Question:

Somebody PLEASE answer!! (about heavy machinery!)?

My boyfriend is looking into becoming a heavy equipment operator, ive been looking for informations but i cant quite find any!I wanted to know things like is it in high demand and if he would make ok money? We live in Canada but if you live in the states ide still love to hear from you! So here are a few of my questions:-Do they make good money?-Do you have to move alot?-Is it a steady job, like an everyday thing?-Is it easy to move up in a company? (and possibly make more money?)Dont think im in this just for the money because im not :P i just think its important to make sure that you can support a family before you actually get into doing a job!Thanks a lot guys!!

Answer:

what exactly will he want to do? technician or operator? what type of machine ? these fields aren't going anywhere and most of them are steady. pay can range from $30K - $40K depending where you live and your training level. as for moving up in the company.... no idea. it all depends if the company trains you or sends you out for more training. then yes, they will want to keep you longer if they are investing money in you and will give you raises to keep you happy.
