Greenhorn looking for career advice

[Quartzite]

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get into the mining business and I'm trying to figure out how to do it. I'd appreciate any advice on what kind of jobs or schools to look at.

Nice to have you! Mining’s huge. There are tons of ways to jump in.

Hey, welcome! I used to work with big machines before helping out with mining stuff. This group helped me a bunch. You'll find lots of help here.

Big welcome! Mining can seem like a lot at first. You're in the right spot to learn. Whether it's trade schools, apprenticeships, or just hearing from people in the biz, this forum’s got tons of know-how to pick up.

Glad to have you. I remember when I first got curious about mining I didn’t know where to begin. Talking to people who’d been there made all the difference. You'll get a lot out of being here.
