Industrial side is the place to be, you do alot of control work?

Tree surgeon reporting in

Or you could do real work like insulators do. Any retard can pull wires through studs and hook up outlets

Tea brewer here. You fucking cripplefucks couldn't do shit without trusty old Cha-Boy to make you cuppas frequently.

Inb4 massively inflated claims about income.

>>684320935
i do industrial controls and automation. shit is cash.

>>684321427
Yes serious income only and your location makes all the difference in pay

my last year of studying and i will be an electrician

>>684321375
How bout 4160 volt transformers, motor control, or even fire alarm? You better stick to stuffing cotton candy in the wall.

>>684320935

Nope. Believe it or not my whole job right now is 4" instrument tray, the installation and bonding of such.

But they don't give us the layout drawings and there are multiple engineered tray runs around any given point, so, a good portion of our field run trays will be wrong. But I don't think they care.

I'm pretty sure they know they will lose the contract in a few weeks and they're just trying to bill for everything they can before that happens.

>>684321375
Most industrial insulation companies are full of women because the work is less physically demanding.

>>684321407
Stay classy!

>>684321427
My current job grosses around 11.5Grand/month CAD. If you know anyone that works in the oil sands you'll know this isn't bullshit.

>>684321533
Sounds fun. Shit tons of PLC eh?

>>684321702
Do you have on the job experience, or have you only done the school component?

>>684321375
>insulators
>real work
nice b8 m8

>>684321533
Fuck ya, pulling bitches instead of wire

Concrete. Think about it.

>>684322233
I tried, not much to think about kek

>>684321854
only school,I want to work at a construction site

Guys the only program at my college that interests me is Electrical Technology. Is that a good place to start for this?

>>684321941
I'm glad none of you fags wanna do gods work of insulation. It's driven up our pay the less and less people wanna do it. Last couple contracts have put us above the electricians and plumbers/pipefitters. Still can't touch the sprinkler fitter pay. Idk why them fags get so much they don't do shit and all there pipe is pre made

>>684322575
So you're in trade school not an apprenticeship?

>>684319725
I prefer inspecting the work all you fags do and giving the superintendent my write-ups on your sloppy half ass work.

>it's good to be the king

>>684322663
Sprinkler fitters have to travel more for work and their benefits package generally isn't as good as ours.

>>684323103
You were at one point an electrician, be honest.

Electrician Forman here. Fuck hvac and drywallers

>>684324714
Good luck to ya brother

>>684322663
Fucking truth, more guys retire and less hire. I've doubled my salary in two years.

>>684319725
I do low-volt. 95% of electricians I've worked with are some combo of fat, lazy and stupid.

>>684319725
Thinking about going for an apprenticeship. Whats involved and how hard is it.

>>684326188
Fucking data guys think they are worth anything.

Are you a teletubby?

>>684319725
OP starting classes this summer for an electrical lineman... Do you recommens this or just straight up try for electrician?

>>684325741
you too

>>684326425
5 years of classwork usually 6 hours a week. Modern electrical systems are pretty complex so it definitely not super easy but worth it if you want to make something of yourself.

Just finsihed my ibew apprenticeship. All industrial inside work. Shit is fucking cash.

>>684326979
Depends on what lifestyle youre after. If you dont mind being outside and on call year round be a lineman, they make bank. If you want to work mostly indoors on devices and equipment and leave work at work be an inside wireman.

>>684326692
I've met a few sparkys that are great guys and great workers. Usually the lead or his right hand. The majority leave their fucking carts blocking hallways and walking slow as shit in front of me. Every time ring and string was in their bid I have to redo half them and they miss more than one or two.

>>684326979
I'm an inside wireman. You couldn't pay me enough to be a lineman. Got a lot of respect for them though.

>>684327597
My stepdad is a foreman for the ladwp and makes baller money but also worked like 80 hr weeks until last year

IBEW= I Block Every Walkway

>>684327923
Rat motherfucker

>>684327923
I know, I had to join that faggot union bullshit to work for the company I do now. Probably my biggest shame in life.

>>684328134
Feel free to suck my flaccid cock then walk around my cart bitch

>>684328242
Must suck making more money

>>684328242
Yeah my three pensions that I don't have to pay into is a huge mistake
Dumbass

>>684328450
Selling my soul did get me a huge pay raise.

>>684328490
Don't need pension. Once I'm done working I'm going to kill myself.

>>684327852
Being a god takes some of your time away I must admit

>>684328714
>being this autistic yet being an electrician
I call shenanigans

>>684328946
I'm not an electrician. I'm data.

Just got into the IBEW apprenticeship

>>684329248
Nice, they're hard to get into

>>684319725
Non union electrician

>>684329086
Your hourly wage is probably shit so I can understand wanting more on the check

>>684329603
They told me that at orientation seesm like it should be easy just dont fuck up or around n im good

>>684329719
Ever consider joining the ibew? They have cw/ce trade classifications for you guys.

>>684330048
You're right, but there were probably 400+ people applying to be in your class of maybe 20 if ur a big class

>>684330080
I like to be loyal to my employer but I have always just followed the money, been thinking about it.

>>684330080
I was a cw before apprenticeship. Its cool full benefits n stuff helped me get into the ibew's program but i was making $5 less it was a start

Drive local hazmat truck cleared 90k last year. Work 10 hour days 5 days a week suck it faggots.

>>684329765
Nah, I made enough money before joining. Now I have extra to blow, help my friends kids with school etc. Didn't change my day to day life at all.

>>684330473
I think my local does small class though so far this year only 4 apprentices have been hired. And all the graduation photos only have about 7-15ppl
