What to do with Associate degree in commercial/residential electricity construction?
22 years old, Working on a 16 month Associate degree in residential and commercial electricity construction and maitainence. The school claims to being able to line me up with a job upon graduation. Is there good potential in this? Or should I apply at IBEW after graduating? Advice needed from a beginner electrician.
Unless you want to work non-union then take the job after the schooling. If you want a career, then apply to the IBEW your area, show them your training certificate and become an apprentice journeyman wireman. You may even qualify to take the journeyman exam.
Consider the benefits, the salary, and the retirement plan of the IBEW compared to a non-signatory contractor. Check out the IBEW website at www.ibew.org.
