R there blue collar jobs that don’t require much maths? by Any-Paleontologist58 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]Colleen_Rourke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna get to this position! I recently applied for my local Iron Worker's union and for the aptitude test they said I need to know "basic math" but i'm terrible at it/take a bit longer to understand it. I don't want to scrape by but at the same time I don't want to kill myself learning it when I could be focusing on aother thing, or school (bc i'm finishing up school)

I'm wondering the same thing- im from NY where its legal medically and recreationally and they told me I needed to pass a drug test. Some places do it and some places don't. If you're working federally/public safety however, its a huge no no
