    Good thing that you're being transparent about the work in our trade. True that new apprentices get the grunt work. If you're thinking about getting into ironworking...depending on the union in your area, you might not be doing structural work at all. You might end up doing rebar or curtain wall, which is completely different from what you see in these videos.

    This year is the year I’ll be applying for the apprenticeship and I can’t fuckin wait. Been interested in becoming an ironworker for about 2 years now and I got real serious about it over these last few months. Gona be taking online courses to get my GED and soon as I get that it’s game time!

    I have 15 years of ironwork experience I’m certified in 3/4G stick and wire. Can connect, layout, rig, etc. I want to join but I’m scared I’ll be taking a huge pay cut to start over at the beginning

      If you have that much experience, they won't make you start at the bottom.

    are you usually working through the hall or are you with the same company constantly?

      Well it’s been both. I’ve been with the same company since I moved to Phoenix, about 2 years now. But I had to go through the hall and get a work order with them.

      It’s different for everyone body is what I’m learning. But I wanna say period 1 gets 60% of 33ish dollars. If you’re on your shit you can always make more.
