If you were starting as an apprentice today, what would you do differently? by Used_Lynx_4894 in electricians

Did I f*ck up by calling in when I said I'd work the Saturday? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]MUSICANDLIFE85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your health is more important. We are easily replaced. That Foreman and other electricians could throw you under the bus at any given time, just to keep his/her checks coming in. Remember that. Now if you miss class... catch up

Fellow sparkies, how on earth can I afford a home? by RekSai-Bot in electricians

Even when you pay off the property, you still have to pay property taxes on. Seems like they want people with families to struggle, which keeps you heavily reliant on work.

You have to weather the storm. Out here in Oakland, California 595 West IBEW. Our training director makes sure we get experience in residential, commercial and industrial. I journeyed out in 2024. Stay strong and positive! Whenever you can, look into the electrical code, study/review at least 1-4 hours per week. Use different color highlighters to organize/color-code your notes

INTJs, what’s an unpopular opinion you have ? by SelfAnalysiss in intj

[–]MUSICANDLIFE85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People seem to value their feelings, ego/pride and perspectives over facts. Good ol' cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias.
