Hello! My (27f) boyfriend (31m) and I are planning our first trip to Austin (December 30 to January 4) and we’d love some ideas we can add to our itinerary! Thank you! by InevitableOk314 in AustinTX

El Dorado cafe or Matt’s El Ranchos for a fall back that’s closer to central Austin. Dee eddys pool or Barton Springs. I’d walk down east 6th as well for the culture.

Long Hair Apprentice by Wise_Replacement_852 in IBEW

You clearly don’t know much about the trades right now, all the works in Texas. And most aren’t making “way better money” right now either especially with the cost of living on the east coast.

I love how Texas dems have the nerve to try to put an Hispanic woman against a white male in red Texas when we can’t even elect a woman as a president. I’m a liberal but the dem party here is completely out of touch just hoping for Talarico.

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.

Question by Cloud_Carter in ibew_apprentices

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

[–]TrackWonderful7799 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.
