New career...what would you do?

[tipper]

Well I've reached a point where I need a change (and better money) time to do some upgrading and move on!
I have been driving truck and running machinery for too long and now that i'm mid 30's I really don't want to wait any longer. Thinking pipefitting? Not much for apprenticeship guys out there though...
Anyone else in the same boat?

I would become a Valemount sled bum. Revy sled bum position is already filled. Doesn't look like it pays well but has lots of fringe benefits.

S&M moderator.......

Already tried the sled bum thing years ago lol

Firefighter lots of days off.

Not going to be easy to get into a trade and find work in these times unfortunately unless you have a good 'in' with someone. It seems so many good paying jobs require work away from home. I'd look into instrumentation.

I've been practicing as a full time clown, the pay is the craps, but nothing like being the king of the clown hat !

Times are tuff, so I work for next to nil at having something too do. EI is a waist of time along with waiting for work,,, so I work for food and gas funds too keep me going.

Done this in 1980, 85/86, 07/08 and now for 15/16 year. Sit at home and complain or keep busy working.

Pal Don at what works for me.

Could be a lot of people in the same boat now...

Just a thought................it never hurts to go back to school if one can afford to do so and fit school into ones lifestyle. Trade school, technical institute, and/or university.

Also, there is always a demand for fire fighters and police officers.

Weed dealer. Even in these tough times you won't starve

next job I get will be retirement! This self employment takes a toll on the stress but I guess its better than working for someone else.

I would be a crane operator! I think being up in those high cranes would be awesome! At work I am the guy who always does the sketchy crane work!

Not a ton of Firefighter jobs out there right now. I would look at Calgary Police and RCMP.

I would run away and join the carnival in the summer and hang out in Valemount in the winter.

I think I could make it as an international playboy. After all these years of trolling local hotspots, like Pigeon Lake and Wabamun, I could cruise the beaches of Monaco or Southern Europe.
