Great video. I turn 1 year as an apprentice on 6/26/24. Very inspiring stuff my dude. The thing that keeps me going is knowing that too many people want to be influencers and are afraid to get down and dirty with hard work.
Congratulations Brother on hitting your 1 year mark that’s a Big Accomplishment. I was super excited when I hit mine. Thanks for the support just doing the best that I can do, One day at a time!🙏🏽
If you don't mind me askin, how did you start as a apprentice? Did you have experience before choosing this trade? Did you need qualifications? And the main thing I worry about is math. Im horrible at it.
@@Armoni_out_the_way Mon, I didn’t have any experience at all when I first started I was just coming out of retail. I called a lot of the local electrical companies in my area & I applied to place called IEC , INDEPENDENT ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS a company contracted me after & that’s how I got started. I also went to TDLR.com and purchased my Electrical apprentice license for 20 dollars. It took about 5 days to come in.. Hope that helps some, Let me know how everything goes! You got this..🙏🏽
@@Armoni_out_the_way yea for sure man. Im working with a local company in my hometown. The biggest thing is you want to be with a great company that has a great reputation, and electricians with great hands on experience. To be the best you must learn from the best. Big corporations doesn’t always mean better. I would also research if you your state requires you to have an apprenticeship certification before working for a company. In Arizona we don’t. As far as the math goes, it will come with practice. Get a measuring tape and get familiar with measuring. Our friend Stephen here made a video on getting familiar with a measuring tape. For adding fractions i have an app that adds mixed numbers for me. Most of all face any fears that arise.
Good topic to discuss. You not alone in this journey. We are more alike than we are different. My journey was similar to what yours is now. Trusting the process has its moments of difficulty but it will always make you stronger in your faith and in your trade. My wife and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary next month. What I have learned from my experience is to always make time for God and Family before anything else. Other things will come and go but family will have a greater part in life.
Congratulations to you & your wife 30th Anniversary that’s amazing hopefully one day my wife & I can get there.. It’s definitely tough trying to find that balance but trusting in God & Keeping him & my family first is a must.. One day at a time.. Thanks for all of the Advice I really appreciate it.
Hang in there man, in a similar boat. Been doing this for a little over 2 years as a career change. Married with a teenager. Between going to school and studying, balancing the home life is tough. Especially when you have those rough weeks where you are exhausted and just want to pass out when you get home and sleep for the rest of the night. But when you have a family you have to keep it going lol
@@mistakev06 Thanks for the advice Brother, it’s definitely tough at times.. They’re counting on me so I have to keep pushing. You couldn’t have said it any better, keep pushing on your journey also & Thanks again!🙏🏽
I’m starting trade school next week for the electrical program but I don’t see a lot of vids on youtube about it, you inspire me to start my own channel to inform people if it’s worth it or not
Congratulations Alejandro, Enjoy the Journey Brother. So happy for you man, Let me know how the Trade school is & I definitely think it’s great for you to document everything and share your experience with everyone. Thank you for the support & You Got This!🙏🏽
Love your Content dude👍🏻 i was working with Electrician Lead for almost a Year & i gotta say it was tough cause i was brand new to the trade and my Lead wasnt that great at Teaching he had very little patience and sometimes would take his anger out even if it wasnt my fault or had nun to with it 😂 IT SUCKED but im still willing to come back in the Electrical Field
@@kendrickgonzalez7919 I appreciate it Kendrick! I’m glad you’re sticking with it, I’ve had my experience working with people who don’t want to teach you and try to dog you out. Keep pushing Brother don’t let them stop you from achieving your goals..👍🏽
I love seeing brothers in the trades! I been thinking about becoming an electrical apprentice, so recently I made some phone calls and like that 🫰🏿 they told me get my electric apprentice license and come in next month with my documents, tuition, and fill out an app and do orientation. My question is, what’s the next step after you fill out the application? Because it seems to me they’re going to hire me on the spot but I just wanna be sure tho. Also, I agree, it’s TOUGH balancing family, work, studying all that. Team work makes the dream work fa real!
@@BeardGawd88 I appreciate it Brother! Congratulations on your new journey, I really think you’re going to like it, it’s a lot of hard work but I definitely believe it will be worth it in the end. If they seem like they’re going to hire you on the spot I would possibly start looking at getting some affordable hand tools, maybe a small backpack & trying to familiarize yourself with some of the electrical materials. Bushing’s, Connectors, Meyers hub etc… Congrats again Brother, Let me know how it goes!🙏🏽
@@praised8534 I didn’t have to take an aptitude test, I think if your join the IBEW you have to from my understanding.. Hope that helps some Brother!👍🏽

Love your videos Stephen. I’m taking electrical classes in September because of you!
Congratulations on the new Journey, I really hope you enjoy it. You Got This!🙏🏽
That’s good I’m almost done. I went into trade school with a few hours/experience under my belt. I got videos documenting work from trade school.

Keep pushing bro, your videos are very inspiring as an apprentice starting the trade, trust in God always!
Appreciate it Brother..🙏🏽
I appreciate watching your videos it’s hard work 😓 but it’s only for a season eventually it will get better
It will Brother One day at a Time..🙏🏽
Looking at going into an apprenticeship program with IBEW. Doing a 40 hr week + two nights of 3+ hours of class has got to be rough.
