Finally got my welder journeyman card in the mail.


and I decided to go with a dual trade! so lets hear it for a combo welder electrician!! WOOT WOOT

1st year electrician:


My advice to other trades people, dual ticket up! its always worth it.

 

congrats man i got 2 tickets as well

 

good stuff man! what are your trades?

 

welder and diseal mechanic

 

good combo, I am thinking of heading into machining next

 

ya im thining about heading out west again in a couple of years

 

its pretty thin for work... did you not get a whole **** load of work started?? I hear an ore plant and a few offshore rigs?

 

my frinds moms cuz owns a multi million $ oil rig company so im might do that any where in the world she says she can get me if i want

 

well then hook me up. LOL, I got a portable rig.

do they do any work in australia?

 

i think so lol

 

good choice. i have my journeyman machinist. there is so much you can do with it vehicle wise if you have the time or ambition. which i both lack right now. good luck though and if you do go machinist, wait till you learn about grinding wheels and stuff. sooooo boring, but otherwise its all pretty interesting. got any questions, always feel free to pm me.

I used to work in a machine shop so I am already pretty talented, run a lathe and such... I will keep that offer in mind though. LOL.

 

ya but you don't have my talent! lol. today i got to make some custom shifter's for an '09 Shelby.

lol, I never said I was as talented, I jsut have basic skills. lol. but I am one hell of a welder.. LOL

 

why do you keep getting different trades? just to keep your options open or what? ive been thinking of being an apprentice electrician. im getting my degree in engineering right now but im not sure if i want to stick with it.

 

Im an Plastic Injection Molding Setup Technician journyman $35/hr FTMFW

 

because welding is so up in the air right now in Alberta.

 

They dont let us be in 2 unions here. Local 63 Ironworker apprentice!!! 2.5 more years!

 

I'm only in the electrical union till the oil field picks up.. **** i hate the work... lol. I get more trades so I can do as I please.

I wish I could run my truck again...

 

ya thats why i chose not to go into petroleum engineering, it always booms and then crashes.
