7 - Trades, Transport & Equipment Operators

(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)

"I didn't really have any big plans when I was going to school for what I wanted to do. I always knew I could work for my dad and I could always find work. and so I never really went for one particular career.

"Even enrolling in this*, I wasn't looking at a long-term career. But once I got into it and started doing it, then I realized that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life."
