I'm a millwright with adhd. I'm a fully qualified jack of all trades.
How do you like millwright? I’m looking for a career change and that was something I was considering.
I enjoy it well enough for work. I have an aptitude for it and can fit in the tight spaces I need to in the role that I'm in. It's all the issues of being a mechanic with the added joy of your machine can be as big as a building.
I know in Canada with a red seal I have a lot of options if I am willing to travel/relocate. The pay is on par with other trades if your boss doesn't want massive turnover.
That’s good to know. I’m pretty good at fitting into tight spaces too, and think working on machines would be really interesting. My dad actually did millwright apprenticeship for a year before changing to welding, so I’ve spoken to him about it too, but it’s good to have multiple perspectives, especially from someone who actually does it as a career. I’m also Canadian, so that’s good to know too.
One of the things I have noticed is that there are more and more electronics on things. So if you do decide to become a millwright pay attention in the controls block.
Good to know. Thanks for the info, I’ll keep it in mind.
