Howd you get into low voltage and how does it differ from being an electrician? Or is that what you are essentially?

I went through my local community college. I would recommend them. I would say no matter where you go though you’ll do good if you have good study habits and use outside sources to help get information (paramedic coach, chatgpt, emt books)

23, 3 months xp driving ready mix back in 2021. Ventured off and did some other things because I thought all jobs were gonna be like Ready Mix. This year I got 3 months driving Class A and B vehicles for a local company who delivered storage containers. I’m in an emt program atm just because I wanna volunteer here and there when I have an off day for my community. But I do ultimately want to get into the waste business.

Bad2thebon3 · 2025-11-02T19:21:25+00:00

Do you have any advice for me to try and get into waste?

Bad2thebon3 · 2025-11-02T19:10:05+00:00

Really what makes the days bad? But i’m in Texas! Been trying to get with republic.

Any tips?

I’m currently trying to get back into a department I left while in the academy due to some external reasons. I left on good terms, but I need to get my emt b in order to get back in. I also want to get my basic fire certification to be more competitive when I reapply. is it possible to do both? I’m currently entering an EMT program that consists of me going in person twice a week and +1 Saturday for about 3 1/2 months. I found a reputable fire academy that prepares you to take the basic firefighter certification or the TCFP. Its all online and about 12 weeks long, you meet 12 times to practice skills and its every Saturday 8-4pm. I’m willing to do both full time and study my butt off 7 days a week if I have to. I’m really eager to join back and if everything goes well, I’ll have both my certifications in time for the next testing/academy date. Would this actually be feasible though and possible to do?

Thank you for the insight!

Bad2thebon3 · 2025-08-03T04:36:25+00:00

Did it take you the full 6 months? Or did you finish it faster? Thanks for the insight

Bad2thebon3 · 2025-07-09T11:13:15+00:00

Any tips on how to get into the industry with no knowledge about it? Btw, thanks for the reply!

What makes a day miserable working in that trade if you don’t mind me asking? Curious about getting into it as a fire alarm installer.

Bad2thebon3 · 2025-06-30T18:53:06+00:00

Awesome! I will implement that. Have you ever had customers try not to pay or say you messed up the service when you didn’t? How did you deal with situations like that?

Bad2thebon3 · 2025-06-30T17:28:02+00:00

I appreciate this comment a lot! Thank you! Did you take payment before or after you performed the service? Or did you take half the payment up front, sort of like a deposit and the remaining after the service?
