  1. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to go. I'm still somewhat confused on what direction to go, like if I decide to stick with carpentry how do I turn that into a full skydiving career? How did others start out? I think I feel that if I stick with carpentry or any other trade that I'll just stick with it and get used to the schedule for my whole life. I see people like riggerrob that do it for a living, but I also hear that skydiving cannot sustain a person for living. I see where I want to be, but I'm trying to figure how to get there, and how long it will take. I mean I'm only at 19 jumps (basically solo national, one more meaneuver but snow cancelled my jump to do it) so to get to a "B" CoP and then take a rigger course which may be offered at the end of the summer? Then applying the rigger rating and where to work is all what I'm trying to find out. haha I'm asking for your life story, sorry but for my own good and we're supposed to be planning our "life career" in grade 12 at school.
  2. Don't you mean in the colder months rigging would be better? I haven't done my carpentry job in a while mainly because I'm in school, but on weekends it's too cold that I work my other job at tim hortons. I'm also not sure if carpentry is the way I want to go still either, I may change a trade but I'm always keeping my options open. Also to start rigging what are the starting points? Like for this course your talking about, anything special to start? Or for factories are those only rigger trained employees and what's the work like? So many questions I know, but this is all great what your giving me
  3. I am from canada and I was wondering if someone could do an occupation profile on rigging as a career. I would like to know everything from salaries, to working conditions, to training...and so on. I am from canada and currently have 20 jumps if anyone can help me out. Thanks
