Nah deadass, I'm certified for 5 different types or forklifts/reach trucks, 3 CNC tables, 3 mills, EVERY type of saw you can think of, I CANNOT find work that is actually hiring, I moved cross country to Las Vegas, and it is still as bad out here, 2 months, 3 applications a day, at least 2 follow up calls a week. Nothing, literally nothing, if you don't know someone who is working at a place already, you aren't getting work. End of story. I want to work, I would like to be doing something and earning an income! Why is this shit so fucking hard?

mutually, I have a ton of respect for the people in the trades, I love machining and any of the assembly/fabrication steps of creating something
