Hi,

I'm currently days away from finishing school. My life long dream has always been to become a heavy equipment operator (particularly excavator) since i was a kid and now I've done some growing and am still just as passionate. I dont know if this is relatable but when i was younger i would regularly ride my bike to construction sites when they were working and just sit and watch the machinery work. I still to this day get enjoyment out of watching them work and constantly dream about operating them. Ive done some research recently and am seriously struggling to find how you become an operator?

I'm pretty keen and am not afraid to put in some physical labor. If anyone has some advice and tips or how you personally became an operator I'd love to know.

​I did not find the right solution from the internet.
