Learn about a Pipefitter & Steamfitter Career with the UA

Commercial fitting won't prepare you for Industrial that well.Get out there and travel or you will be a plumber with a welding cap if you know what I mean.

This is really embarrassing but I really need some help so I'm willing to deal with the embarrassment.Does anybody have any advice for an older man I'm 38 years old and I have no direction and I have no experience doing anything except for landscaping I would like to learn some sort of trade and I don't even know where to start to be honest but I'm sick of being broke and I'm sick of not being able to provide for the people that I love and care about I just need change. Because I don't have any skills and because I'm 38 and I have nothing to show for it I fell into a deep depression and if I don't get out of this I just don't know what I'm going to do I need help and I don't have anyone to help me I have prayed to God and I have tried to work menial jobs but I want something that I can be proud of I want something that I can work my ass off all day and even though it might suck sometimes I can go home what they sense of pride for getting stuff done and learning and being somebody if anyone could please give me a message with some honest advice I greatly appreciate it. Please no bashing me I understand and I know the odds are stacked against me but I would appreciate only positive and uplifting responses I can make myself feel like s*** all on my own and I don't know where else to turn so any advice would really be helpful thank you and God bless

Benefits of a “ReaL” career

UA 333, best choice I’ve ever made. I’m 21, bought my house in November, have a newer vehicle (and put a nice down payment on it!), have made leaps and bounds in my mechanical aptitude. It isn’t a job, it’s a career!! The brotherhood comes before all else. If you can work hard, show up on time, and want to learn, you need to be union.

Just got accepted into the local 43! I start soon! I’m really excited!

Local 464 baby!!

Local 725

Local 032 here. Was in a dead end job in HVAC only making 30 bucks an hour in residential. Joining the union and making journeyman was life changing. With all the benefits and 3 pensions plus making $63.27 on the check I never would have been able to make a livable wage before. Thank you UA! As a single dad myself and my daughter are great full!

UA local 467 #1

I just signed up for welding school at my local college.

I already have an undergrad degree in bio-psychology (looking into possible IP law) but the mix of theory and physical hands-on work makes a career in the trades very alluring.

I'm in high school and I'm looking to become a steam fitter after high school

I pray for the day I get accepted as an apprentice applied 2 years in a row... Year 3 is mine!

What math is used in steamfitting ?
