Is your country currently experiencing depression?

President loony-toons will save you,leaf
>>73795312
A fucking leaf. Your whole country is depress because of that cuck y'all elected.
Sucks about not being employable though.

God damn Mike Rowe was awesome. Bitchin' singing voice, too.

>Canada
There are so many welding job openings in my area that they don't require school and will train you on the job
>>73795764
Does it pay like 10$ an hour?
>>73795764
this.
I started at 15 for 7$ an hour now i'm 21 making 19.50$ an hour
>>73795764
There are so many welding jobs in Poland and the EU that i have trouble screen them all.
>>73795312
If you are just some gluer with CO welding certificate, then that maybe a problem. But if you are TIG welder for stainless, aluminium and pipe method, and you still can`t find job then problem is in you, buddy.
>>73795312
being great at welding doesn't cure your rampant autism OP, people will never hire you.
>>73795312
I just went and got one today. Had too much free time on my hands even with school. It does help though that I've been dating the company owner's daughter for over 5 years. I'll accept nepotism when it benefits me. Also, for what it's worth, they are kikes
>>73796630
Absolutely haram. It is of utmost importance that you`ll gas yourself.
>>73795312
Start learning chinese, and learn to appreciate the other kind of hotdogs.
>>73795312
I don't know about Canada but my parents are always looking for good welders and they are in high demand here (in case you want to move from one political hellhole to another).
>>73797572
With argon.
I also fell for the electrician meme.
>everybody's hiring like crazy right now!
They are, but not first year apprentices. It's fucking impossible to get to the point where people want you.
>>73795884
Sounds like a great stable job. How bad is the eye damage and is it manageable?
>>73795312
>Everyone laughs at me for not getting a trade or degree early on.
>Save money doing hard but decent work.
>Land a job with Canada Post, career4life.jpg even if the pay is now shit and no benefits.
>Starting a degree now, get 2 days off work for study, still do my job, don't lose seniority.
I mean I wont stay with Canada Post, the pay is shit, benefits suck, and they want to strip more away from us in negotiations right now, but it's a jumping off point to something better. Sorry to hear about your situation OP, I hope it gets better.
>Get hired as a drafter

look for underwater welding jobs, they pay ridiculous amounts of money

>>73800294
>Not programming or maintaining the welding robots
>Literally just got home for an interview to a welding course
>>73795312
It's the exact opposite for me. I can't get into any plant maintenance jobs because they need someone who also can do all sorts of crazy welding.
>"Make sure you get a STEM major anon, that's where the jobs are"

>Now /pol/ tell me that trade school isn't a secure option either
So there's no STEM jobs, and learning a trade isn't a secure option either now?
Christ /pol/, what the fuck am I supposed to do?
>>73801509
The trades worth a damn ARE part of STEM, you nitwit.
>>73795312
A FUCKING LEAF
Nobody in their early 20s can find work at the moment. From my graduating class in chemical engineering only 6 out of 35 students have work related to the degree.
>>73795312
Pretty sure NZ will give you a work visa.
Or maybe learn scuba, become an underwater welder, and make more money than doctors anywhere on Earth.
>>73799909
fuck off drafcunt
>>73801509
Maybe you should start off by assessing the state of your local economy.
>>73795312
There's a ton of welding opportunities in northern BC and maybe Abbotsford, the pays is decent usually 22$-35$ an hour
>>73795312
Move to an oil and gas industry hub.
>>73801909
Ce n'est pas ma faute si les soudeurs n'étudient pas les symboles de soudure. C'est leur métier, pas le mien. Ils devraient le connaître mieux que moi!

Why not do small jobs for family friends? Start your own company?
>>73802503
Born in Montreal, raised on the south shore, yeah. Live in Ontario now, though (Best decision I ever made).
I figured I'd use a proper written French so as to not fuck with your head too much. Our dialect is pretty jarring.
Leave your shitty area and go to an area that requires welders?
If only Canada had an industry which needed welders, pipefitters, machinists and millwrights. If only this area were about to be flush with cash from a variety of things such as a government bail out. If only this area would need a variety of trades and able bodies to work them...Surely such a place exists.
There is no "for sure" paint brush that you can run over a particular field. There is no certainty and the idea of a sure thing is about 3 decades behind us.
>>73795312
what are you talking about I have job offers coming in even before I graduate. either you went to a SHIT school or you need to migrate somewhere that has jobs like wisconsin
>>73799549
if you wear PPE you are not going to get eye damage.
>>73795312
Any kind of trade job is a joke. If your work can be done by a Mexican, enjoy your unemployment
>>73802702
>Why not do small jobs for family friends?
I tried this once with a small computer repair business.
They will take you for granted at every available opportunity, and will constantly use their relationship with you try to underpay you. Or, barter with stupid shit.
Money and blood do not mix.

You will not find a job in the trades really anywhere in Western Canada right now.

I got a job as a prison guard at 23. Starting pay is like 55k a year. Max pay is like 77k. With overtime guys clear 100 easy. Sergeants base pay is like 85k and Leiutenants base is like 95k. No college needed.

Those were government disinfo agents trying to make people think the unemployment disaster of the west was just because people went to college for womens studies.
Nah, the job market sucks for everyone.

Years ago there was a surplus of teachers in California, so no one was going to school for that.
Now they're offering $3,000 to $5,000 bonuses for teachers.
That feel when spent £9000 on NDT courses and couldn't find a job anywhere because the oil price crashed.
A fucking year later find a job at an oil refinery because the manager was ex army and hired me.
>>73795312
you gotta also claim to be a minority of some sort. if your obviously white, claim to be a muslim or tranny or gay or something. if they don't care, accuse them of discriminating you based on your "minority" status.

I'm only replying because I passed my vertical stick v-groove test yesterday.
There are plenty of welding and related jobs in my area, most notably Ingalls Shipbuilding.

go get scuba certified and get underwater welding
Its pretty dangerous according to some people, due to not only marine life engaging u but also due to potential underwater explosions
Im no expert though, but they get paid alot because of the issue
>>73804270
Im into the NDT field as well. After oil price crashed we had a lot offshore.
You picked the wrong trade OP.

I saw the owners of one company I worked for weld a few times.
They'd put the pieces in the fixture, place the rod right up where they needed to weld and would just put their other hand in the way. They were definitely fucking up their eyes with just the light bouncing off the surrounding surfaces.
