Kinda interesting how many pinkbike members are skilled trade/working class. Or at least the people posting here.
I'm a Ford line technician. Certified in everything just waiting on the Senior Master status.

Well, the money's pretty good, don't think i could earn any better if I tried getting out, it's just a difficult job, with flat rate and all.

I'd like to make a move like that at some point down the road. For now I just want some jobs to pop back up, there's not much going on in Canada for construction right now.

It's odd man. It's nice to go home clean and not stinking the house up or covered in cuttings and stuff, but the work and the way people think when designing things is insanely odd

Ah, yeah, not really my type of gig. Although welding structural on high rises would be alright with the right pay
