Ironworker apprentice first time at everything Jan 2022

[@richarddaniels2754]

This kid should be partnered up with an experienced journeyman. Not only is he not getting anything done, he could get hurt or worse yet hurt somebody else. Rich Daniels local 25 Detroit (retired)

It takes a brave man to do this job. Nothing but respect.

All that structural stuff is easy… then you throw deck for the first time…

It’s been a year. How’s everything? I’m out of SoCal trying to get in as well. Work has been slow so nobody’s hiring.
