I know the sound, I have a studded flashlight that puts out 1 000 000 volts. It is illegal in some states and it is formidable sounding.

construction, work is some of the easiest to get, I'd start by scoping out big jobsites. just go in and talk to contractors. Most big companies are always looking for entry level grunts. It's where ya gotta start.

I don't know if it's any diff in the USA , but here any young bloke like yourself thats hands on could get a starting job as a laborer , pay won't be that good
but you have to start somewhere . Then if you show them your a good worker it would be in there best interest to give you more training , witch means more pay
start at the bottom and work your way up .
You will get more qualifications and expeirience as you go .

My uncles owned a company.Once I learned how to read a tape,shoot grades,read plans) I suddenly(10-15 years...lol) became a valuable labor/operator.Lots of guys around here go to a trade school (couple days) to get their CDL.Then its off to work.Bottom of the ladder but a chance to learn the ropes.
Drug tests are a real bitch in this field nowadays.They make truck driving a crime if you have dirty pee.The guys on the job that get paid are the civil engineers

Work in the oilpatch pipefitting and maintenance, steamer operator, truck driver and heavy equipment operator. After taxes i get about 5000 a month, and sleep in my own bed at night which allot of people cant say here.
Amen to that union pipefitter and pipe welder make between 80k and 100k plus but I have to work almost 3000 hours annually to get it. Always on the road. Trying to find local work as I have 4 girls to support now that wife is gone. Love my girls and my own bed more than the money.

When a big company like Verizon goes on strike Ups union drivers won't deliver. If you're willing to cross a line you can get fast tracked to supervisor because that's who brings the packages. Atleast that's one way to do it, not neccasarily the case in the guy you quoted of course.
