When Drew Mascotti graduated from high school, he got a job delivering(送) pizzas. But soon he realised that it wasn’t what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a night class at a local tech school to see if welding(焊接) was a skill that “was going to stick”.
It did. Mascotti wanted to learn everything about welding and decided he’d make welding his job. But one night class wouldn’t be enough. Mascotti went to Hobart Welding School in Ohio for training. He became more certain that he would stick to the job.
For the past 18 years, Mascotti has been a welder. He now works for the EEW Group. The company has a big project to carry out. They make wind turbines(风力发电涡轮机) that produce eco-friendly electricity.
A typical day for Mascotti includes many tasks. “There is a lot to deal with,” he said. “It’s not just welding.”
Mascotti’s favourite part of being a welder is “making an honest living”. He also takes pride in helping the environment. “I’m glad to stick to what I really want to do,” he says. “I’m working for a company that is helping the country to go green, and I’m happy to be a part of that process.”
