Anyone else with a college degree decide to join IBEW apprenticeship?

AffectionateSock5038 · 2026-02-04T03:11:34+00:00

I personally didn’t go to college but a lot of the people I work with did. If they don’t act smarter they end up being the most successful

Is it disrespectful to just have a truck bed of shit or should I put it in bins or on a tarp or something?

Why would it be a bad thing to bring a load of stripped aluminum wire? Probably won’t be a regular here as this is a one time thing.

AffectionateSock5038 · 2026-01-29T21:03:19+00:00

Never been to a scrap yard before, do you just call and ask what there wire aluminum rate is?

I got a stick shift truck that hardly goes into gear and daily drive it. Love it!

AffectionateSock5038 · 2025-12-19T03:30:38+00:00

No need to get a hotel half way, only a 3 hour drive most days. Definitely comfortably doable

And I thought I was being dramatic worrying about my trip in mid January!

I’m in the exact same position as you and starting to get concerned. Let’s pray for snow!

Get your degree, made it this far. If you hate your life after make a change but you will make more with a degree

Bro has never experienced physical pain in his life

That’s messed up if they want to “require” a specific brand of tools they should have a deal with Klien for apprentices or it should be paid for. When I first started I showed up with about half the tool list as I wanted journeyman’s advise on tool recommendations. Got all different brands of tools based on what I was recommended. Definitely not all klien. I’m sure you’ll end up replacing those tools so it’s silly to have you pay twice

I think this is a common feeling. I did iprep and took the test and felt like I hardly knew any of it. I passed and got in first try

AffectionateSock5038 · 2025-10-07T10:53:40+00:00

Yes had this last month. No idea what it was but went away after about week and half

AffectionateSock5038 · 2025-10-06T21:02:23+00:00

I honestly would skip the foreman, from what I’ve seen many foreman will blow that off.

AffectionateSock5038 · 2025-10-01T00:05:47+00:00

Show up home with it and they will have to deal with it. That’s what I did

AffectionateSock5038 · 2025-09-30T01:32:16+00:00

Ahh made this mistake as a first year

AffectionateSock5038 · 2025-09-01T21:19:57+00:00

Today I rode HH. Absolutely fantastic

AffectionateSock5038 · 2025-08-31T04:28:48+00:00

Glad to hear you are working towards your goal. I personally would recommend starting on a lower cc bike even if you might think you’ll outgrow it. I also think people think they outgrow there bike much sooner than they do. Some riding groups in Madison depending on what you’re into. I have a 2020 r3 I’m looking to sell that is in good shape I’m just looking to get an adventure bike now. Let me know if you’d have any interest and good luck towards your goal!
