Waiting to meet my uncle at the local electricians union. He says he can "get me in" I'm skeptical but would he excited to learn the trade. I was caught between this and pipefitters because I enjoy welding. The electrician field seems to have more specialization involved and a higher average pay so i guess ill have to learn to weld on my own time. Also the option to go back to school for electrical engineering or something on the side. The whole thing is intimidating but having a career to work on sounds better then working low skill dead end jobs. Talked to people whod been on the job ten years at my old one. Still 100% travel and basically just raises to keep with inflation. Yuck.
Yeah im leaning towards electric. Gonna take forever to start working let alone get an apprenticeship. I wonder if it was like that in the past or not. Gonna take an 8 week welding course regardless of everything in march just because i want to learn it for personal hobbies. Theres wireman or datacom for the apprenticeship. The journmanyman pay is about 15 grand less for telecom but im wondering if i can learn it still in the future.
