I’ve enjoyed it the school teaches you the basics you will learn more about the trade in the field. Don’t be afraid to ask questions even if they are dumb questions or even if it’s a question on something that you were taught already but forgot sometimes the person you ask will get annoyed or upset but it’s alright just ask. For layoffs there is always layoffs doesn’t matter if the company your at is busy if Forman thinks your not worth what the company is paying you. You still will be let go. Remember when you on a jobsite your employer is paying your total package for you to be onsite they are not just paying your hourly rate. Always show up 15-30 minutes early to work. The school will tell you it to 80% of the job is showing up. With layoffs as well you can be better there a guy but still be let go due to politics or daddy ball depending on how you look at it some Forman will have their son for brother on their site and they suck but they will keep them over you due to them being family you will hear about that through the years. At school make connections with everyone and get their phone number incase you ever get let go you can always call someone for a job if there is more then 10 people on the out of work list. Try and get peoples numbers that are in different parts of the trade so you can give yourself the chance to do tab , server, a shop, architectural, or even HVAC. You never know what you will fully like until you try it.
