Thank you so much mate, what do you think of plumbing as a trade ?
I started my apprenticeship at 18 Im 27 now, Journeyman making 41 dollars an hour. It was the best decision ive made in my life
I tried so many times. But electricians got scared of having an electrical engineer become electrician. You want a kid with no experience.
Man, I've been thinking a lot about this. I can't afford to go to college for four years and ending up $100,000 in debt, but I always loved learning and figuring things out, and I want to do a decent job that'll let me take care of my family. This seems like a great choice.
Not in the UK. Labour is so cheap here now that if you're directly employed by a company, you're on around £17-20ph… Which is pretty shit for a fully qualified career where you're active 12 hours a day and have people's lives in your hands. It's ok when you're young. Not terrible money. But when you have to work til you're 65 in the UK. Construction is NOT a good idea. It's soul crushing. And it's because there is very low demand for jobs because we opened the flood gates for the EU. I like Europeans, but I don't like wages being undercut causing the natives to struggle to fucking live.
I know this is late but im profile electician in college and its kinda sucks. Should i keep on this way?( its kinda hard)
I’m currently a residential electrician. What do you guys recommend in the sense of longevity and pay? Residential or commercial? Regardless I’m going to do residential for about 2 years. Thanks in advance guys
What’s a good way to start if you can’t go to college??
Be a Union electrician! I'm a recently retired ibew electrician from California, and I'm very thankful for everything the Union gave me. It gave me great pay, benefits, and now a really good pension I receive monthly. Was able to buy investment properties and retire early. Non union can never match what the International Brotherhood of Electrical Worker's can offer! Working conditions are unmatched between union and non union. Go IBEW! Apply at your local ibew union office. Good luck!
Do you need to be good at math? I hate math with a passion.
19 here and i am lost honeslty i tried college and i just hated it i can't picture myself doing 4 years there and working a shitty minimum wage job at the same time for 4 dam years so this may be what i need to do i got nothing to lose anyways mines well try this out
I will retire in military at 43 years old. Is it too late to join electrical apprentice? Thank you.
I work as a Tech for AT&T making $25hr but I wish I would have invested my time in your field of work.
I'm 26…that too old for an apprenticeship?
What kinda things do electricians need to know exactly? Like what do those license tests involve?
how do you become a helper without experience? Can I just apply to apprentice or helper jobs without any type of experience?
Dude, thank you for this video.
I'm 29 going on 30, and Ive just been working a 9 to 5 since 2007.
With no clear direction were to take my next step.
I'll consider it giving it another shot but saving up money for community college. Honestly im still clueless on what I should do. I already tried once and I'm always the last one their, I take a shit more time longer and sometimes just stare at what I'm doing. Feeling anger and sadness i just dont give up. But since I'm failing some classes ima have to drop out cause of financial reasons
I needed this! Thank you!
Thank you for this video
I'm interested in becoming an electrician. Harsh winters where I live. Do I need to be outside all day during a harsh winter day?
Actually been looking into being an electrician. Got a cousin who is one as well. Everyone says it's good pay, good job, and it ain't gonna stop being useful or in demand any time soon. I feel like I can get the elements of it. I know about as much as the next guy. My main concern is knowing the right places to go to.
I live outside of Austin i have experience in a lot of things I’m 19 I wanna own my own business being electrician any company’s should I apply for in Austin I have a little bit of experience
I’ve always liked working with my hands. I tried construction after high school and it was a tone of heavy lifting and grunt work. I’m only 21 but I did well in school I just don’t like learning pointless things. I’m going to pursue being an electrician. I took a class in high school called electrical systems where we installed different types of circuits. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner but hey it’s only been 3 years and I’m not in debt. At least I’m not having to pay off college tuition.
