Ironworkers or Boilermakers

[jim jones]

Your starting apprenticeships as a boiler maker of an Ironworker?
Do you have any welding tickets now?
Is school for these apprenticeships being paid for? Are these Union jobs?
I'm an Ironworker welder myself. The boiler makers have some structural steel to be welder as well but not near as much structural work as the ironworkers.

Im starting an apprenticeship with boilermakers union at the end of the year and I got offer to get sponsor by a contractor as an ironworker for the union

Ironworkers job offer sounds good working 7'12 but I want to do pipe its like a catch 22, go to work right now or wait until I get picked up by the boilermakers

If it doesn't matter to you, I would choose the trade that will offer the most work in your area. If weather conditions are important one maybe better then the other.
Avoid them both and find a women with money !
