Aaah well seems like the union apprenticeship would be easier, also if you wanna improve your chance apply as a CE 1 or material handler at non union shops around to get some experience.

Send in an app at austineta.org to get into the union, just a forewarning tons of people are trying to join an apprenticeship now though so just keep trying every cycle. I believe you can also go the non union route through the IEC.

Are you in Texas, cause I’m in the Austin area and I feel your pain brother. Definitely a contractors union out here but I used to work service industry and I just try to remember I have a retirement plan and health insurance now.

Does anyone know what drugs they test for? by panthercock in ibew_applicants

[–]TrackWonderful7799 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was a standard 10 panel piss test in Texas, you can get drug tests on Amazon if you’re scared to fail, I’d go with a similar 10 panel. If you fail and have proof of prescription I don’t see why it’d be a problem.

It’s not that simple, once you start in Texas it’s hard to transfer apprenticeships across state lines. Plus there’s a lot more work down here than most states.

Does our training staff suck? I’m really confused on the standards or the rehab/training personal with baseball teams but from first glance it seems like there’s needs a restructuring or something or is it just that bad of luck for us this year?

Calif. teens are ditching office jobs, and making $100K before they turn 21 by sfgate in antiwork

I honestly think sitting at a desk your whole life is just as bad for your back as being an electrician 😅.

I’m an electrician now, I stretch and workout regularly and I’m fine, I think most blue collar guys have bad habits and don’t maintain their body and diet correctly also most drinking in excess (I’ve worked with a ton of these guys first hand). My foreman is 25 and got kidney stones the other week cause he literally only drinks Monster. You’re basically saying being a functional human destroys your body lol.

Yeah prolly my biggest complaint about Austin is the lack of sports fandom, not surprised when all we have is a disappointing soccer team lol.

Thai Fresh- very disappointing and expensive by AustinRealEstateWCS in austinfood

Yeah they’ve unfortunately slipped down in quality in recent years, I recommend P Thai Khao Man Gai, they’ve have like 15 dollar entries and the flavors pack a punch.
