What are the pro's and cons to both these trades? I was about to return back to Vancouver and literally got 3 calls today for interviews.

This is purely anecdotal.
Most of the glazers I've come across are pretty salty.
Most of the tin knockers have been pretty happy.

tin knocker it is.
Glazier is hard work, back breaking, heavy lifting. I've worked with a bunch of these guys before when I did construction. If you like the construction atmosphere, and are ready for hard labour intensive work.
Don't know much about sheet metal work, but I always watch the fab. shows on tv and it seems fun. Not saying i think its exactly how its portrayed but I love building and fabricating things.

Come work at Flynn Canada and do BOTH!
We have a Glazing Shop and a Metal Trim Shop right next to eachother.
We have field guys who install glazing and metal panels/flashings/cladding.
Glazing is where the money is at.
I'm an office guy so I wouldn't know what is easier.....
