Bill H. Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Joe, Why don't you contact your local Union carpenter shop. See if there might be any interest there? I think you'd have better (safer), luck just trying to stay local with your sale. Good Luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Joe, Why are you getting out, and what line of work are you doing now? If you don't mind answering, of course. I've been a carpenter for 25+ years, was out of it for about 4 years, and have recently started back up (and the body is complaining LOUDLY). Not sure it was a good idea, but I am providing for the family... Best of luck in your endeavors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joessportster Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 i was in the business for the last 6 years working for myself and 15 years before that i worked for others i am now 40 and working alone (no laborer) is getting a little harder, not to mention cant get ahead seems like jobs came in spurts. i was working for a single individual the last 3 years and the pay was great but no benefits and again i am now 40. after some long hard thinking i figured with the new health issues, and no retirement, no vacation etc... and im trying to have a little one with the new lady in my life i truly needed health ins. so i was able to get a job with amtrak as a union employee in ther maint. dept, i am making near the same money and i have all the benefits (health, life, vacation, free riding policy etc...) i took a look at what the new job entails and although i know i will get bored at times (same work over and over) i will have a chance to move up in the co. and i can retire at 62 with alot better retirement than social security can give me i also have the option for 401K after a year, i just felt like this would have to be the time to settle down into 1 job and try to provide for the future, construction wouldnt allow me that oppertunity joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
