed to think they are above hands on work (looking at you Josh Duggar, Phillipses, Botkins, and Rodriguii), and I have always liked that about them.

Good for Evan that he chooses to learn a trade. It will not only help him to afford the large family he is going to have, but will hopefully also help him to grow up and mature.

Evan poking fun at himself.

Haha! Don't get me wrong, I can't stand Evan but this video legitimately made me laugh. It's not often we see fundies display a sense of humour. It's usually all Jesus Bible Bible Jesus or "wow my kid did the funniest thing!" which really isn't funny at all. Or cringeworthy skits and such.  

Well done Evan, you have gained +1 point for a mildly funny video, now to make up the -9999999 points for your horrendous beliefs...

You know, I’m starting to think they actually aren’t a terrible match. Obnoxious and immature for sure, but they have similar beliefs, they both enjoy music and performing, they both seem to have a decent sense of humor, and they’re both relatively bubbly and happy people. I can see why they each may have been drawn to one another and I do think they could be happy together. 

Now that doesn’t mean I’m in favor of them getting married anytime soon. I think they could really benefit from postponing marriage for a few years, though I doubt they’ll wait that long. I do hope they at least wait until Evan is almost done with whatever electrician educational program he picks.

just a reminder that they are not just immature and bubbly, they're ignorant and disgusting too

I hope they will outgrow this and look back cringing at posing with poor children to get attention, but I have a feeling these two will remain this way.

I agree, right now they seem to be a good match. I'm not sure I could stand being around either of them, though.

I just looked at Evan's IG story and he posted a picture of Carlin's figure with a ring and put "success" over the ring with a heart... I'd be really surprised if they are not engaged yet. I'm sure they are just waiting for the right time to announce it.
