I wouldn't say there's more union work in Canada, BC there is though. I agree with Rod. I went to a trade school because it sounded like the best thing for me. My dad had to practically fight to get me enrolled there. School counselors wanted me to go to a regular high school. There were some rather slow students at the trade school that wouldn't have made it in regular high school. A lot of students in regular high school referred to the trade school as a school for dummies. Move ahead to graduation time and the job market. My teacher encouraged me to look for a shop to take me on as an apprentice welder. I was offered two such positions and left school 2 weeks early. Again encouraged to take the job. I was making $7.31/hr fresh out of school in 1981 and about 6 months later the shop got a 13.58% raise and I went to $8.30/hr. People graduating from an academic school were fighting over a $4.75/hr job at McDonalds. Working with your hands isn't for everyone but when I was making almost twice as much, I really question who the dummies were. Sadly the school I went to converted to an academic school. I think most of it had to do with the school boards like Rod said. Dave
