Beyond the pay, there's so many perks other jobs can't (or won't) offer. Congrats and good luck. What local does he work out of? yeah it took to over a year or so to get in. It was quite the process to get in for my local. Thats what I liked about it. If I was going to leave teaching, I wanted to do something that was equally or better. My thought too is if 10years or so I get the teaching itch again, I could go to a career/tech program and teach as electrician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosper. My friend got on so many more jobs, and at a higher rate than his fellow journeyman who didn't have it, based on that one certificate. ThAts what I have been told too.

My dude made six figures wiring the fire suppression system for the server room at the Amazon facility here in Columbus. 15 hours ago, buno67 said: What local does he work out of? I think it's 187; whatever the Columbus local is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
