Date: May 12th, 2012 12:17 PM Author: curious mauve cruise ship Going to college and law school was a serious, serious mistake. But at the time, how the fuck could I know? Everyone looks down their nose at options like this and would have looked at me like I had two fucking heads if, as a smart guy, I decided to be an electrician. "What, of course that's not what you should do, you should go to college because your smart and follow your dreams and become a millionaire president."

A close family member makes absolute bank with his own electrical contracting business but he's the type of guy who walks in the room and everyone likes. |

|
Date: May 12th, 2012 12:53 PM Author: jet swollen piazza telephone guarantee that is not the case. you have to breathe mixed gases at serious depth, which being more difficult and taxing, is where these guys are the most highly paid.
imagine a freezing cold, pitch black, electronically managed environment where one fuckup could lead to a painful, dark death. deep pressure welding is fucking terrible for you and terrifying. those pros get paid up the nose by oil companies because it's an unsustainable career. you would probably be shaken to the core by one trip down a platform - not that you would be able to do it in the first place. |

|
Date: May 12th, 2012 12:35 PM Author: curious mauve cruise ship So what? 125k is pretty damn good. Plus there is at least 7 extra years of earning right from the start, and huge debt and interest that eats up your extra earnings. And one of the biggest things is that you had to go through all kinds of stress and mental effort whereas the electrician does something relatively easy on the mind and much more relaxing and enjoyable. Also, do you feel like you are set for life yet in terms of job security or you could still fall off the train at any moment? I've started in midlaw and don't feel secure at all. At the very least, you'll probably take a huge pay cut some time soon. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1946832&forum_id=2#20675966) |

Date: May 12th, 2012 12:52 PM Author: Duck-like theatre Most electricians learn their trade in a 4-year apprenticeship. For each year of the program, apprentices must complete at least 144 hours of technical training and 2,000 hours of paid on-the-job training. In the classroom, apprentices learn electrical theory, blueprint reading, mathematics, electrical code requirements, and safety and first-aid practices. They also may receive specialized training related to soldering, communications, fire alarm systems, and elevators. Because of this comprehensive training, those who complete apprenticeship programs qualify to do both construction and maintenance work.
After completing an apprenticeship program, electricians are considered to be journey workers and may perform duties on their own.
Several groups, including unions and contractor associations, sponsor apprenticeship programs. The basic qualifications to enter an apprenticeship program are as follows:
Minimum age of 18 High school education or equivalent One year of algebra Qualifying score on an aptitude test Drug free

|
Date: May 12th, 2012 12:53 PM Author: Duck-like theatre The median annual wage of electricians was $48,250 in May 2010. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $29,400, and the top 10 percent earned more than $80,890.
The starting pay for apprentices usually is between 30 percent and 50 percent of what fully trained electricians make, receiving pay increases as they gain more skill.

Date: May 12th, 2012 12:55 PM Author: Umber persian theater stage Father is a union electrician. He was still an apprentice at 20 and only made like 20/hr. Still good w/o a college education. He had periods of time in my childhood where he was out of work for 6 months-year. Only when I went to college did he find a stable job as an electrician that paid 100K+ and that was through pure luck.
If not flame, 120k/yr at 20 is not typical. |

seriously though, $120K is obviously not realistic for anything but a master electrician. fact remains, blue collar skilled labor fucking pwns when you consider the barriers to entry and lifestyle. |

I know many electricians and welders in top market unionized cities such as NYC.
You can do well, but you do not make that much. Not at all...
If you go out on your own, you can make $100+ easy being an electrician, plumber, whatever, but that's after years of working with blue collar, uneducated, shit heads and sticking your hands in nigger's toilets... |

They're still depressed, for all intents and purposes - building has not resumed and many, many of these guys are out of jobs altogether. To act like any Joe 6 Pack can just waltz into these fields and make bank is absolutely fucking ridiculous. The majority of "trained" carpenters are still jobless at this point.
