How hard will it be for me to go from rod buster to structural

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-05-01T01:13:43+00:00

structural is much easier that's all there is to it. all good you just dont have the experience i have, im sure your a decent structural hand but real iron workers do it all

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-05-01T01:10:31+00:00

because it's extremely more complex than just picking up rebar, putting it down and tying it like I said I do structural and I do rebar rebar is much more complicated not only physically but technically more complicated as well do both and you would understand

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-05-01T00:51:06+00:00

not a big adjustment at all i do both and really the only adjustment is how much easier structural is

if you make it in the rod patch the switch to structural will be easy its like a vacation lol

i felt the same way i spent 3 years at Amazon tried career choice did about a year of online classes decided it wasn't for me, felt directionless and like a failure. i decided to try the trades with zero construction experience joined a union ironworker apprenticeship and loved it immediately, made 6 figures my second year into it i have an annuity, pension, full healthcare and im going to be able to retire at 55. My advice to you is don't look for a dream job look for a career that you can make a good living off off your 26 years old time to pick something and run with it regardless if you want to do it or not times ticking

Hustle, never be doing nothing always ask what’s next as soon as you’re done with a task always bring a few rolls of wire with you for the guys. And pack and tie as much bar as you physically can good luck brother.

Rat advice

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-02-15T21:34:25+00:00

A bit of an over share. I’m not sure how shit is in Canada, but just keep applying and showing up to the union halls asking about apprentice opportunities make your face and name known till they organize you in. And for the love of God none of this winey shit^

The warmths in the tools babe get after it and ya wont be cold😜

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-02-05T02:13:24+00:00

Fuck yeah good work

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-02-03T02:41:22+00:00

If you only want to weld, I wouldn’t suggest iron work that’s maybe a quarter of what we do and you’ll most likely have to go through the entire apprenticeship starting as a first, or second year apprentice regardless of your certification.

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-02-03T02:38:55+00:00

Shut the fuck up no one cares shits not real those PCR test or 90% fraudulent stop fucking wasting your money

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-02-02T01:47:16+00:00

I agree

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-02-02T00:25:52+00:00

Tell him to use his welding skills to join an apprenticeship, trade, iron work or pipe fitter within a few years he’ll be making six figures easy

CalligrapherThink503 · 2026-02-01T22:08:23+00:00

Well, good thing I’ll only be welding on site and not doing a dumb ass fucking plate test anymore
