My 1st Year Experience Being An Electrical Apprentice | Everything I Learned | Retail Vs Trades! 

I salute you brother. I'm a Journeyman out of Centex IEC here in Austin Texas for almost 8 years. I love the trade and I feel everything you saying about health and being in shape for life and the field of being an electrician, lol. Peace and keep pushing

It’s interesting, being in HVAC there’s a lot of facets, you learn ALOT about low voltage controls and all of that, how to solder and braze, and a whole lot of other stuff. I’ve noticed a bunch of guys I come across in HVAC also were electricians and/or plumbers before, or HVAC techs making the jump to plumbing, being a sparky, building operating engineer, or actual building cuz there’s no on call in that lol. Learn about generic controls, (big one) transformers, and low voltage theory, 3 phase stuff and it’s theory, plumbing, soldering and brazing, welding, don’t forget playing with puzzles or things that really challenge your thinking capabilities. If I can go back, I would have kept up with my puzzles and quick reacting video games. One big tip: keep your financials in check!!! You will make good money, keep it in control so you can retire, forward thinking and all that.

Your Grandmother is extremely proud and she continues to walk and guide you now as a angel/ancestor!!! 😊

I just found your content and I love it so much man. I’m in high school and I’m not to sure what I wanna do and this is one of my interests and the more I watch the more I am invested in it. Thank you man

Thank you for the updates! I just turned in my union application so I’m about to begin my journey!

Congratulations on your journey can’t wait to see videos of the second year on. My best wishes for you.

Good stuff man, the wrong trench story is hilarious! I been a sparky for 20 years and in buisness 14 of them and listening to your story brought back a lot memories. I recently started a you tube channel and talk a lot about my perspective as a buisness owner now. Stick with it and it will pay off! Keep grinding man 👊🏼

Congrats!!! The journey continues!!!!🎉🎉

Yes sirrrr!! One thing about life, it's full of lessons!!

Respect bro keep on going💪👷‍♂️

Keep up the great work son. Luv ya and I'm proud of you.

Congrats bro !! and great video I’m coming up on my first year as well

Congrats on your 1 year man! You’ve been making great content so keep it up. I’m hoping I can get into my trade school May 1 when they open registration because I’m trying to get out of my current toxic job and make something better for myself and your videos are definitely motivation for me seeing your life change for the better.

Congrats on your fitness journey! It’s been a battle for me too but definitely working in construction gets you back on track. And I feel you on going under houses, smelling cat piss, and getting sand in your eyes when stapling. lol. Im right there with you. Year one!

May the Lord bless you brother im looking at being electrician apprentice. Peace be with you brother🙇‍♂️❤️love from the Uk❤️

Following you from Liberia

Congratulations bro 🎉

Just passed my aptitude and I wish I could tell my grandma in person she also passed and it definitely is weird without her I feel you on that.

Owner of an electrical company offered me an opportunity at my current job as a showroom consultant. I’ve been researching already before this interaction but it feels to good to be true 😂 I’m stuck in information paralysis rn. I updated my resume and just have to send it to him

Thanks so much for the good job

how does the test for the apprenticeship look like ? I’m worried about the math portion . Would it still be able to get into the apprenticeship if i failed the math portion but passed the rest of the test ?

Hey man, Im a high school senior and want some advice. I am thinking about either being an electrician and eventually start my own business or go to college and major in computer science. Not sure which one I want to really do. College would put me in to debt but I have a big chance of getting a high paying job after it. Being an electrician apprentice would let me earn money while I learn and save up money living with my parents and eventually moving out. What do you think would be a better route?

I’m in highschool thinking about this and wondering if it’s a good decision

Did you have to complete any schooling before you started or does your company pay for it?

Hey man I’m interested in the electric work but i always hear guys in any trade say they usally don’t have time for anything due to long hours but in this field do you usally have free time to hit the gym because I enjoy working out n I don’t wanna be that big guy on a job site😂

How old are you man? Im turning 30 next week & looking to begin my journey

What part of Texas are you in?
