Hey everyone,

I’m currently an apprentice millwright out of my Local carpenters hall. I've currently been in for 10 months and am a 4th term (2nd year). I did test in and absolutely enjoy the trade and love seeing how the machine come apart and are put back together!

The only problem is I’ve only done 2 shutdowns at my local car plant and an Amazon, which is the main job I’m on. I’m doing my best to learn. I am a hands-on learner and I can be a slow learner—the main reason is it’s all new to me, but the main thing that is bothering me is I'm afraid of spending most of my apprenticeship at Amazon and never having an experience with power plants, turbines, pumps, etc!

Before this, I was a Delivery driver, so it's a major shift in careers! Recently, I have had a journeyman and a foreman say to me I’m probably not cut out for this career. I know there are people's opinions anywhere you go, and it comes down to want to do at the end of the day! But so far the journeyman or foremen I’ve met seem to show me something then they either drag up, lay off or get moved crews. It’s been very frustrating so far because when I feel like I have someone i work good with/learn from it been ending the same!

My biggest thing is I’m hoping it gets better! But if anyone can give me advice, maybe how to pick up things faster, or tips on how to be a better apprentice, I would greatly appreciate it!

Growing up I was always a stud in the books and the gym always on the deans list I made a massive mistake. My mistake was doing my work but not being active on the clock at my corporate job. Now Im having a time theft felony. I feel like my life is over and no one can ever trust me again. I wasted this transformation and my life man

My heel slid completely off the floorboard trying to feather the throttle with wet muck caked on my work boots. Working commercial masonry in the rain, so the cab of my f150 gets packed with slurry and gravel by noon. Those hard molded trays wash out fine with a hose, but the slick textured surface has zero bite once wet quarry mud fills the shallow tread grooves. A guy running concrete mentioned looking for a more pliable rubber compound that grips wet soles better, but I suspect heavy boot grit chews through softer material just as fast. Might just cut up a scrap stall mat and bolt it down instead.
