Going to school currently at my local community college to get my certificate in Electrical construction technology wish me lucky I’m bouta be 30 years old it’s never too late fellas the sooner the better though so I’d recommend getting into a trade asap

Don't let age stop you if you really want to do it. I'm 42, was losing my mind sitting behind a desk all day, so I took the leap and now I'm 6 mths into my 1st yr as an apprentice. I also know a 51 yr old who's going into her 5th yr. I do wish I would've started when I was younger, but I probably would've thrown away the opportunity. Everything happens at the right time. Thanks for the video, very motivating.

I got laid off from Tesla last month May 5th, 2024 after 3 years of hard work with no given notice. I was out of town working for them while this happened btw. I immediately enrolled into school to get my CDL’s because I didn’t want to just sit around and do nothing. My third week into school, the union finally called me back up after 2 years to see if I’m still interested in the program. Well I just finished my OSHA training on Sunday and I’m already starting my 5 year apprenticeship with IBEW Local 11. Long story short, never loose faith and never give up on what you want! Stay true to yourself, put god first and you’ll never loose.

Update!!! - 4+ months after posting this comment - I was accepted into my local's apprenticeship program and am officially a sister! I did it!!! Been working 2 weeks now, school starts in September. Best decision I ever ever made. Thank you Mad Electrician for the push your video gave me to give me and my kids a better life! Thank you thank you thank you⚡💪🥹

Wow wow wow. Cannot believe i randomly stumbled upon your video, it really is a sign! I'm 34, a single mom, starting my life over and have been heavily considering heading to my local IBEW to start this same journey. I'm very encouraged now, thank you so much for this!

Just turned 30 in June and I’ve been panicking every day thinking I didn’t have hope for a career. I started seeing your vids and I’m trying to take it as a sign that it’s what I need to do. I don’t consider myself smart so college always intimidated me but learning on the job is reassuring to me that it’s fine not knowing.

I do agree with your statements. The sooner you start the better it will be for your career. I started at 18 straight out of high school. Graduated the apprenticeship at 23. Dream big my friends, everything is achievable. Aspiring project manager here for non union

I’ve been watching your videos for 3 years patiently trying to get into the IBEW and now I am 6 months into my apprenticeship. I can genuinely say that I love what I do!

[cristophersoriano]

My goal for this year is to get into an electrician apprenticeship!

[schwarg]

I'm going to turn 35 this year and have gone through something of an early midlife crisis. I feel the need to change careers to something I can actually find useful to humanity and fulfilling to me personally. I've always had family ambitions and the handsome pay really stands out to me. I just hope I'm not too old.

This video might have saved my life from stress and anxiety about the future…thank you ❤

Looking into getting into the apprenticing program after finishing up an Electronic Engineering Technology Degree. Local 48! Thank for you being such an awesome resource for those who are interested in becoming an electrician.

I’m 32 years old about to start my apprenticeship.. I’ll be heading to Taylor Texas next Monday, for orientation. I’ll be working at a Samsung plant, starting off with cable tray & EMT conduit. I’m excited to learn the trade and eventually master it!

[WolfAngelRS]

$60 per hour!?! Bruh this alone just changed my career path alone, even if it was $30-$40 per hour; it’s still great!

[emmanuelpacheco]

Was literally going to ask and see when they're hiring today, this is definitely a sign. Your videos are very helpful so thank you.

I’m 30 from NH, and going to my local IBEW union for my interview in a few days. Changing careers and starting from the bottom again is a bit nerve-wracking, but I think, by the end of it, it will be completely worth it.

[GandalfTheSilver]

I got offerred an apprenticeship, this video convinced me to agree.

[shawn]

I live in Maine, 28, currently work a white collar job. After watching your videos I’m definitely going to look into the IBEW in my area and see about doing an apprenticeship. ✊🏻

Topped out last spring out of LU 24. Best career decision I've ever made. Love showing your videos to the sparkies on jobs and I have taken a ton of your tips to apply in the field (Especially the measuring tape trick for kick 90s)
