Hello ,
From a retired millwright / fabricator , one of the things that I found enjoyable and reassuring was the knowledge that with my skill set one could go to work anywhere in the world , in almost any industry for good money and with OT say around 25% , one could expect at least 100K per yr. . The more one applies themself the more OT gets heaped on ya , believe me 7 /12 are common ( great way to save money ,because you are to tired to spend it ) but they really wear you down so be careful wth OT especially if you have family.
Others have already mentioned trade schools and or military service, both offer good choices , because without knowledge or experience getting past the HR dept is next to impossible. Once you do get in keep taking classes ,say you start out as a weldor , take classes on blueprint , or machining and other metal forming basics or electrical controls and motor installations , pumps etc , dont stop , the more you learn the more $ you will be worth .
In conclusion being a millwright/ fabricator is in my view the best of all the trades open to anyone who wants to live a life full of learning and satisfaction.
Carry on young'uns

And you can provide services for your spouse!
Just what I wanted to hear. I am still trying to figure out between a electrician and millwright but I am beginning to like millwright more. Thank you
Only a couple things you need to. Mention, it can be a very dirty job and sometimes heavy manual labor. Also good communication is a must, you will be almost most certainly be always working with someone else and not always be able to choose who you work with. Be versatile and learn to work with everyone, everybody has various skill levels.
Thanks for your addition Daniel, it is very useful.
Daniel Sweet are you in this field now ? I have some questions but I am 42 and worked hard mechanic jobs my hole life and have a lot of experience with many things but I have to work at a job that's doable after two spine surgeries and metal inplants but don't have big limits but do have some with holding heavy to me stuff out at arms reach but my knowledge definitely makes up for it can you please give me some honest insight of what I need to know and be expected to do
@@garycsfunlife Depends on the industry you work in and how the company does there Standard Operating Procedures. Food Industry requires you to use food grade lubricants and you must know TIG for stainless steel. Widget Manufacturers mostly need knowledge in PLC and conveyors and sensors. Chemicals and oil industry mostly require people to be proficient in pumps and compressors and know fluids and many sort of valves and combination of non destructive testing. Usually lifting anything heavier than your body weight at a certain height , you will use a forklift, scissor lift, chain block, hoist and pulleys. If you are going to install a motor for example in a ventilation duct and the motor is 250 lbs you will need to very clever about using clamps and pulleys and know how to estimate loads in the building structure you are about to attach it to. At work, the best maintenance technician is the one who can figure out the safest and fastest way to do things. Time is money and equipment is money.
Fantastic video. I plan on showing this to many different students and educators in the next year. I love how often you said 'problem-solving' in the video! We need to show kids the problems, challenges and opportunities that exist in the world of work. The world needs them. Thank you!
Thank you very much Jean-Philippe! This is exactly our main objective to help the new generation recognize and build a successful career in the Skilled Trades.
Yes world needs best technician God help best of luck
Some other technical trades are also Electromechanical Technician, Industrial Mechanic, Instrument Mechanic, Mechanical Technologist, Plant Technician, Process Technician, and Maintenance Technician. They are pretty much the same thing, just some schools have slightly different courses. What is not mentioned here is that industry and company is what usually dictates what you concentrate on, such as whether you are working on valves, or pumps and compressors, or electrical wiring on panels, or field device wiring, or plc programming, or VFD programming, or machining, and so on. Your company dictates what you will specialize in. So if you want to be really an all around person better pick a small company because you do not need to specialize. If you are in a huge company , you will specialize more or less. Also expect to be on call for breakdowns like 3 am or when you are on day off. Some people might be scheduled on those times but you never know and sometimes the company needs as much help as they can get for example to set up new machines or when some people do not know how to do x but knows how to do y, and you know y but not x.
Electromechanical technician is not the same as the others you mentioned. It is something like mechatronics but technician way. But definitely good fields you mentioned.

Hi! I’m a high school student and I got kind of low marks but I’m good in math.. I’m very interested on this field, so do u guys think college also would be good for me and what course should I take in college and what else need...
Good question and is one I wish I had guidance on when I was younger. I would suggest start at local JC/CC and knock out basic classes to start like math, english or humanities and in your off time explore what else the school offers in regards to the trades. After a career in the military I got my A.S. in machining and I now want to get into being a millwright specializing lathes, mills and grinders. College is not for everyone but I will also say that higher education is, but if you go you should be able to get an internship with a local company. One last suggestion is do a job search for your ideal job as for location and pay, but also look at the job description then cater your education towards that. In all cases, I will always suggest more education, even if it is a class here and a class there.
Bro become a electrician
Thanks a lot.....i completed my higher secondary education & now im planning to take diploma in millwright at canada.Can anyone suggest a good college for the same??.
what did you do?
Most college grads couldn't handle a day in the trades. I make money more a year then most grads from the big schools.
John Sm accounting pays like shit dude gtfoh
I went to finance and accounting because of health issues. I was in the trades working as an Industrial Mechanic for almost 5 years. I want to mention I am a Finance graduate from a University and a Certified Industrial Mechanic.
Autistic comment.

M M Mike, you are a pretty cool guy for helping him out like that. I like people such as yourself Mike, good day sir.
She doesn't look like one. And yes, I do mean that you picture a certain thing when you think of a millwright and it's not her. Although men are more often interested in things and women are more often interested in people, the bell curves do overlap.
Licensed Industrial Mechanic? This girl is on drugs.
Yes she’s talking about becoming a journeyman
@@xxxdpgxxxx1389 which union?
IAM IUOE
As a millwright and a welder I promise you she can't do 90% of the jobs out there... some millwright jobs are easy but most are hard even for most men and most men quit the class after a few weeks. Then once they hit the workforce realise this is way to hard for me and go back to school. Us millwrights are a man's man type of guy.
What the reason for it being hard? Like physical wise or knowledge wise?
@@magnificent9784 both and also long hours and also extreme heat and being in positions that are terrible for your back and kneck for hours at a time. Sometimes only way to pull us out of what we are welding or fixing is to tie a rope to our feet and pull us out lol
