As an apprentice you'll love a broom.
As a full blown electrician you'll never touch a broom again

I start my apprenticeship next Monday, I’m glad to be getting into a trade now (I’m 18 right out of high school)

[jonathansirmons]

It's easy to shine if you work hard and pay attention. 4 years in and a licensed Master Electrician and business owner

Gonna apply for a apprenticeship

33 yo female and thinking of starting this apprenticeship im so tired of jobs and university was a bust … I feel this is a trade and life skill

[robertdeforest]

Man, your college story sounds exactly like mine. I was there for a year and made some terrible life decisions, tanked my grades, and decided to leave. Instead of going into the trades I jumped into the military and spent the next 7 years becoming Journeymen level at my MOS. Now I'm getting out in less than a year and looking at getting into the trades, your videos are super helpful in my search. Stay safe brother

I’m 36 and looking to get into an electrical apprenticeship. It’s never too late

[dudemanmanguy]

It was a rough road starting at 32 but it’s going great now about to journey out here in Oregon

This helped me out a lot! Im 18 and will be joining the electrical union in just a few months. I cant wait! Thank you!

Went on to NYS DOL website and waited till they were recruiting. Waited in line with thousands of guys, Brought paperwork, took an aptitude test, oral interview in front of the board, and was selected 1 of 50. Local 25 IBEW apprentice going into my third year, well worth it. Experience going in helped me.

Hey man, thanks for this video. I'm 26 and currently lost in life which has caused some severe anxiety the last few months. College didn't work out and neither did the military (did my enlistment and got out) and I'm looking at electric. Admittedly, the trades are a whole new world to me and like you said in your video, it is something I'm also not sure if I'm cut out for or will enjoy and I have been trying to avoid them, but I also know I won't truly know unless I try and I'm running out of options. I'm sick of my dead end office job and want to make something of myself. I'm just so nervous man

Just turned 29 and I went to school for E&I and the jobs are just not happening got laid off when Covid hit in 2020. Hard to find work since then because of "not enough experience". I’m applying for apprenticeship jobs now and getting a gym membership to lose some weight as well. Cheers to all!

[foulestcomet]

I think going through a apprenticeship right now is the correct move. Electricians are needed everywhere and sadly i feel and its only my opinion it's starting to become a dying industry cause people dont wanna mess with electricial work.

[therealbdbeatz]

Thank you for all of the information. I was doing some research and recently considering a career as an electrician too.

[swayiglesias]

About the trade school… I start my electrical apprenticeship in a couple weeks and they’re actually making me take the class at our local trade school. They’ll pay for the 4 year class too so I’m not complaining haha. Many trade companies here in Utah will pay and make you go through the class at this local trade school

[theanointedonemimeministry]

I went straight into union local 177 but I signed up for the apprentice because they hired me back on im loving it because in the near future benefits and good money will come the more I learn

Local Union #3 NYC! I had a great career there, unbelievably great mechanics, and life long Brothers! No other trade like it.

[buckshot]

Just started my 30th year in the IBEW, I got in the apprenticeship back in 1993. I’ve been lucky, only been laid off for total of 3-4 weeks and worked within 30 miles of my house. Through the union the contractors have no say, have to apply through the NJATC of that particular local. Difference between non union and union is one has pensions and good wage

[joshuamedrano]

Great vid ! I am also an Electrician apprentice and currently on my second year. I also got very lucky working as a service electrician. Thinking about enrolling in school.

Awesome video for a young man. My son just graduated from highschool and he's beginning a helper program in July with IBEW 134 preparing him for a career with 134. He excited and ready to jump in. Keep up the great videos. Congrats to you!
