Don't get it.

I think the Leafs will win within 5 years

Yes, I'm 27 and I gave up a well paying career to begin my apprenticeship and basically start all over.....is that a problem?

I am a brother from local 853, i want to get into the Local 46, and they say no way the unemployment is threw the roof,
The question thta bothers me is that why would i have to start at the aptittude testand interveiws to see if im worthy of gaining an apprenticeship when i have completed my red sealed sprinklers fitters ticket and have been in the trade for 11 years. I mean i work alondside plumbers all day. i have the IPC and read it all the tim eat home. I really want in, Sprinklers is a great job, but the is not much room for diversity, and ever since this reccession, There is NOOOOO work and plumber and steam fitters are able to go to the Fort Mcmoney and being a Red seald sprinkler fitter, I am not wanted on the oil sands.
I got into the wrong trade. Somebody have some advice for a fellow pipe worker out on his luck.
Thanks 46
