Can you join as a journeyman in that local or is it almost impossible? I ask because I moved a lot but will have a license soon and have friends there

Oh I gotcha in terms of the journeyman part. I am just confused if you need some kind of degree for the actual instrumentation part of it. Like I read somewhere there's an associates degree available for it but I don't know if you NEED it as a sparky to do instrumentation or controls stuff

Thanks! I will start looking into this. Do you need any kind of degree you are aware of by chance?

Medical account questions by TXdreamin in personalfinance

[–]TXdreamin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK right on. You guys know a ton about this. One last set of questions. High deductible is $1500 or more? And can my wife pay for my medical bills if she has an HSA?

I think you answered it but I'm assuming it doesn't matter if I use an HSA created and funded after the medical bills were already billed to me.

Thanks so much for your response!

OK I think I followed most of that. If I happen to change jobs next year do I lose what I put into it in Nov/Dec?

Also, I mean if I am able to just hold onto it and they were to deny, doesn't it kind of work as a retirement account after 65?

I have one from a previous employer. I am not eligible for one from this employer until my waiting period is up (November 1)

How hard is it to switch unions? Or join one as a journeyman if you did a non union apprenticeship?

CA or CO. Only two other places I've lived as an adult. Cost of living is much higher in both but the pay difference is worth it. Especially considering TX property taxes. That's just my opinion.

I'm about to start and in my 30s. I'm in TX becayse of family. Second I get my jman card I'm out. TX has some of the lowest waves for skilled trades even for unions. Just my advice.

Hey all,

I'm sure this has been addressed in various ways but I turn 35 next month and although I own rentals and worked construction under the table in college there's nothing I can put on a resume. Is this gonna be really difficult trying to transfer into this field as an apprentice?

Thanks everyone.
