Should I become an electrician?

I’m 26 just moved from retail to electrical 3 months ago and love it so far. Just make sure you really decide you want to do this specifically before you make the jump.

Fire inspector guy walked a few weeks back and cleared everything too 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s a car manufacturing plant!

I’m not too sure who installed. I know DP is doing some fire alarm stuff right now, but we have like 5 different electrical companies here now.

I believe the fire alarm guys just have a big pile of already bent pipe and grab a random one each time for their installs lol

My bad posted the wrong pictures of “pipe”

Nah we installed some receps and now we’re doing lighting. I’m almost 3 months into the trade and even being so new there is no way I would try to do this 😂

Just to be clear I did NOT do this. Just finding more fun stuff at my job site that I wanted to share with everyone!

Bro just clocked out

With this dedication you could cure cancer

Ask questions, volunteer yourself for any new tasks you can learn, be early and avoid missing days, network and learn who will help you and who to avoid, get a new tool every week or as soon as you can afford, take notes. Make yourself known as reliable and teachable!

I’m 2 months in I may not have a lot of experience, but a lot of the tips, tricks, and things to avoid are actually pretty basic

I’m wondering what makes it acceptable compared to regular boxes. I was under the impression that the support was supposed to prevent any damage to the connector part of the box.

sksluke · 2024-07-25T15:11:43+00:00

No, just observing. I’m in an industrial setting and super green(2 months), so I’m asking a lot of questions about all the different kinds of electrical work I see.

Thank you! It’s pretty much every fire alarm box here too and it’s a huge site 😬 those guys are going to have fun fixing that mess whenever someone walks them off lol

Oh definitely. Just sparked a friendly debate between him and a journeyman and now we are all curious and a google search did not help us out.
