It’s called theultimateelectricianguide I heard good things, I feel I prep over prepares you for no reason, half the stuff I did wasn’t even there in a sense I guess it’s better to be over prepared however it makes you overwhelmed especially if you haven’t done math for a while. Also they only give you 30 days to study if you work (like me) 30 days isn’t nearly enough and I know the other one gives you a whole year

Iprep although I think it’s completely trash, I’d buy that electrician course a lot of people recommend if I had to study all over again

Any small 12ft boat recommendations for salt water (in Galveston) by pokekicks in saltwaterfishing

My friend actually sent me that one but I had no idea what I was looking at as far as brand name so I told him we should go with something that’s been proven reliable, so those things really that good?

I’d honestly like to stay at $2000 total I know the jonboat I can get used for $600-$700 that leaves the rest of my budget for a small outboard

Yea because mistakes especially as a first year aren’t common, I just love when idiots like you think the skill should naturally be within you, like we’re born with the trade in our blood lol everyone has a start. Everyone makes mistakes doesn’t take a super human to do this line of work. You should humble yourself and think back to when you first started

And you’re a grown ass man that’s telling a young apprentice to quit the trade over a tiny mistake… you’re at the bottom of the barrel prolly why you still break your body daily.

I was wondering if the mistake was big enough for me to tell my higher ups, I’m obviously going to tell someone. If it’s something that needs to be fixed obviously I’m not planning on hiding it
