I am a Journeyman Millwright that runs a crew of welders and mechanics for the NYC power company that build and maintain the power generation equipment (boilers, turbines, etc.) I thank God daily for the stability of my industry. I have an employee that is just out of college that I am training right now, and he told me that none of his peers that have just graduated can find jobs.
That sounds familiar, I'm an apprentice Millwright currently working at a government owned power plant. I work through the union so it's not a permanent job but we've been pretty busy in the energy sector lately, and I'm doing better than a lot of the guys I went to school with.
