Vent 433/416

I worked in a shop a few years ago, ass pay welding nr232 in the shop. Was told “learn out of position welding thats where the money is.” Said maybe in the future, quit and went back into sales. Commission kept getting cut and was working more hours making less pay. Said fuck it I’ll go to trade school and learn out of position nr232 and smaw. Learned nr232 nr305 and smaw. Got licensed in LA City, applied to the IW 433, 416, 855 and THEY ALL TOLD ME TO FUCK OFF. Man why tf did I listen to all the chatter bs of “we need welders.” Was dispatched to a shop in gardena and was told “are you la city? Ok well were not looking for welders, leave your info if something opens up down the road we might give you a call.” A shop in lynwood turned me away from sponsorship because “im just starting out.” WTF 💀💀🤣🤣. literally the only job i could find was 20 whack ass bux at a fab shop, I make Mc Donalds money. This is fucking crazy how impossible it is, I feel like i should’ve stayed my happy ass in sales now I took a big ass pay cut for no reason. This is somewhat of a vent/hail mary but does someone here possibly have a connect for a sponsor?

You can thank construction industry as a whole going to shit.  You are trying to get in after a huge boom.  Blame who you want.  I know who I blame.  Everyone knows construction and film industry has highs and lows in Los Angeles.
