Excellent presentation!
I worked as a welder pipefitter in a paper mill. Good paying job great benefits living in a small town being at home at night.
The downside it is a dangerous place to work in the factories.
You have to deal with occasional lowlifes that will try to mess with you.
At the end of the day there's ups and downs to every job you have to make the best of it .

The welder at the food plant where I am maintenance mechanic works about 10 actual hours most weeks but he gets paid for fifty. And at a higher rate than the best paid senior mechanics. And he normally only works on the jobs he decides to do. I've had broken things I've asked to get welded on the equipment I maintain that go back over a year that is still not fixed. He must have pictures of our supervisor getting cozy with farm animals is my best guess.

Where is the "Pacific North East" 😂

[@wiibear1720]

I assume he’s talking about Alaska but mixed it up cause he’s a welder and not a cartographer

[@GhostSmoke420]

Nah he's talking about the redneck parts of Oregon and Cali lmao

What's a plant hand? Sounds like a gardener

[@dh3940]

There are industrial plants around the country like nuclear power plants, oil refineries, chemical plants, etc. A hand is someone who is a good worker. Plant + hand = good worker at industrial plants. Lots of pipe and welds to be made at these places and especially lots of overtime $

@dh3940 like the hand of the king in game of thrones?
