7 - Trades, Transport & Equipment Operators

(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)

"When I was in school, grade eleven, one of the things I talked about doing was being an accountant. I was always great with numbers and I thought that would be a really cool thing to get into. I'd even gone as far as looking into Red River and U of M, seeing different options you can take for post-secondary education."

"I looked at myself in grade twelve and said, ‘I hate coming to the same place everyday, I can't stand sitting behind a desk, an accountant just isn't for me'. I want to be outside, I want to be working with my hands and that's kind of what pushed me in this direction."
