What is the difference between a Sheet Metal Worker (http://www.red-seal.ca/trades/sh.2.2t_m.2t.1l-eng.html) Metal Fabricator (http://www.red-seal.ca/trades/m.2t.1l_f.1b-eng.html) Machinist (http://www.red-seal.ca/trades/m.1ch.3n.3st-eng.html) I'm looking into applying to programs but they all seem so similar yet they all lead to different red seals. This is a big decision for me and I'm really unsure because they seem so similar.
This has to be a wind-up ! Sheet metal workers are tin bashers,metal fabricators are welders that can drill & bolt RSJs & machinists are blokes that operate a mill or a lathe. Someone's taking the p**s !
I would look at doing and vocational engineering course, that's what I did when I left school. A foundation program, which will introduce all subjects. I would look at getting an apprenticeship.
The first one is the least skilled, followed by the second one. The "machinist" will be the highest paid and most skilled.
