Electrical work sounds like a neat trade to learn. How do apprenticeships there work? I get it’s a 5 year training contract, but what happens after that? I’m a journeyman like a feudal guild or something? I was going to go the local office by next week and inquire, but i figured I should shitpost about it first.

I have a buddy who’s an electrician — got started probably about 5 years ago. He loves it. Gets trained for free and decent pay considering he doesn’t have a college degree. He doesn’t get paid time off, though, and won’t until he finishes his classes and levels up. And he works like 60 hours a week (though I think that’s his call) and works weird hours (wakes up at 2a.

His friends are all super bro, joke around like their 15 years old. All cool guys, but pretty reactionary tbh.
