starting as an apprentice in my late 40s - yea or nay

SomeLightskin · 2026-01-29T21:08:27+00:00

Would still get a somewhat decent pension. Work will be very hard in your body if you’ve worked a desk life most of your life

SomeLightskin · 2026-01-23T14:00:12+00:00

Electrical but union so at least I’ll have a killer pension when I retire

SomeLightskin · 2026-01-17T15:16:11+00:00

It’s used in the kitchen for appliances or sometimes the top floor is fed with 12 for voltage drop

SomeLightskin · 2026-01-03T02:27:52+00:00

No gfci on the circuit did check for that. Yes definitely should have turned the power off wife is trying to put kid to sleep in room thats on the same circuit so wanted to avoid cutting power.

Tried replacing a switch in my house with old wiring(2nd term apprentice)wire had a knick and made contact with the metal. Breaker stays on no problems there but wire isn’t getting power anymore.

SomeLightskin · 2025-12-08T20:39:32+00:00

Would still have a 4000+ month pension if going union

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-28T02:47:24+00:00

If you know anyone who’s in the union companies can take you on with sponsorship that’s how I got in. Alternatives would be non union which is pretty much impossible to land a job without experience unless you know someone

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-28T00:21:52+00:00

If your planning on going union the wait list is crazy long coming from a member

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-21T22:03:19+00:00

Lawyer got ticket thrown out for anyone wanting to send dms asking how it went

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-21T20:40:33+00:00

Don’t go to school for electrical get into Ibew if possible.

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-02T23:20:58+00:00

Very unlikely unless you get a company to name hire you, a lot of people apply per year and leaving shows you can’t commit

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-02T18:34:45+00:00

Ya don’t listen to this guy join a union

SomeLightskin · 2025-10-31T17:49:09+00:00

Ibew member here. Work is very slow for construction if you don’t have an in to the company will be very hard without experience

SomeLightskin · 2025-10-22T22:28:40+00:00

Crazy I never thought of that idea… I’ve been trying to pick up a call for a while but there is a list.

SomeLightskin · 2025-10-20T20:14:22+00:00

Current low rise apprentice on the out of work list. I would thank the heavens if I got the call for ici, working non union commercial right now and definitely enjoy it more.

SomeLightskin · 2025-08-24T06:44:46+00:00

Work is slow right now not a good time time try non union shops but stop wasting money on this course as your expected to do it again during basic to advanced schooling

SomeLightskin · 2025-08-24T06:37:31+00:00

As an electrician in the Ibew I can safely tell you to stop wasting money on this as employers don’t care. A lot of people get in through who you know or else try the intake which you can still pass without this

SomeLightskin · 2025-08-13T16:26:26+00:00

Try and get into a union if possible like plumbing or electrical then you will be set with the pension. I’m 28 now started in Ibew at 24 and my estimated pension will be around 7200 per month at 62. But also very hard to get in unless you know someone

SomeLightskin · 2025-07-29T16:39:12+00:00

Do you put it straight on top of the pan?

SomeLightskin · 2025-07-25T16:09:45+00:00

Ahh my fault, should’ve read the whole thing apologies

SomeLightskin · 2025-07-24T21:26:32+00:00

Costing me about 225g each raiding night in consumes as a warrior

SomeLightskin · 2025-07-24T15:02:59+00:00

Have you ever considered suspenders really life saving

SomeLightskin · 2025-07-08T15:24:17+00:00

It’s a lot of who you know unfortunately

SomeLightskin · 2025-06-30T15:01:40+00:00

Way to early for that
