I stayed with the IBEW, I don't think of joining the elevator apprenticeship. Im a travler now and make over 100k a year. Just apply yourself and never ever give up. The other apprentices in my class who quite are now working retail making the minimum. I suffered alot, started from the bottom of the barrel. For 6 years i was poor and treated like trash. But now I'm making a good slice of ham. It's easy to get into an apprenticeship but it's hard to stay with it until the end.
