working down at the docks looks like it would be kinda cool, but i don't know how to go about doing anything like that

from what i have heard, to work at the docks you need to know somebody. The pay is really good for easy ass work. If youre looking to stay here for a while, since you have welding experiance and construction you could be a pipe fitter. They do the big black water pipes and shitter pipes. Or sheet metal worker. Unions are the way to go here for construction, but you need to get into an apprenticship program and i think theirs are about 5 years, but they start out around 20 bucks an hour on the check. If you work non union you will only make about 10-15 an hour. Just something to look into if your interested in construction. Their top out pay is at 37 an hour now, and it about to go up.

do a search for seattle/king county (thats where most of the work is) apprentiship programs for pipe fitters. I will ask at work tomorrow what their apprentiship programs internesite is.

You can probably sign up online, but if its anything like the process i did, you have to take tests and an interview after the tests, so you would have to be here for it, and mine took 3 months to get into.
