Possible apprenticeship at a fabrication shop

admin

One of my friends works at a local fab shop (he's 20), the shop normally doesn't acknowledge people under 18. He's going to try and pull some strings. Should I take the chance if he gets me the job.Using Tapatalk

Reply:Hopefully you will change your avatar Nathan Martin.  In case someone does a search on you to see what a fired up worker-bee you appear to be, you might consider a picture with a more upright position.  BTW: Though they don't realize it, most 20 year olds don't have strings to pull....If he were to be successful getting you hired, his boss would be looking for you to pull a full load and blame him if you didn't.  Risky for him.JerryLast edited by storeman; 08-12-2014 at 08:52 PM.30+ yrs Army Infantry & Field Artillery, 25 yrs agoMiller 350LX Tig Runner TA 210, spool gunLincoln 250/250 IdealArcESAB PCM 500i PlasmaKazoo 30"  vert BSKazoo 9x16 horiz BSClausing 12x24 lathe20T Air Press

Reply:I'm sorry, I was wondering if I should take that job or stay at the dairy Im working on. The pic was taken after work. He  was wondering if I wanted a job there, I would love a welding job instead of milking cows. I would pull a full load I work from 4am-7pm any way Sent from my XT881 using TapatalkUsing Tapatalk

Reply:Good luck on your decision. I didn't see your location, but if there are many dairy farms, tig welding may help too. Usually all the pipelines are stainless so you could go into that to.If return to the Cow Palace is a option, I would definite take it. You may go any milk part time too depending on your hours.
Reply:I have basic stick, mig and oxy-fuel welding skills. There are a lot of dairies where I live, and I would love to learn how to tig Sent from my XT881 using TapatalkUsing Tapatalk

Reply:I just got off the phone with my friend. He said his boss wants to meet me and see my skills, he said I'll get the job regardless. I'm going in Friday Sent from my XT881 using TapatalkUsing Tapatalk
