 | I wanted to start a job as an Apprentice Electrician or a Heavy Equipment Operator. There are no unions here in Denver that I can find for either career. I don't have any inside connections, and I don't have a college education.
I have tried Craigslist but most companies want someone with experience. So, how do I get experience if I need experience to get experience?
Thanks for your help with either electrical or heavy equipment.

 | I'm soon going to go to job corps to learn how to be a heavy equipment operator. Is this a good career choice? Where do heavy equipment operators make decent salaries? Is there a certain heavy equipment operator that makes more than other (e.g., crane operators)? Any advice about heavy equipment operators would be much appreciated. Thanks!

| *I am taking classes online.
Here is my history:
12/03-2/05 US Army
Deployed in Iraq
Heavy Equipment Operator
4/05-4/06 OWBF (a furniture place)
Local Box Truck Driver
8/06-12/06 Werner Enterprises
OTR Truck Driver
12/06-Present JB Hunt
OTR Truck Driver
I would really like to start working for a local company so that I can be home more often but I am concerned that when I finish my Bachelors degree next summer that no one will want to hire me because I have switched jobs too many times.
What do you think about this? Will moving to one final truck driving job make a difference in whether or not I can get hired as a software developer?

| There is a lot of talk about the importance of a college education when it is obvious not everyone is qualified or they get student loans they will never be able to pay back while partying instead of applying themselves to programs that will not really help them in life. Take a look at the WSO graduates crying about the inability to get a job. Maybe they just are not qualified or expect to be paid more than they are economically worth.
Everyone has something to offer. They may have an appitude as a Over the Road driver, heavy equipment operator, great artistic talent, great home builders and construction workers, fixing cars, nursing, being EXCELLENT teachers .(not mediocre teachers who depend on Unions to secure their jobs) mechanics.
Wouldn't it be better to have an educational system that first tests the aptitude and natural talents consistent with their interests instead of 'one system fits all'.
Lower grades should definitely learn to speak proper English, speak properly and distinctly, math, spelling, writing which would be good in writing letters and resumes in applying for jobs.
Starting Junior High the aptitude programs should begin.
All children should learn about responsibility, integrity and the basics of a productive, loving family, whether not they may be living in one. Such things as these could turn this great back to his foundation.
