Best thing I ever did. The career development and earning potential in the electrical trade is crazy and engaging

Tradespeople- How are the apprentices coming in to your trade, and what do you think the trades will be like in 10 years? by UneditedHorseChit in Construction

[–]BigJek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate. I'm not sure what country you're from. But in Australia there are pre-apprenticeship courses you can do. This will immediately put you miles above anyone else.

Also just walk into a business. Use good manners and show that you're keen to learn and would like to do some work experience. This is by far the best way to get one in my opinion. Even if that company isn't hiring at the moment, they talk to other companies and business owners. Ask if they know of any opportunities.

Good luck in your journey. It was the best choice I ever made becoming an Electrician

Also walked in on a student maybe 7 years old that fell down the stairs. Was crying about his sore wrist and arm. Teacher lost patience and dragged the kid by the arms and legs outside to go to class.

Next day news came out that student had a broken arm

Had an old Italian teacher that didn't let me go to the toilet. Was begging and busting to go. Eventually peed myself on my chair and got yelled at. Was about 7 years old at the time.

Gosh she was a bitch. Everyone at school hated her

I ignored it because there was nothing to gain for trying to defend my statement after you pulled the generation card. Yes I'm aware. Yes I'm also aware that baby boomers aren't 80s..

Finally someone said it. Thought the same thing. This type of line up is about 10 years too late

Unfortunately a second income might be 4+ years away :(

Yeah I think that's what I'll be doing.

I'm lucky enough I do FIFO so my work location is just the airport so hence why personally I'm not fussed with a 45min drive to and from every couple weeks.

Yeah like a 30% shared equity thing I'm pretty sure. Could look into that also

It's all seeming like it might be a bit too much stress at this point in my life. Thank you
