Hey, I’m considering getting into the sheet metal trade, possibly through a union apprenticeship.
For people who actually work in the trade:
How physically difficult is the job?
How much welding do you actually do?
Is welding a big part of the apprenticeship, or just one of many skills?
What does the day-to-day work usually look like?
How hard is the apprenticeship overall?
What kind of money can you realistically make during the apprenticeship and after becoming a journeyman?

Hey, I’m looking into joining SMART Local 45 in Des Moines and was wondering if anyone here has experience with sheet metal as a career.
Is it a good trade overall? What’s the work actually like day to day?
Also, if I go through the apprenticeship, can I realistically become an HVAC technician, doing service, troubleshooting, AC/heating, refrigeration, etc., or is the apprenticeship mostly ductwork, fabrication and installation?
Would appreciate any advice from people actually in the trade. Thanks!
