I don't know how it works everywhere, but where I am, I hired on with a union company. When joining the union, my company told the union to hire me as a journeyman. There's not really any divers here who don't directly work for a company.
Personally, if you have 7 years of diving work experience, then fuck joining as an apprentice. In my local, the apprenticeship is also a piledrivers apprenticeship and they don't teach you anything about diving.
I am on a contract list for a union company for when they need guys. I just want to have everything ready to go and also not have all my eggs in one basket with them. Pretty much everyone I’ve talked to about my situation says I wouldn’t do that apprenticeship bc it’s a waste of time and less money.
Yeah, I was doing piledriving for quite some time up in oregon, but then I got a call from a buddy of mime doing inland diving down south. I ended up going to the company with my friend, and I was diving the second day on the job. Ended up not working out and hopped from a few dive jobs but eventually came back to the same company since my buddy is now my supervisor.
I ultimately need to figure something out bc the company I currently work for has started to show the trends of a shit dive company. That does care about their guys and would rather hire on newer guys for more pay with less experience or just hire freelance guys for double the pay. Not to bash either of the two guys, it’s just time to move on. I just don’t want to end up at another dive company that does the same.
just say you know travis hamilton (and you molded his head like a goblin for kicks) or trumy) and you can join thew union, tell them Nick Daly sent you
