As a software person this sort of thing seldom comes to mind. What we also dismiss is all that professional association and certification stuff that we don't have to deal with. I don't know about you, but so far I still like the freedom and ability to move up and around we have better than being stuck working myself up from entry level through to a high paying job by waiting for someone else to retire or move up and out of the way first. Or you become a business owner, which in the plumbing and electrician business I guess is very common. But not everyone is cut out for that.
- apercu 3y ago"You're not the son of that particular (local) biker gang's members or in favour with them? Sorry, no welding for you!" That seems super local. I've got welder friends (and electrician friend, and plumber friends and my brother is a GC). I've lived in Texas, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Ontario. I've never heard that biker gangs have a monopoly on welding jobs. And in my crazy 20s I dated a CC Riders ex-wife.
- tharkun__ 3y agoI'm not a welder so I can't tell you more. It's hearsay. I guess it's the same kind of super local / random thing as restaurant owners may have to deal with in order for their establishment to be "protected" :shrug:
