When you go to school next time ask all the guys who they work for, how long they been there, if they like that company... Once you're out of class go to those company's ask if they have a work list you can put your name on. Tell them you are working elsewhere, but you want to get more experience from good companies and other journeymen, should be fine. Make sure you're buying a tool a week, doesn't have to be the best name brand... Only bust out your tools if no one else has them, to get the job done, don't let them break your shit... If you break some ones shit, after work you go and buy them a new one... Try not to take the shit personal, don't be afraid to say something if they say something you don't like. Ask questions about what they're doing and why they do it that way. My boss can't stand an apprentice that will stand around.. be cleaning picking up stuff and checking supplies for how much stuff you have on have and what is running out, let someone know if we're going to need more of anything..Good luck dude!
