I do IT in my university's library. Cushy as fuck for a student job but I'm surrounded by fags and liberals. >How does Sup Forums get through frustrations like this? I was actually in an extremely similar situation 2 years ago. Had to quit an apprenticeship in a trade I loved at a place with great coworkers. I went back to uni depressed, drank heavily for a while but I'm just recently starting to feel my life moving in the right direction again.
My only advice: Be decisive.

Oh and regarding machining: Look for the smallest shops you can find, try to build some rapport with the owner/manager, and casually slide into job talk.
Jaxon Parker
Trades were worthwhile 50 years ago, nearly shit now. Find something you can work your ass off with or go get a real degree. I'm a warehouse picker too after a whole bunch of shit, I'm going back to uni to finish my ChemE degree

I was in a similar situation, I worked in the construction industry for 5 years after I was 18. But before I was laid off my employer was approached by some government program offering a 50% wage subsidy to hire natives. How's that for frustrating? Now I'm 25 years old, still with my parents, working in a hospital pushing dead bodies for a living.

I'm 26 and I live in my parents' basement. I've never moved out. My parents give me money for stuff because I've only ever held two part time jobs. I have never owned a car and borrow my mom's. I am fat, balding, and 5' 5".
I don't get through my frustration. I get drunk when I can and browse the Internet.
I plan to succeed at nothing. That ship has sailed for me.

Alexander Hughes
I was a successful tradesman until I got a DUI 7 years ago. Since then I went to college, but still can't find work. Can't get back into the trades because of my driving record (which is confusing and infuriating) and can't get into white collar college work because I can't pass a background check (My moral character isn't up to par from 7 years ago) Currently jobless, looking for a Mcjob because they are the only places that will hire me.
Don't get a DUI kids. It will utterly destroy your ability to find work.

I'm a mechanic, running my own small business now after working in the profession for 10 years. I have an apprentice who I brought on with literally zero experience but had initiative and was smart. He makes a very low wage working for me but in another year he will be making a good wage. He works a second job evenings to be able to afford to apprentice. If you have initiative and drive you will succeed.

You must have shitty genes then... leukemia in kids is almost always high voltage power line caused. Other thing to check is to see if your water or land is contaminated.

not a felon. it was a misdemeanor.
Protip: whenever you see "were you convicted of any crime? Conviction of crime will not necessarily bar you from employment" If you mark 'yes' you are immediately barred from employment.

Try to get on with your local public sector government. Even if it's a groundskeeper or janitor.
As long as you don't have a crime directly relating to what you'll do for work, they generally won't care.
A DUI from 7 years shouldn't be much a problem for anything that isn't driving a county/government vehicle all day.

The industry is booming here. Especially in Texas. I just started out as a CNC operator a year ago and am working toward being a machinist.
I love the work and it is the best paying entry level job I've ever worked. I'd tell you to come work in the states but I'd imagine it isn't easy unless you can find a company willing to sponsor you for a work visa. Tons of companies are starving for good experience cnc machinists, though. People aren't going into the trades like they used to.
