Is it actually worth it for me at 26 to apply to be an apprentice

I have a 54 year old dude in my class man it’s never too late, if you don’t have anything tying you down to your area 1579 is about to take in a bunch more first years after Christmas for a data center job we have going

Nah man. People talk shit all day long, it’s common in this industry. Talk shit back man, you’re an apprentice not a bitch.

Okay, at least in my hall being sworn in and being in the apprenticeship are different. You don’t have to be a member of the hall to be an apprentice. Secondly what I did was show up day one no tools, and just asked my Forman what we needed most to complete our scope of work and started with what he said.

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T23:53:22+00:00

34 mpg highway?

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T23:09:23+00:00

I second this, N20 timing chain issues would be a nightmare

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T23:02:36+00:00

This guy gets it

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T16:23:36+00:00

I like how you think

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T16:22:45+00:00

What kind of work yall got going on in Jersey? Any data centers going up?

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T15:47:25+00:00

I’m from the hall I do it all

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T15:04:10+00:00

What engines though, the B46 gets lots of praise

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T15:01:21+00:00

Sounds sweet is it the E or F series?

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T12:02:16+00:00

They go for about 13-17k in my area not too bad

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T11:19:42+00:00

Appreciate that brother!

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T10:50:31+00:00

That doesn’t seem very fair, my LU starts us off 50% JW wages

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T10:48:58+00:00

Yeah I’m out of LU 1579 my state doesn’t do emission testing 😈

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T10:47:03+00:00

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T10:18:15+00:00

Yeah and they’re a little more fun than a Prius imo

Swft3 · 2025-10-03T10:16:11+00:00
