My good friend is looking into a start in the construction trades, stuff like framing, painting, concrete, etc. He and his wife just had a new addition to the family and the finances are really cramping, he'd really like to learn a professional trade to provide better. Labor/piece work isn't a problem, he's been in warehouse shipping/receiving for years and is the hardest working guy, with the best work ethic, I've ever met in my 29 years. If you guys have any leads for a position with oppertunity, learning, and a decent wage, PLEASE post them up.
