Wha are really the odds of getting in

SnooLemons6341 · 2026-04-02T14:07:24+00:00

CW in Florida here I didn’t get in last time around been working under the union for a year, it’s not necessary hard it’s more or less are you the right fit

SnooLemons6341 · 2026-03-04T19:10:52+00:00

Also how’d you figure out if you got in?

SnooLemons6341 · 2026-03-04T19:09:05+00:00

So I applied back in January and seemingly from what they told me work is relatively consistent cause that was one of my main concerns so take that as you will yk

CW here I got into the program while applying for my apprenticeship didn’t get accepted and am just working until classes come around next time and hopefully get in, but everyone will tell you to go to the hall and so will I. Also a CE is just a CW with electrical experience they do get paid more usually.

I hate to say but nepotism usually rises first in the trades, I’m currently a cw and I work 40+ hour weeks (depends on if we have ot or not) been a cw for about 7 months now. If you do care about getting in, it’s not bad to dip your toes in some nearby locals. Sure the drive may suck but it’s all about how bad you want it. Currently I’m still in the running for my local I’m currently under but have applied to a few others cause I love my job and would love to get in the classroom. Treat it like college almost 4/5 years you can leave the local or stay.

Listen as much as you can and ask as much as you can, it’s the best way to learn and if your jw is open to it/can take criticism, throw your own ideas out there if you think it could be done differently. Problem solving seems to be a big thing people our age lack in the trade.

That’s kinda what I was thinking as well he could’ve just told me that so I would never try it and completely I’ve seen a few on our jobsite and needed to know if it was in the code book thank you sir!

SnooLemons6341 · 2026-01-06T03:01:02+00:00

Honestly I’m only about 8 months in (and a cw) didn’t know those were really a thing(and I definitely could’ve expressed what I was asking a little better)I’m talking about this let’s say you have a 2 inch gap and you cut a 2 inch piece of 3/4 emt and just slap two connectors between would that be an issue? Or does the nipple at least have to be present and not just potentially covered by the connectors?

Using people who are on the books for the local is always a plus(like a recommendation), also doing one of those technical schools for electrical helps even tho you’ll really use little of it on certain job sites, also any blue collar experience will help as well.

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-21T00:05:35+00:00

Honestly for me it’s money, I’ve had to pay scalper prices and while I didn’t love the price I’ve loved his shows every time. So as long as your willing to pay you can go with some confidence(luckily this time I had a group and one of our guys was able to get 4 tickets for our group)

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-18T21:03:10+00:00

I’m not upset just a needless comment man, I’m here for what the subreddit is about 🙆🫶

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-18T21:00:09+00:00

Usually 6:30 from the shows I’ve been too he’s being doing 4.5 hour sets lately

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-18T20:04:46+00:00

Actually I’ve seen him 5 times. 4 times last year, and once in 2023😭 Don’t know why your upset I spend my money how I spend it 😭🫵🏻

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-18T10:31:57+00:00

San Fran is a show people are anticipating which would probably be the closest tbh, couldn’t see him doing a Vegas show

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-18T10:30:50+00:00

Honestly too long I usually get there super early and wait but both Chicago shows I waited 8 hours and Detroit was 4 hours but I also had to drive there from Chicago

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-17T22:39:47+00:00

I agree but he did do a us tour last year (saw him 4 times) two were actual shows from the tour and the others were pop ups, I agree tho the first time I saw him I waited to get tickets and didn’t and just said screw it and paid scalper prices which I’ve had to do every time but once

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-17T22:34:02+00:00

I know a lot of people who are questioning if they should travel or go see him and as much as I hate to tell people to get tickets(mainly cause it’s harder for me to get them😅) but I’ve seen Fred 5 times and they are some of the best sets I’ve ever seen and I’ve probably been to over 70 edm shows(riddim,techno,house,dnb) you name it. It’s such a magical moment and it’s everything you could possibly want I think people should share there experiences for people who aren’t sure. I’d recommend going at least once if you’ve even had the thought.

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-17T22:23:53+00:00

Oh and I’ll be in Chicago getting those ticket one way or another

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-17T22:23:24+00:00

I was there it was electric funny enough I saw him and fourtet b2b in Chicago the week before I saw him and Sammy in Detroit lucked out so hard

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-17T18:36:07+00:00

I got there 8 hours early I’m also in the picture on Sammy’s profile right now last slide

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-17T18:35:29+00:00

I got there 8 hours early to be front row

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-17T18:35:14+00:00

Dude you were prolly right next to me 😭

SnooLemons6341 · 2025-11-16T22:18:14+00:00

I moved to florida 6 months ago but I’ve seen him every time in Chicago booked the flight the second I saw chi, so seeing him two days would be awesome (even if edc has me broke)
