FALLING FOR THE APPRENTICESHIP MEME HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

OF ALL THE MEMES TO FALL FOR HAHAHAHAHA

RIP

stop it boner we talked about this

crane operation

Fuck unions, go freelance. Accept cash only (with a note that states that the money was a gift to you, the IRS pirates really hate that).

You don't HAVE to do a union apprenticeship to eventually get in. You can do non-union work to get experience.

That may or may not be easy to find depending on the trade you want though.

Merit shop buddy. Fuck the union

the unions literally have all the good jobs by the balls here. all the companies hire THROUGH the unions

that sucks but there's always non-union work if you don't mind shit conditions. The pay's not neccesarily much worse either, just no goodies like sick leave or medical

I work as more or a less a carpenter's apprentice and make $18/hr, but we work long hours often without breaks and do dangerous shit sometimes. Hopefully after a couple more years I can get into the union and get dem sweet benefits

is this for pipefiting? I applied, got the same letter but didnt wait and became a trucker. One year later i got the acceptance letter and just ignored it, lol!

Union apprentice here. Sucks to be you faggot. 756 rules bitch!

Any electricians in here? Just applied for an apprenticeship position through IBEW. No tuition and I get paid 17/HR plus regular raises to attend class and work. It's also benefited. Anyone here in IBEW?

Apprenticeships work in this country mate.

You don't join a FUCKING union you imbecile. How the fuck would you not know to not joins union if you're posting here? Jesus Christ.

>union apprenticeship

And you wonder why nepotism is your only path forward. Seriously don't go for trade unions in the states, shits corrupt as fuck.

fucking nigger, youre menna do plumbing or sparky or mechanic. Just get forklift license.

>yoursouthernbelle

:)

I don't speak bong

Join the army and get the training there. That's what I did. Trained welder and electrician whilst being a Challenger driver. Being deployed to Eastern Europe next week.

I've already been in the military, I'm 26 now and I'd never go back to that shit

>>apply for union apprenticeship
hahaha dumbass
unions are for fucking cucks
if you pick an employer that isn't a slimy kyke you won't have to pay democrat mobsters to twist your bosses arm to give you paid vacation

>an employer that isn't a slimy kyke
doesn't exist

what's your age?

>Eastern Europe


I have bad news user...

THICK

Source?

this is the dumbest possible way to try and hide income I can think of.

Sauce?

You gotta know somebody.
That is how I got in ASAP, learn how unions work faggot.

I'm probably going to head to my IBEW offices when i'm out of school. Can't find work with anyone so the Union is my best bet. 14x12hr shifts here I come... hopefully

what trade?

With attitudes like this no fucking wonder lad. What role were you in? and why the fuck did you not learn a trade?

I'm 25 and joined at 16 at AFC(Army Foundation College) Harrogate for the RAC and became a crewman for a Challenger 2. It's been real good to me. I guess the service isn't for everyone.

here

Trying to get into 146 as a welder.

750 hours and a bunch of job reports is what I need. Too bad hardly any jobs open up for permits.

Started my apprenticeship 2 weeks ago, currently on smoko. Hypey

>the "trades"
>he learned how to be a crane operator, and not get a heavy vehicle license

op why did you pick something so niche?

I'm about to get in the sparky apprenticeship. Long process and testing but almost finally there. I got my 1500+ hours of experience working stockman for some of the top players in the industry and their letter of recommendation/

Oops fat four and twenty pie fingers

Only go into trades if you have family or friends connection to get you an apprenticeship

>2017
>not becoming an Electrical/Electronic Engineer

how fucking retarded can you even be

>crane operator
>trade
lol get the fuck out you fat piece of shit. Go to real school you donut munching cunt.

>>apply for union apprenticeship
>>won't hear anything until fucking JULY 2017
>>out of thousands of applicants they only accept 50 students per year


I am a union member. Let me put it to you simply.

Glad you applied

>Wont hear anything...

Because there is a state level mandate on classroom schooling. "Recruits" start school in our union Late August. If you applied prior to the summer recess, you may have had your App reviewed. If you just put in your app, you will not be able to get in as the school part has already started.

>Only 50 students/year:

Yep. They can only have so many students per classroom AND they want them to be the best and brightest. If you are part of that low % of applicants, they will contact you.

>Liberal arts majors

They don't make half of what I make in the same time. However, liberal arts majors aren't climbing around in dark and scary asbestos laden power plants dressed in full body suits. They don't run the risk of getting "crapped up" and having to sleep over at the power plant for a few days while the radiation exposure fades.

Non-union apprenticeships in our state require that you get your time with one contractor. If you are laid off/fired or the company gets rid of you, the time you spent is wasted. IT will not carry over. They also pay quite a bit less for journeymen....1/2 to 1/3 less. I make more than a comparable non-union (i.e. RAT) foreman, and I am just a basic drone worker.

We pay our own benefits, and aren't required to pay into Obongocare.

There are pros and cons of Union membership. There are pros and cons of working for a rat contractor. My opinion: Union membership is much better. Better pay, better benefits and better training. I am not a single-trade specialist. I am in the "Pipe trades". I am certified to work with many types of metal (copper medical gas/carbon steel/Stainless steel/chrome etc) and all of them have very specific training.

mad?

>lol get the fuck out you fat piece of shit. Go to real school you donut munching cunt.
The career of operating a crane cannot be outsourced. The training for a crane pays an absurd amount per hour....more than what most "real school" kids get. A crane operator in our state makes more than most surgeons. Why? Because operating a crane is a very very demanding career. Lives literally are at risk every time a crane is operating. People die every year from crane accidents. That is a HUGE part of the mental health of the operators. Better yet is that it is stressful, but unlike pilots, don't think that you can just drink booze smoke pot and take pills to calm the nerves. If ANYTHING goes wrong even minor, they will drug test you, and not just a simple 2" open cup test. They will take you to a hospital and take some blood.....and you better hope you are clean because if you aren't you could be on your way to jail depending on the severity of the "accident". The operating engineers are very professional, and very much in demand. They are top tier people for a very good reason.

nah, stay fat burgerstain

ya there's your problem you little shitstain

>applies for job ins the trades
>sits on ass waiting to be accepted
>doesn't go find a labour job or a helper job in chosen trade
>shit posts about it on Sup Forums
>doesnt take initiative to immerse self in trade before its handed to him
>being this fucking stupid

I know don't remind me. 8000 Baltic troops with 5000 NATO reinforcements(including me) and 9000 Baltic reserves vs 430k Russians to the east and another 40,000 to the south west at Kalinigrad alongside 90+ Naval ships within 3 days sailing is not a nice situation to be in. should it kick off. That's not counting the other Russian military groups or their reserve and paramilitary forces which add to around 2.3mn men and women as of 2016. The Russians aren't Jihadi's with 1950's gear and $25 IED's.
I'm literally the spearhead of any offensive/defensive action so first to get hit.

One wrong move by NATO in Syria or along the European borders and we're full blown conflict. The irony is my paternal grandfather was a Panzer driver then commander from 1937-1945 starting with a Panzer II and getting to a Panzer IV(and for just 3 weeks a Panther) and faced the Russians many times including Kursk. Now 70+ years later. His youngest grandson might be doing the same soon at a time when European nationalism hasn't been so high since the 1930's. Maybe the history repeating phenomena is happening again.

President Clinton means WW3
President Trump means status quo.

We're going on Tuesday and they've given us a a day off before we head to Estonia. So I'm having a late night with some beers and a late lie in. Hopefully it's all good mate.

I don't want a White vs White war at a time when our race isn't breeding enough to sustain and replenish numbers. I'd prefer a White vs Removing 50mn kebabs and bananas from Euro clay and the reclamation of occupied Anatolia.

The kicker here is his bad breath is supposed to gross her out

those "labour and helper" positions are the riggers and oilers in crane operation

which are apprenticeship positions.

why are leafs so dumb?

if you like getting paid less than minimum wage with ever dwindling job prospects then sure they do, mate

apprenticeships are a lie designed to jew cheap manual labor out of young people.

Which ibew? I was part of 269 and they royally fucked me and my friends. They fired all employees with the least seniority just to give OT to the old fucks a few years away from retirement so they could have bigger pensions. And to add insult to injury the did it during the financial crisis. Fuck the unions! The way they treated me pissed me off so much so that I got into the electrical shop business just to spite them! I'm the only union free/open shop in Trenton and they fucking hate me because I'm getting all the lucrative contracts without having to deal with union bullshit.

>liberal arts majors literally have better job prospects than this. what the fuck

Lol you fucking retard.

>Go to college
>Study 'liberal' 'arts'
>graduate with useless degree and no skills
>Be about $100k in student loan debt
>get job at Starbucks (best case scenario)

or...

>Apply for trades
>Don't get training (worst case scenario)
>either way don't get into debt
>Get job at Starbucks
>LOL at retarded, overly credentialed, morons who think having a BA in Pubic Hair Weaving with minor in Tumblr Studies is impressive

Same goes for any job.

My friend applied for a job at GCHQ, went through a year long interview and vetting process (for security clearance and the like), but while he was doing that he got a job at a pension company for the year getting paid more than being on the dole and getting experience.

Shit's easy you fucking retard.

This system really truly is rigged though. There's nothing about what I do now that any reasonably intelligent person couldn't do. My barrista is probably smarter than me in all honesty.

Just be black or a veteran- seriously I was in the same boat for pipefitting and after working 2 years nonunion my father's uncle got in touch with a state senator and ended up skipping the list.
