Aha. I have an answer. HVAC people are not categorized by the feds as construction workers, but rather are classified as Installation, maintenance, and repair. So you can't be an HVAC worker in this exercise.

Where's the option for the guy that installs network and A/V infrastructure? Cabling and such?
I want to be that guy. The closest option was electrician, so I selected that.

I've done several constuction jobs working my way up....I've been a flagged on road constuction in College for a summer....most boring job on the planet, bonus I taught myself to juggle with rocks during the endless hours of desolation. I've been a construction laborer for a couple of summers, have roofed, laid tile, some concrete and spent a summer installing sewer pipe.
I know what my body won't do anymore and several of these jobs are very physically demanding.....I don't want to be a stone mason, roofer or floor/tile installer...too hard on the back and knees. Big ups to the men who can do that. If I had to choose I'd pick equipment operator due to the pay and it's match with my age and experience with GPS and equipment. That said, I know for sure that if I started day one as a general laborer it wouldn't take long to move up the food chain to a much more desirable job. If you work really hard and prove yourself capable they don't leave you on the end of a shovel very long. If I were advising a young person to choose something from that list I would tell them to be an electrician. Pay is solid and there will be huge demand in the field as so many are retiring. I believe skilled trades will be in big demand soon and the pay will demonstrate that. |

I wish I Had chosen electrician.....I took the day off and need to go install a couple rows of lights and a circuit of plugs in my shop. I'm not very good at it and usually get shocked or do things twice to make it work.

Do you want to choose it to learn more about the profession, or do you want to choose it because you enjoy being shocked?

It's hard to go wrong bringing people sunshine or doughnuts.

If Chiefsplanet starts a construction company, I may need you to do it. And I'll assign a few of our electricians to be your assistants.
I look at these jobs, and boy, I would not be a good construction worker. These all require skills and aptitudes that I simply don't have.
