Getting tired of the ups and downs of the auto industry so I'm thinking of going for some training. Not sure what i want to do though. Just wondering if you guys know of what positions are in demand out there right now. Sucks living by Windsor though cause most things are automotive based and like I said I'm trying to get away from that. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Truck Mechanic.
Since you like tools

 

[taisa899]

that's one of the things I've been thinking of. Just that I haven't seen alot of demand for it down here

There is alot of demand for new guys in the field

In London there is still a shortage of skilled trades, Electricians and plumbers are in high demand due to the building boom still going on. Framers and any job that is included in the building process basically.
If I could do it all over again I would be an electrician.

Had a very lucky to be alive experience with electricity a few years ago so that one's out of the question due to i never wanna go there again!

You don't need to be smart to be a truck driver...................trust me.

two problems with that are 1) I've been an insulin dependent diabetic for 31 years and they kinda frown on giving me a license because of it. 2) I do have a criminal record from when I was younger and the US doesn't recognise Canadian pardons. Trust me it's a job I've always wanted to do
