I am a 4th and writing my first 2 papers for the 3rd on November 6th here in Lloydminster.
I was in Lloyd when they where just starting to build it. I was wondering how it turned out, they where pouring the fermenters and they where huge.

I'm a HEO "heavy equipment operator" run most everything, excavator dozer and such. I laughed though when I read about sniffing dirt because it reminded me of when a co-worker and I were using the "urinal" beside our fuel tank for a few days and then the environment guy investigated the stain on the ground and took a big sniff of our pee. I've had to clean up a few oil, fuel and even sewage spills though. Not all mine of course.

I think i would eventually work on my 1st.

I have often wondered if you wind up out classing yourself with a First Class Ticket. I am unable to finish my first in my current job if I wanted to got for a first, and having to move is just not a option. I think of all the places in southern alberta where you need a first and there are not that many. But with that being said it sure would the icing on the cake career wise.

anyway

Journeyman carpenter at 21, Realtor at 25, started my own housing development company at 28. Right now all I do is take care of my crews and my properties. I have rentals in Florida and Texas all the way to Cold Lake. At 37 I pretty much spend most of my time in the truck or on a plane ...10 more years to go.

I retired last spring and have found it to be a great job. Love the free time to hunt and fish, just got home from whitetail and goose hunting in Saskatchewan. It's the best job I've ever had

I build and renovate things. Mostly decks and garages, but have been doing entire basement developments as of late, and some smaller renos. Things haven't really slowed for me, yet.

Default Forester #5

I'm a forester as well. I must be on the front side of the experience curve (compared to JohninAB et al), as I get out to the bush about half the time.

Neat idea for a thread, by the way.
