kastein Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Electrician You guys looking for an apprentice? No pro experience as an electrician, but I read the 93 NEC cover to cover by the time I was 16, still have a decent amount of the code memorized, know black/red from white, can tell wire gauge by sight, etc. Right now, I'm a post-silicon validation engineer doing Itanium product line systems test/validation for Intel. On the side, I do property maintenance / repair for my landlord, friends, and family, and assorted vehicle repair and construction for my friends and family. I'm also certified to dispose of beer, explosives, and flammable substances via the most suitable applicable methods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston has not taken any apprentices in for the last 2 years, but normally there's a general knowledge test, and XX number of applicants with the highest scores are brought into the training program. If you were really interested, since you're in Worcester, (that's a different 'local' from Boston) you'd have to apply there. I REALLY don't want to turn this into a Union vs Non-Union thread but I will say construction Unions are not like most other Union jobs, there's no protection, no seniority, no tenure, no pay while out of work, no scheduled call backs, etc etc etc. I've been laid off 6, or 7 times in the 23 years I've been in, I never knew it was coming till I got my check, and the company is free to keep, or lay off who ever they like. They could hire someone new today, and lay off a 20 year employee tomorrow. I tell that last part to people that think they know everything about Unions, and they either look at me like I'm crazy, or call me a liar. :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to be an electrician for a couple years when I was a kid, just before I really got into electronics. I'm getting pretty tired of writing software and looking for some sort of a change, haven't fully decided what it's going to be. I'd love to get more into what I spent highschool and college doing for fun - embedded systems design, but haven't gotten hired doing that yet. For some reason writing software (no matter how low level it is - I do assembly language / C development mostly, and spend a lot of time in a hardware debugger) is just not as rewarding as designing and building hardware or working on cars / doing home electrical etc. You guys make me feel a little out of place here, haha.
