Seriously tho, I agree with mukluk, union is the way to go. Been working since i was 14. Fishing Cod in Newfoundland. Then logging. Then in a auto shop. Finished high school (with honours) and went to college. Got a diploma in millwright and moved to Ontario to work in a factory. After a year and a half I had enough of working inside (after fishing and logging) and my wife's uncle helped me get into Peel Region water and sewer dept. Started as a labourer in 2003, moved up to tri-axle truck driver, and now I run a Vactor 2011 Series hydra-vac truck and make good money doing it. I have total control of overtime. My advice is get into a trade with a good union. Great job security, good pension, guaranteed raise every year, and most important, weither now or later...BENEFITS!!!
Good luck with your search.
