7 - Trades, Transport & Equipment Operators

When I was first starting out, I wanted to get into any trade that would let me use my head. As a labourer I was doing the same repetitious work day in and day out and that wasn't really my cup of tea.

I watched a few machinists at our local shop and the work interested me, but I also knew a few millwrights and I liked the variation in their routine. Some days they would work on hydraulics and the next day they might work on a pump. It was all mechanical work but always something different.
