Uh huh. You really are clueless about me aren't you. I don't see you welding tubes and pipes at a pharma lab or nuclear power plant, or working as a manufacturing plant electrician, or as a bricklayer knowing the chemistry necessary to mix up and apply various high strength or high or low temp mortars, or the strength to fling 40 pound concrete block all day, or maintaining and repairing railroad diesel-electric powerplants, or even how to mitigate hazardous materials. It's simple if you are literate enough to read the instructions. 5 Years apprenticeship to mix mortar. Really? I can testify to the fact that carrying concrete blocks all day does not require a lick of training or specialized skill. Buying a bag of mortar and following the mixing directions doesn't take a lot of skill either, although a little knowledge of the English language may be helpful. You would certainly be the "go to" guy for jobs requiring no useful skills, but mixing a bag of sakcrete was not what I was describing. And, actually, carrying or lifting 40 to 50 pound block all day long does require some training so that you don't injure yourself or others. But, as I said previously, you don't have the skills to qualify as a hod carrier. Does not take a union card to be able weld nuclear plant tubes. About 6 months training. My brother did weld on a nuclear plant, and that is after a couple months navy schooling. He was able to weld before joining the service, you can go to my local JC and take a 2 year welding course and get certified. Not union. A friend of mine in the 80's was an electrician at nuke plants. He said the workers there sucked, "you could walk through the openings they left in concrete walls"... |
