    The very top sentence of the description is exactly what I was looking for. I am a recent college drop out of putting in 2.5 years of college. I really do not want to pursue that shit anymore. I want to do a trade and I want to provide for myself and my girlfriend. I just want a family, but I know I have to be financially stable. As I was looking into what trade to do. I researched more about an electrician and it really caught my eye. This is the second video I have watched from you so far. I am glad that you are still continuing to educate your viewers everyday about you skillset. That is incredible I am loving the positive energy and dedication. I am definitely subscribing. I could not figure out how exactly or where I should start to become an electrician. Until I was scrolling down in the comments and BAM. As I was about to do that. I see what you said about how they offer it for free in NYS for people under 21. I am only 19, so that is a plus. I am definitely going to be studying more of your videos and broaden my knowledge on the profession of becoming an electrician some more. Thank you for sacrificing your time to help out others like me!

      I’m also 19, I went to early college dying my sophomore year, when I finally decided what I wanted to do, I realized I would be 40k in debt, I had taken last term thanks to financial aid, so I’m like 1,200 in debt since I haven’t used the rest of the 3k. And it’s so stressful for me. So I will get a job at McDonald’s soon so I can pay it off while I try to get my apprenticeship.
      I hope this year has been really good to you. Can you give an update?

      @@HabituaILineStepper no I never went through with becoming an electrician. I was a teacher aid for a year. But I posted something on social media, which got me fired. So now I am working part time as a cleaner. I looked into applying for an electrician, but the course is not free for people under 21. I think possibly it is free for people who live in the city of New York, but overall not the state. I specifically live in Buffalo New York. You have to pay thousands of dollars for the course. $4500 to be exact. The price goes up every year. It was literally half than that last year. I am looking at welding and that is $2750. I am sure the other courses cost $1000 or more.

      @@erikthechosenone I am in NYC, but I don’t think there are any free courses here. You’re right about the price range being around $4500. They do payment plans though free of interest, not like you have to pay it all at once I’m sure. Only thing that’s bothering me is how you’ll have to be an apprentice for about 5 years, which from what I’ve read, they don’t really make much(although some say you can still make up to 80k first 2-3 years). Electrician just sounds more fun and professional than what I’m doing right now. Local truck driving is a headache, every day. Imagine dealing with NY/NJ drivers every day while being in a 53ft trailer lol only making roughly $60k

    I went to a trade school full time for 7 months and it cost me 20k i kinda regret it because the company i work for right now offers a 4-5 yr apprenticeship fully paid for with on the job training along with theory and hands on training in the classroom every tue and thursday after work which upon completion i could get my journeymans license. In My opinion look into apprenticeships and dont worry if you dont have any experience just apply!

      Hey seen this and wanted to talk to you a little. I’m in the Cleveland/Parma Area (northeast Ohio) I was just in the same boat as you. I know a lot of the guys say go to apprenticeship but that’s not really a big option for us. I’m going to Ohio business college if you’d like to check it out. It’s not super super expensive and they have a job placement lady that will help you out when you graduate

    Another route pre appr program some states offer for free, gov funding. Personally here in nj 32k for a few months is alot from someone who just got out of college. Scout around, some utility company you can get into through customer service first then bid internal for pre appr union jobs, and you can learn on the job. I would do lots of re search, and with this economy I wouldnt recc 30k for someone just starting. Some pre app program can cost around 10k to 14k so its cheaper. Hope this helps.

    Here in New Mexico the local community college helps out with the job search. And you get credited hours up to 4,000 hours. But sadly, if you joined JATC from the community college, you start as a first year. It doesn’t count much towards apprenticeship.
    New Mexico JATC you are only allowed to work with a union shop. And you can get stuck. Some companies don’t honor the rotation and your forced to approach the JATC director and request a transfer or request their help to get you rotated.

    Is it possible to become a part of the ibew union without doing the apprenticeship? If I had some electrical experience with a trade school, could I just sign up for the union afterwards? The particular class at this trade school I visited they told me to take a basic intro electrical class. It’s 15 weeks, and pretty cheap, $2550

      @@alecthenice8115 that could be better than nothing though. I’m not sure, I’m studying for the union apprenticeship test right now. The test would be next month. But applicants won’t know their placement til June 2022. So I’ll probably end up taking the trade school class either way, just in case. I could probably apply for non union companies after doing the 15 week class.

    Excuse me, can you scallion the different type of electricians I can be? I want to know what might be a good fit for me. Also is doing the first year as residential then the rest a commercial a good idea? I read in a forum that residential is easier to learn because it’s more repetitive and you can keep learning more with commercial.
    Also I’m also here in Portland, I live like 40 minutes away out in the country in north plains.
    Will it be okay if I take the bus? Or should I wait until I get my drivers license and get a car? Since I only have a permit, I’m 19 but I wasn’t let to drive much

    • @DailyElectrician
      @DailyElectrician  Год назад +2

      theres 3 mainly. residential, commercial and industrial. theres maintance, specialties etc. residential is a good place to start, then from there try other types and do what you like best.
      it would be best to get your own car cuz jobsites can switch quickly but if you are determined you can do anything
