Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted October 12, 2013 Super User Posted October 12, 2013 Well after two weeks and 2 days of new employment I got laid off. The work he was planning on having didn't materialize. I was told I didn't do anything wrong. They just dont have the work right now. If that Aint some Clayton luck I don't know what is. Fortunately for me though. My wife fell back in love with the massive paychecks I received for my two weeks and two days. So she has agreed to letting me broaden my search radius. I now have the ability to search the entire South East US for work. Be it job hopping and chasing OT working shutdowns, or hiring on with a big industrial company. As long as I'm not gone for months on end she is ok with it. So I now declare, I am back in the game baby! Big pipes, big wires, big structures, big plants, bigger voltages then most electricians ever see, and BIG paychecks! I told her I can make us rich. She just has to have faith in me and trust me. In two hours I've managed to line up three interviews with some HUGE heavy industrial contractors. As in the smallest amount paid for a journeyman is 42 an hour. To put it in perspective. A Alabama journeyman non union makes around 22 to 26 an hour. That is if they are running work or have 20 plus years experience. Without running work pay tops out at around 20. Or if you are multicraft it tops around 30 without running work. I ain't been doing it long enough to top out at multicraft yet. Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted October 12, 2013 Author Super User Posted October 12, 2013 That sucks, I wish you good fortune and safe passage on your new adventure! Well thank ya. I'm actually kind of excited about all this. I mean life is an experience, ain't it? So why not enjoy it? Everything always works out in the end. I intend to make the most out of it. I look at it like this. All the experiences I'm getting make for great stories. I mean the people I'm meeting, the jobs I'm getting to work on, the companies I'm working for. In the end its all just stories to tell. My wifes Granddaddys uncle helped build the Sears Tower. He was an Ironworker from back in the day. All his stories have been passed on to me now. I'm passing them on to my son and my friends. That old Ironworker will live forever through his stories. That's what I want. That's why I do what I do, and enjoy it so much. Sorry bout that I kinda branched out on a tangent there. Quote

I've never been out of work for more than a day. Unless I wanted to be. I guess it just goes with the trade. Quote
