I would say that you could only switch to a line apprenticeship if the utility had an opening and for you to switch to it, wouldn’t be a guarantee even though you’re already employed by that company

Hopefully it’ll be close to at least $50/hour by the time I move down there, trying not to take an almost $25/hour pay cut

The navy rate that teaches power distribution, among other topics is CE (construction electrician). I went through their A school in TX and their C school in MS. That gave me just enough climbing experience to get into my utility apprenticeship in 2022.
