"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…"

"Mine is simple, "Always forward, Never backward." It motivates me to focus on my goals and not my mistakes. When I'm feeling lazy or tired it gets me started on the task i don't want to do."

"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?"

"Apprenticeships often require you starting at a wage which is 40 - 60% that of Journeyman wages. As you progress your wages increase, usually every 6 months. For example, you might start at 10.00 an hour, and by year 4 make 20.00 an hour. Where I…"

"Well, my father is an electrician. If you would like some insight about the trade I can answer general questions or ask him specifics. Anything to help. I'm new and hoping to contribute."

What is the best way to become an electrician?

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.
