I wasnt sure where to put this comment but here goes...

A buddy wants me to go withhim to apply at the local elevators union in LA (pasadena). he just wants to get his foot in the door but I was wondering if having an LA city cert gives one an edge. I have my strucural cert (manual process) only on my LA but Im also certified for innershield through AWS.
I am currently a shop Ironworker and am part of the IW union, but I like to keep my options open. Does much welding go into that industry?

forgive my lack of knowledge!

Too many "ups and downs" in that line of work for me.
