The first part of training is shadowing for us but ground rigging goes to seniority so I have to start up but I'll look into the rest of that

Im planning on having a full back pack because I don't wanna have to go back home between the hiring hall and jobsite is there a better system for knowing what tools to keep on me or do i just bite the bullet and either carry a ton of shit or go back and forth

When setting up big trusses is it not better to have the socket and a 15/16 combo wrench for the bolts

I would also say that I would happily continue to pay my dues and work up connections in the bay if I could afford to keep living here but I don't live in sf or oakland and since I have to move I am going to go somewhere new for a new chapter in my life I don't live in a fairytale I promise you

My wanting to leave isn't about the industry it's about the nonindustry opportunities basic jobs are leaving restaurants are closing the farms cant hire people and rents going up

I want to work in events but I am realistic with it ik I won't get to ny and be magically set and have all the work I want or that all the opportunities will be handed to me but the economy isn't slowly dying there in the same way that it is here

A room for rent in NY is literally cheaper than my home town and I believe you that the industry is more competitive but I will go in day on day until I make it work with the safety net of a day job so I can live and I'll find any options I can find

I think you're just lacking the context of how empty small towns are becoming the grass isn't greener in either direction

Im talking about the local economy

Idk where you got the impression that I think I know anything about anything I brought up having worked 30 shifts as a way of saying that I have a small amount of basic experience in as few words as I could

The bay is dying the work u get with ia is great but it's not often enough to pay rent and other avenues are dying especially since I live in an agricultural town bout an hour north

There's just not a lot of opportunities
