Shay replied to Josh Clark's discussion Berating an Elder?"Talk to the guy. Don't be rude and don't be soft. Just ask him what is going on. Offer help if you can help him or offer the guy a way out of doing it. Like instead of doing A&B why don't you do C&D. C&D is the task that…"

Chris Hamm replied to Shay's discussion What is the best way to become an electrician?"Do lineman follow a similar path; ie apprentice, journeyman, master or is it more school based? Where would be a good place to find job opportunities in my area? Call the local union?"

I am currently employed in an office job. however, I want to be an electrician. Because of financial responsibilities and having to support my family I can not just dive into this. I need to make the transition in such a way that it does not affect my household in a negative way. I have tried to get into the IBEW apprenticeship program but they are not accepting any new applicants at this time and there is no word on when they will. I have thought of going to a trade school.
