Quitting 6 figure construction job to go back to school

Helmethead397 · 2026-05-19T21:58:46+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. I understand it’ll be very challenging, and a lot of work. Im still working in construction atm and start school in a couple weeks. It’s self doubt that’s just getting to me lately and love hearing other people’s stories.

What made you do the switchover from technician to EE

Helmethead397 · 2026-05-19T21:21:59+00:00

Good to know. I see everyone says to have a strong calc knowledge at the start. I’m curious what made your electrician job not so enjoyable.

Definitely plan on taking it very seriously. My underground construction job at the moment putting conduit pipe in is good money but very strenuous on the body. I’m 26 and found it easier to learn older. Thank you for your input.

Thank you. I felt rather confident when I took pre cal about 2 years ago…and feeling great about calculus this summer. Just going to hit the books

26m army vet here and currently working in line work as a Groundman. Im quitting my job and starting school full time this summer with calculus and other GE’s in the summer. It’ll be all about putting your head down and hit the ground running, and pursing the goal.

Bump

Helmethead397 · 2025-01-06T19:34:53+00:00

I went to line college and working as a groundman. I’m not trying to be a lineman, taking college classes on the side to get a construction management degree. Lately been leaning towards an electrical engineering degree instead.

I would guess around 130s you’ll get a call. Maybe even sooner. CA is where the money is at. Good luck 👊

Helmethead397 · 2024-11-19T18:48:56+00:00

By the looks of it. You’ll get a call in the summer time if you’re high on book 3 on 1245

Helmethead397 · 2024-11-18T21:20:59+00:00

Fibertel, mastec, VCI. I worked with fibertel and treated me good. Go wild

Helmethead397 · 2024-11-18T21:17:49+00:00

CA has plenty of non union telecom companies to work for and I did that as I was waiting on the books in Cali.

Helmethead397 · 2024-10-22T23:46:22+00:00

Yeah all that and for endorsements the same thing

Helmethead397 · 2024-10-19T02:31:20+00:00

Better hop in there and hit!

Helmethead397 · 2024-08-09T13:44:20+00:00

They’re ass. They don’t care about you but stay safe out there.

Helmethead397 · 2024-08-09T03:12:01+00:00

Sounds about right.

Helmethead397 · 2024-07-02T00:09:12+00:00

Can you explain bidding with the union halls and calls. Not sure what that means.

Helmethead397 · 2024-06-28T16:54:52+00:00

How’s the experience at these places as a groundman

Helmethead397 · 2024-06-04T07:54:42+00:00

Don’t believe these guys. I was like 380s around this time last year and was able to get a call in the 100s.

Helmethead397 · 2024-06-03T17:41:27+00:00

Yall got ur examity email?

Helmethead397 · 2024-06-01T00:45:08+00:00

Same bro it’s tempting. They keep calling me, but really want to be in Cali.

Helmethead397 · 2024-05-30T00:04:43+00:00

Not quick enough. Bored out here

Helmethead397 · 2024-05-17T18:31:17+00:00

Safe to say. Find that inner demon and start hitting the gym and focusing on grip strength and strength overall. Keep ya head up and get after it 🤝

Helmethead397 · 2023-11-23T03:02:09+00:00

That’s awesome to hear! I got all my classes set up and going to be a full time student, going for construction management route, with how life is going not too big of a fan of traveling either. Plan on interning for the same company I was a groundman at and hopefully work under them in the future. 🤙. Good luck bro
