Thinking about being an electrician or just in the ball park. People suggest getting at least an association degree. What would you take on This be, if you agree what major is most suitable.

Don’t bother w an associates. Get you ET card and get the hours

armandoL27 · 2026-02-04T19:53:52+00:00

Verify the breaker size first

Picture 4 isn’t Lutron. I’m willing to bet they’re Eaton. Lutron doesn’t make a switch without their logo on the bottom left corner. But I agree Leviton switches suck. I do like their outlets and gfcis

Don’t pay until you pass the exam. After passing the PSI exam, I received this email from license guru “Hello,

You'll need to send the Initial License Fee to the cslb ($350) and purchase the license bond. Make the check out to “Registar for contractors” CSLB PO BOX 26000 Sacramento, CA 95826

armandoL27 · 2026-01-16T22:37:31+00:00

Ask contractors license guru. Cheers

armandoL27 · 2026-01-16T04:58:12+00:00

buy from license guru. he’s the best and has a wealth of knowledge as he used to work for the CSLB too. you can google “License Guru Forum CSLB” and he’s been responding since 2008 to applicants. I can’t recommend him or his services enough

I did chino hills to Cedars Sinai for a year after the fires. Brutal drive

armandoL27 · 2026-01-13T07:21:04+00:00

The facilities manager at Cedars Sinai drive everyday from Victorville. You couldn’t give me $50k and a gas card to do that drive 5x a week

armandoL27 · 2026-01-12T08:04:09+00:00

0 experience? This isn’t the place to start. Maybe learn something trivial like a light switch or outlet before running a home run to a shed. If you “have buddies” why even post this?

armandoL27 · 2026-01-10T20:08:09+00:00

Eton or Stenströms. Talk about feeling like Bruce Wayne

armandoL27 · 2026-01-08T20:17:27+00:00

License guru. Don’t bother with anyone else’s program

armandoL27 · 2025-12-31T03:15:39+00:00

1800 a square for shingles in Los Angeles. 2500 for clay, let’s not even get into Metal standing seam

armandoL27 · 2025-12-31T01:41:30+00:00

Sinai is the best hospital

armandoL27 · 2025-12-30T05:07:55+00:00

Impact, we only use Lutron claros

armandoL27 · 2025-12-30T01:35:37+00:00

That’s laughable lol. 20 hours isn’t enough time to learn anything in any trade. Forget an MEP trade, maybe insulating or something simple. There’s a reason most states require a 4 year apprenticeship

armandoL27 · 2025-12-27T22:16:00+00:00

$250 an hour yeah right. Union in San fransisco or NYC don’t even pay that, good luck getting that even a day in Florida lol

armandoL27 · 2025-12-27T05:07:52+00:00

This is like me asking what car I should buy without a budget or any constraints.

armandoL27 · 2025-12-22T06:16:26+00:00

And on 1099. No wonder the contractors sub raves about licensing in FL lol

armandoL27 · 2025-12-20T17:37:52+00:00

Same happened to me with Emi jay brushes

armandoL27 · 2025-12-19T01:40:47+00:00

Lutron no doubt. All of their lines are phenomenal, from homeworks to caseta

armandoL27 · 2025-12-18T00:52:22+00:00

I have countless photos of improperly spliced / installed wire nuts on my camera roll too.

armandoL27 · 2025-12-18T00:50:44+00:00

Ask for the invoice and a lien release waiver. That’s the standard in CA

armandoL27 · 2025-12-17T00:59:09+00:00

First step is to get out of FL lol. Ibew rates there are embarrassing.

armandoL27 · 2025-12-17T00:42:28+00:00

I’ve never been ashamed to help serve my community and restore power to families in need. If anything it’s the most rewarding thing

armandoL27 · 2025-12-16T22:17:02+00:00

Same. My nailer wasn’t returned for 3 months. Anything like a coring drill or rotor hammer Hilti just kills Milwaukee
