Wow nice pay. I'm also guessing a lot of years of schooling for that.

on the job training for the most part. i think that you can do a 2 year tech school thing for it.

if you like computers andshit like that maybe check out learning how to use primavera. Construction schedulers make a shit load of money too.

Hmmm this intrigues me. I wonder if it's different training in Canada vs the US though. Have to check into this stuff.

Thanks Jake.

I hate looking for work.

Only ever had to do it once in my life when I was 18, so not enjoying it either. I stuill have work but definitely looking at moving on.

Looking thru all the job opportunities for trades right now, I'm really kicking myself in the ass for not having done this 20 years ago.

One thing I learned long ago. No matter what job you have and how much you love it. Always check the employment websites and such. You never know when things will change.

Yup, guilty as charged of being complacent (sp?)

I don't mind being someone's bitch for a year to get into a trade, just have to find the right opportunity.

I think Gearwhore is hiring for an office bitch as we speak.

Gah!! Hey there's nothing wrong with being the bitch for a hard working tradesperson - but for a realtor?!?!?!?

Heat…I don't know much about trades and resumes, but I have seen a lot of really poor resumes. Maybe it was just Whistler, but I definitely recommend spending enough time making yours good, because a lot of them out there really suck.

Since you haven't looked for work in a while, it'll take longer than you think to get it all set up. And don't use coloured paper.
