Actually brick layers are pretty much the same as a Laborer.. which is one of the lowest paid trades... i know around here, electricians and sprinkler fitters get paid quit well..

[devincanada]

electrician or anything in alberta=profit

This, plumbing, etc.

[DuLac]

i'd imagine a line-worker on powerlines would make a large sum of money in canada.

[BCpump]

ya go to alberta and work on the oil fields, but its terrible work

If i were you i would go into electrical or pluming....go to a company and do a apprentiship, both trades make good money


my dad start out doing electical and now runs his own business and has 10 electicans working for him

I know a guy who started off brick laying for $25/hour and I started at $10/hour when I was a laborer

[stonefacekilla]

high class bum boy escort

[Dysrhythmia]

With time, obviously.

[skatestraight]

Most of these start at $30 an hour at the right company, I know lots of people making $60+ after 10-15 years

[DE#99]

so if i became an electrician i wouldnt be making 25 bucks an hour my whole life? that would be ****ing horrible.

[Messiahtype]

Defensive End.

[Mike1991]

Elevator mechanic, my brother makes $54/hour and makes double time on anything over 40 hours/week. He also has full benefits, dental, dry cleaning, uniforms, massages (for 'stress' lulz), work boots etc. all paid for by his company, hes only 21 years old.

But GL getting in, most companies only hire relatives/family/friends

[DeluxePeanutWaffle]

Alberta has the worst busts in history. Everything is one extreme or the other.

Anyways, be a Geologist ,geophysicist or a PA. Engineer. Both are needed in the oilsands and in oilfields in Saskatchewan/Manitoba.

I'm not sure if you're being serious or just mentally retarded.

??? well how much then let me know ****

[OnceNothing55]

Yeah but if you wanna go union, then you'll have to do an apprenticeship...and i've never heard of anyone in the trades starting at 25 dollars an hour... they aren't going to pay you that unless you know what you are doing and are worth that much

yea it is really hard to get into the trades if you don't know someone already in one that could guarantee you an apprenticeship.
