Thread: Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

I know the feeling and will pray for you to get a good job. I was an ironworker for 20 years beginning in a boom in the late 1960s. It was great until the arab oil embargo took hold in '73. Took 5 years for work to get good again back then. Over the 20 years I learned that structural steel erection, construction in general, is "feast or famine', and not much in between those two conditions. In that trade you had to be ready to hit the road and go where the work was when it got like that. Usually there was work somewhere. Not sure what it is like now. I got out of it in '89.
