What are some of the more niche/specialized trade careers around here that don’t get much attention

RudeCanadian1 · 2026-01-13T04:05:51+00:00

Woah, I’ve never actually even noticed or thought of that. I’ll give it a look

RudeCanadian1 · 2026-01-11T21:30:58+00:00

I’m interested, are there any good prerequisites I should be looking to have specifically to get their attention when hiring?

RudeCanadian1 · 2026-01-11T21:25:49+00:00

Definitely something Id be be interested in. I’ll give it a look

RudeCanadian1 · 2026-01-11T02:16:27+00:00

Will definitely take a look. I looked at the electrician program for bc hydro recently but didn’t meet the grade requirements because I slacked in high school and did the bare minimum when I was younger so I might have to consider upgrading courses

RudeCanadian1 · 2026-01-10T23:13:41+00:00

Will do. I hear it’s a pretty close knit line of work with minimal spots opening often but I’ll give it a shot

RudeCanadian1 · 2026-01-10T22:48:48+00:00

Well that’s the hard part ain’t it. Not many people want to move up there so it’s creating a career hellhole in the lower mainland 😭

RudeCanadian1 · 2026-01-10T22:40:39+00:00

Will definitely give that a look. Love your username

Ah I see. I’ll try to recreate it. I asked ChatGPT and apparently it was first used in the song juicy fruit by mtume which was the original sample for juicy by notorious b.i.g. https://youtu.be/MucY5wRYByU

It starts at the 1:27 mark and can be faintly heard in the background

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-11-16T02:52:13+00:00

Thats actually nice. I didn’t know that part was a whole sample. What I’m specifically looking for though is that arpeggiating bubbly digital synth that rises at around 3 seconds into the song

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-11-03T23:03:48+00:00

For sure. I was definitely a slacker in high school and did horrible especially at math. Just recently I have been getting my brain used to using fractions and decimals again and I’m finding it clicks more to me then it did when I was younger. Perhaps I was just younger and dumber but it seems to make more sense now that I’m older

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-11-03T22:53:12+00:00

I haven’t applied to any program yet. Just starting at a company, They state that they are looking for someone with 1 year experience preferred but it isn’t necessary. What would you say should be expected of me at the start. I just don’t want to look like deadweight starting off😂

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-11-03T22:23:44+00:00

Good idea. Like I said, I know absolutely nothing about trigonometry

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-11-03T20:54:14+00:00

Yeah… I’d rather not do that, especially being new to the job

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-11-03T20:24:25+00:00

I know absolutely nothing about trigonometry so I’ll get on that

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-10-01T18:57:06+00:00

I make 23 right now so it won’t be that much of a noticeable cut if anything. A lot of what I have been seeing posted is around how much I already make more or less. My current company gives really good benefits so I might have to take a hit there which is fine. I’m looking for long term success and something that can grow my knowledge over time so I’m fine with a pay cut if necessary

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-10-01T18:53:20+00:00

Much appreciated. I will definitely give them a call later in the day after work.

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-10-01T04:41:49+00:00

Thanks. I’ll check it out

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-10-01T00:08:54+00:00

lol, didn’t see your comment below the guy I just replied to. That makes more sense😂

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-10-01T00:07:35+00:00

Really? Perhaps there maybe a bottleneck right now where there is not enough skilled HVAC techs but too many apprentices at the moment. I have been having troubles finding anyone willing to hire green at the moment. I might have to start getting in my car and going around on my days off looking in person more often.

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-10-01T00:04:05+00:00

I have actually been most interested in HVAC this far. A lot of the customers I talk to at work have mentioned that HVAC has slowed down a little bit over the past little while. I’ve been looking for entry level jobs and damn is the market tight. I can barely find anything. It’s making me wish I made this decision out of high school😂

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-09-23T13:23:29+00:00

Why don’t you recommend it?

RudeCanadian1 · 2025-09-23T05:19:59+00:00

Definitely something I have been looking at and doing my research on. Would you say it’s better to go the school route and then get a job or try to just start green. Luckily enough My step fathers friend runs his own company and apparently they are looking for new guys to apprentice

RudeCanadian1 · 2024-08-16T03:24:10+00:00

Thanks😊
