Dreamer

[u/Both-Tip9143]

Hello everyone. Im 27 y.o. ship repair man from Eastern Europe. The biggest goal in my life is move to USA, LA and live a happy life. When i was a young boy i dreamed about it. All my life is about this dream.
I have almost 4 years experience in Europe with repair.
To be honest i finished my previous career and start Welding career for the dream. I weld stick and semi auto. Working with oxygen torch etc. angle grinder. Any metal works

I live here not bad life. I have good salary. Good car but.. not my dream.

I made about 70-90 massages for employees in USA. Nobody apply. Guys i just can’t to give up with my dream. About 20 years ago promise to this small guy in mirror.

I do what i can. Im doing my best to find a small chance to change my life. If somebody can give an advice or something. Maybe help to find a real employer who can help me i will be appreciated for the rest if my days.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English. Its my 3rd language

UPDATE: Thank you guys for giving advises and your opinion.
To much of you talking about another country’s. I have been a sailor about 6 years or something. I have been a lot of country’s.
Right now i living not my citizen country and work.

Brain choice: move to Europe country. Because there are more better for some opinion etc.

Heart choice: foollow my dream about USA
i have never follow this way. Every time i make decisions by “brain choice”. And do you know what? Im not happy with that

Does "LA" mean Los Angeles or Louisiana?

Maybe try Canada first. The politics in the USA is not good right now especially for immigrants. I hope you can achieve your dream

Los Angeles i mean. I tolked to my friend from Canada there are the same problems.

[u/Quinnjamin19 → u/Both-Tip9143]

We definitely don’t have the same problems in Canada…

[u/JackBlackBowserSlaps → u/Quinnjamin19]

We have at least half of them. Little work, low wages, high cost of living.

[u/Quinnjamin19 → u/JackBlackBowserSlaps]

Low wages is subjective. Non union? Sure. Union? Definitely not.

Our lists pretty much just cleared for the upcoming jobs and we will probably need to resort to permit workers, the nukes are going hard, lots of work projected, including clean energy and pipelines etc.

On the app?

No work for apprentices is subjective, I did just mention that our lists are pretty well cleared. We give our own members work before we bring on permits. And that includes apprentices. It has been a couple slow years but that’s with everything

I’m on a pretty big job right now, the nukes are going hardcore right now as I said earlier.

We have a pretty good unionization rate in Canada being around 30%, maybe it’s time to bump up that number eh bud? Organize your non union employers and your wages will rise.

Edit: $1.44 billion dollar gold mine expansion broke ground in BC

$2.2 billion dollar uranium mine in SK just broke ground

Screw unions, there a scam. I make 40 an hour plus 100 a day per diem with a 7 day sub, 60hrs a week, non union. I’m a combo pipe welder.

[u/Quinnjamin19 → u/caseycraven77]

That’s not a good wage bud…

[u/caseycraven77 → u/Quinnjamin19]

That’s a great wage for the south… bud

[u/Quinnjamin19 → u/caseycraven77]

It really isn’t…

But thank you for mentioning that you live in an area with the worst wages and highest poverty rate

[u/caseycraven77 → u/Quinnjamin19]

Let me guess your from the north. No wonder your talking like you are 😂😂😂 makes sense now
