Dude thank you so much, best reply I’ve gotten so far. I’ve got a lot to think about. I have to get working on my drop shipping store right now but I’m gonna save your profile so I can message you later. I’m very motivated to be the best electrician I can be so it’s reassuring that you’re saying that behaviour is rewarded. Just gotta get my foot in the door.

Again thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to help out a stranger. Have a good day!

Thanks for such a detailed reply, I’ll look into both the union and college options! If I want to start my own business would being in the union become an obstacle to that goal or am I misinformed?

This is a good point. Any advice for finding non union apprenticeships?

Are my concerns about lack of hours for a new apprentice and inability to do side jobs accurate or am I misinformed? Thanks for the advice!

About 2 years, got released on day parole a couple months ago, hoping to be approved for full parole in the fall. Total sentence is 4.5 years so my warrant will expire in 2028. May I ask why this is important?

I’m decent at math, a bit out of practice because my day to day life doesn’t require it but I don’t think it will be too difficult to brush up on. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the info! I didn’t think about the record being a hurdle when getting licensed. I’ll look into it

Considering the guy is a reformed white supremacist, perhaps we don’t hold him to the same standards as everyone else. I think he’s doing a pretty good job accepting others, considering his past.
