Why do you think the army believes that people with no experience at all are equipped to lead others?

Ski patrol.

>>932141
Because the Army, like many other branches of government, is a bureaucratic clusterfuck of retardation.

As a 2LT you'll get good training- don't get me wrong. But soldiering skills, ESPECIALLY in the infantry, can only truly come from real-world experience. You can memorize how to react to a close ambush or a far ambush or how to call in a grid, but until you actually DO those things for real in a combat environment, you don't really get the whole picture.

Another issue is that grunts are highly cliquish. It comes from having the shittiest job in the military- we have a shit life so we all stick together. Outsiders are looked upon with scorn and disdain until they prove themselves. A new enlisted man is a cherry ass bitch until he shows he can swing his dick with the rest of us. A new man who is not only just fresh out of training, but is also in charge of the "old crew" as it were is going to have a very hard time being accepted.

>>931885
You can become a surveyor. If your degree is strictly GIS, the outside jobs are the ones they give guys without degrees and pay shit half the time.

I have always loved working living and being in the /out/doors and I saw this as my way out of the increasingly boring and desk central way of academia. still have to drive a desk for a good portion of the year but the field work more than makes up for it.

Basically find a place that's looking for house framers and begin as an apprentice. Pay is great, as an apprentice I was making 12 dollars an hour unskilled. The job prospects are good too. I have an architect friend who says there aren't any young carpenters to replace the old. If you're young and in good shape I would say go for simply because you'll be commanding your price for your skilled labor. It's really easy to get hurt on the job. Learn to lift properly, know your limits, and always be aware!

>>935252

I was making twice that as an un skilled apprentice plumber. Master plumber who was teaching me, his hourly rate was 150 an hour (Rich area, he could easily charge that)

Couple of years ago a film company hired one of my cars for filming.

I ended up wandering around the sets out of boredom/curiosity, and I met a couple of guys building "flats".

Flats are walls used for interiors/exteriors.
Plasterers then give walls texture such as brick or wood paneling something of that nature. Or even plaster over the plywood to make it look like drywall.

Its basically wall framing, same as houses. ( google for pictures)
Even the studs are placed 2' or 24" apart, for even spacing between standard 8'x4' sheets of ply.

So I ended up tagging along with these guys and got hired on the spot.

$200 a day. I know the others were getting way more.

Things are incredibly fast paced and fuckups, due to tight schedules, are not tolerated but I still found it easy to learn.

There was another crew building doors and windows and I spent some time with them too.

I had some DIY experience but knew nothing about framing on the first days so I did minor stuff like stapling ply to the frame, sanding, gluing, or assembling the studs together with a borrowed drill.

By the second week I was helping hang doors, and cutting rails on windows with a handheld router.

There were painters and varnishers finishing doors and exteriors too, but they were under a much tighter schedule.

Two major things among the many that I wished I'd learnt were reading blueprints and measuring.

Anyway, point was that framing isn't that difficult to pick up.

>>934042
Apprentice carpenter here
What other anons here are saying is generally true, and I got the job just by knowing a guy, so that was pretty cool. I make $12/hr right now, but will be getting a pay raise in a few months.

The physical aspects of it actually aren't too bad, if you played any sports in highschool this should be nothing new. I work a lot of commercial projects so we are at high elevations or working with heavy equipment quite often. Most I can say is pay attention and stay safe. And wear your fucking gloves.

The work I'm doing is non-union, and while I'm grateful to my boss for his flexibility and taking me on with no prior skills, I could be making way more as an apprentice for a union.

Get in a union if you can, they are usually taking applicants because no one wants physical jobs anymore.

In education atm to become a forest engineer in Quebec, Canada
Job prospects look really good in my specific field, more people are retiring than young ones are graduating which creates a shortage of forest engineers (I guess millenials would rather pursue social science degrees than natural ressource ones)
