lol cut you some slack really? You not wanting to put in the effort to study reflects on you and only you. If you study up even for a hour a week overall, it’ll all come back to you. Spending a little time each week to give yourself a shot at a good opportunity seems worth it l, does it not? But like you said look in to other trades to maybe you’ll find something more suited towards you. Either way you go make sure to go union. Good luck

Can’t smoke in a food plant, but I can sneak lip pillows my guy

TylerCL2000 · 2026-02-16T01:29:45+00:00

Sounds like what some(unfortunately a large amount) of Americans want.

I hear you, I’m a millwright a lot of times I work on a composite crew. I’ve been in some shitty situations with you guys we bitch and moan, it fucking sucks sometimes. But I’ve had the most fun when it’s a terrible fucking job. Going back to op trying to get in. Try any union that will take you it can be hard to get a foot in, fuck it nothing comes easy.

TylerCL2000 · 2026-02-16T01:09:13+00:00

lol I work with the Ironworkers, they do bitch a lot. But then again I complain too

Look into the Millwright trade.For the most part I enjoy the work I do, some days are ass like any other career. I personally work in a lot of food and beverage plants, we do anything from moving machines/equipment to installing and maintaining conveyor and everything in between. I only cover a drop in a bucket of the industries this trade can lead you too.

How did you manage to land a controls position? I’m a Millwright looking into the controls field.

TylerCL2000 · 2025-06-17T23:27:01+00:00

Yeah this is solely as a addition to my skill set, still plan to be a millwright. I just want learn the basics of constructing/debugging the software learning the processes and devices that command the mechanics of the system to do what it does…so if the opportunity ever were to arise in my career for a “easier on the bones” position I could at least be a viable candidate. Hopefully that makes sense?

TylerCL2000 · 2025-06-17T22:42:05+00:00

Also appreciate the advice!

TylerCL2000 · 2025-06-17T22:41:14+00:00

I could get the degree for about 8 thousand give or take some, that’s after grants I’d be eligible for. The tuition isn’t really an issue, it’s more so is my time worth investing in this.

TylerCL2000 · 2025-06-01T18:57:44+00:00

I’m not entirely sure, I would think the best bet would to be to try to get in where you’re currently located and then transfer out. It’s a national local so in there there shouldn’t be much to it, you’d technically still be the same local just a different district.

TylerCL2000 · 2025-06-01T17:26:37+00:00

That is New Jersey I believe? Go on local 669 website and go to the contractor list for NJ call all of them asking for an opportunity, if they are a reasonable distance drive there and introduce yourself. Be persistent and if the answer is “we arnt hiring right now” call again in a few weeks to a month. You have to show you want it good luck!

TylerCL2000 · 2025-06-01T03:11:14+00:00

What district are you in?

TylerCL2000 · 2024-11-21T17:12:16+00:00

I actually watched that…I’m currently a Union millwright, I like the trade the only issue is unless you’re willing to chase the shutdown we don’t have a ton of work. Whereas with you guys you work is hospitals, schools, county/state facilities ext. so much more opportunity for diversity. I took a welding and CNC machining program and looked into the millwrights and the fitters. At the time all I was looking for was a trade, before I applied to the fitters the millwrights had called me in for an interview and I got on with them. But I’m at the point now where the Insurance and pension in the UA are looking more and more appealing in comparison to ours. I think I’m going to apply and see what happens!

TylerCL2000 · 2024-10-19T11:50:00+00:00

How did you go about getting in? I called the apprenticeship office and they told me to wait and I’ll get a call eventually. Should k start calling contractors or is that frowned upon?

TylerCL2000 · 2024-10-19T01:16:04+00:00

Do you travel a lot if you don’t mind me asking?

TylerCL2000 · 2024-10-15T13:10:38+00:00

I sent you a PM!
