Allright people, I just finished my stint at Apex's welders program. I'm desperate for work. I just got laid off from my job at an architects office. Any idea where to go and where to look?
I like TIG and MIG I can do stick but I prefer the others. HELP! please

Mastrtcal depending on what you did in the architecture office your welding background may help you get a job in an engineering or construction management firm.

My Bach. of Architecture, combined with my 15 years in the building trades, means that I get offers sometimes from firms looking for someone to go out and do site visits and on site management. You lack of experience my or may not hinder you in this. Depends what they are looking for and what you did in the arch office.

I was office manager/third string drafter. I didnt really enjoy drafting much at all. Because of my drafting I'm sure there something out there that could use those skills but I want to weld and not pour over prints.........

I am an Electrician working at the Wards Island Water Pollution Plant.

Sounds like fun! need any welders?
