Need a job, 25000 positions available

[Chewy]

I heard on the news tonight that bc needs about 25,000 trades workers to help with the expanding construction projects and the olympics.

If you know anyone who is crying about not being able to find a job i suggest bitch smacking them in the face.

there may be 25000 positions available in trades but they all want experienced workers.
i know my company needs about 3-4 more guys and they are only looking at 2nd and 3rd year apprentices

The ones who get hurt are usually OpenWater Divers who go Commercial with next to no underwater expierence. Ive been diving for years and I hold a MasterTrainer cert.
I feel confident in my expierence underwater. Though Im still carefull.

If I take this job I can be making up to $150/hr by next year.

ya madd cash !!!!!!!

But yeah, like you said, I take on alot of hazards.
I can no longer count on my hands how many times Ive been in 'bad' spots before.

Yes I do. Im very happy with my pay. (As well as what I was getting paid at that time.)

[crackdragon]

Just curious but is that considered danger pay or is it just additional for having gotten your diving certification?

Not sure I get what you mean?

To work as an Instructor, obviously you need to hold an Instructor cert.
To work as anything else, you need a commercial ticket.
You do get hazard pay as a diver but that varies from company to company and job to job.

You cant just work underwater if your a diver. You need the training.

[Webber]

how do you end up doing a job like this anyways?
do you start off as a diver and get approched by a company to weld or do you start off as a welder and decide that it'd be fun to do it underwater?

[project.one]

Im sure there are lots of ways. Though ive never heard of welders being asked to go underwater. ALOT different.
You need to want to work as a diver, get the training, put in the time and hope your good enough to get a job as one.
So, I guess you would start off as a diver and get approached by a company.

you stated previous that you liked the pay that you recieved at the time of diving so I was just curious as to if the additional pay was considered hazard pay or if it was for having the diving certification.... but you answered that anways
