In summary I am looking for a career where there are opportunities for advancement and a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. In high school I aimed my studies towards the trades so I could get a feel for the different fields out there. I know I am young but I want to start a career that I can grow in. Im determined to set myself up for success in a trade that there will always be a need for and I can use my hands and my mind equally at the same time.
Working at the ranch I change irrigation mornings and nights. We have been building bird cages all summer long hanging up chicken wire and putting nets over the top. I have fixed a few broken fences as in putting in new t-post and stringing wire. We have been bailing up hay so I've been driving tractors and servicing them. My boss asked me to stay on to help out more but I wanted to start a career instead of merely working a job.
I got hired on to help out with fireworks and I would carry boxes to the shelves and restock them and I would sell them to people. After fireworks were over he asked me to stay on and help him with other things. We built a deck and I insulated, hung sheetrock, mudded, and painted walls. We built a few fences. I worked for him for a couple summers and had to stop because of school.
When I worked as a dishwasher I would clean off the dishes and send them through the sanitizing machine. Then I would let them dry off and go put them away. I had to leave because track season was starting and I couldn't focus on my events while working. Josh asked me to come back on after track and school but I wanted more of a hands on outdoor job.

I recently graduated from high school and I am looking for a career in the trades. After speaking with a few people in the trades I've decided electrical would be my preferred field. I believe it would be rewarding and challenging all at the same time. Given the opportunity I am sure I will excell as an electrician because I have a strong desire to learn and master a necessary trade that helps people out and gives me a sense of satisfaction.
