Just alittle background the company I worked for sold out to a larger outfit. With 125 workers so far seven are hired on. I applied there and dropped mass resumes to every outfit I could find in the area. I've only got one reply back and it sounds like I'll be mowing lawns more then doing any sort of equipment operations.
I'm wondering is what people will do ten years from now? My resume is great. Growing up I was a dairy farm brat worked the fields put in my 60 hours a week while going to school. Out of high school I joined the marine corp to get operating experience and became a desert rat building roads at breakneck speed. Out of the service I operated for local company I knew since I was a knee high and did everything they asked. Finish Dozing, not bitching running the scraper/dozer when down a man, run special labor project like gabion baskets when we got a flood project.
I want to be clear here I'm not bragging about my skill set or even whining on a online forum. I'm just wondering if I'm not working construction in my prime and find some other sort of work who becomes the future foremans and operators? I'm just baffled when I think of this because even though I'm young at thirty I dont see very many young guys as operators. This market is ****.
