Dude we d love an update video! Where are you now at life ? Your videos were partly responsible for me becoming an Electrical apprentice, we d love to hear more about you ! Thanks alot bro!
All good still here. Just life happens. Alot of work, family, house and adult things that take my time from making vids. What would you like to see in a future video?
@@lmt9856 Glad, you're doing well, and thanks for the response, brotha. As far as video ideas go, I think a lot of people just want to know how to get into the profession, how hard it might be for the average person to learn the trade and the difference between unions jobs and none union jobs. I mention the union jobs because we're hearing about places like Starbucks and even Amazon workers are now starting to form unions and a lot of people don't really understand the role they play in worker safety and pay just to name a few. All the best keep up the good work.
That's a killer service lol - 480v 400a ?!?! That better bed some outstanding fucking coffee! 🤣😂⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥Did I hear you say it was an upgrade or was that existing?
Most of the services i build are 300-400 amp i lovr building them its different Everytime in the way u have to lay it out any random guy can build a back to back 200 amp service but throw gutters and disconnects into it and it can turn into a puzzle and i love it!
Rep the IBEW brotha. Code of Excellence. Don't matter where you are it's still right the first time. We have badass jobs with kickass pay and benefits.
I’m living with my parents since moving out in California seems like suicide financially for me. But since I’m living pretty comfortably will a lay-off have a huge impact on me cause I’m fine with making 50k+ a year.
Motivating video, I'm finishing my course in electricity up in Canada, keep it up you doing good, i'd be eager to learn more if you wanna make some more indepth explanatory video about transfos and stuff. GoodLuck !
JderungsFitness in general, in any interview, show them how you would be a benefit to them. There is always someone better. Why should they pick you? In this case, how would you help the union and contractors stay competitive?
Are you expected to know the majority of electrical appliances, receptacles, outlet types, and NEC codes as a fresh Journeyman? I see people just look at a picture of a 14-50 and a 14-30 outlet and they could tell the difference. Is that like, the norm? I worry that I don't have a good enough memory to remember everything. I've always picked up math really quick and I really enjoy that, but I don't want a desk job as an engineer. I really like working on the job with my hands, but I worry I'm too mechanically *stupid* to be able to identify electrical things or troubleshoot problems. I really want to work commercial/residential rather than industrial. Would the IBEW force you to do all three?
I spoke with you in your past day in the life vids. The short of it, I got a spot as an apprentice and orientation is July 10 so I'm excited. I'm curious on what you take with you on a normal day. Extra clothes, what kind of food if you prep your own, most common site start times, best boot choices, coffee thermos, etc. Basically, after trial and error, what works for you now? Keep up the videos!
Gabe 210 boots- whatever you like. I use Salomon quest 4g from REI. super light and super strong. only had 2 pairs my whole time. I've tried other boots like Redwing or whatever. it's just a brand. get what works for you to make your day better and more comfortable. jeans or carharts. whatever works for you. sleeved shirt. t shirt or Ben Davis or dickies. what works for you. tools- you get a tool list indicating what tools to get. those are the only tools you need to buy. everything else, the shop should get for you. I don't use the wooden rule so don't bother with that. I used to wear bags. in SF were given carts to work off. so a box works cause you can close them. safe from other trades. I currently went back to tool belt and bags. it works best for me. I've tried the electrician coveralls but too hot for me. it's a career. be professional when you get to the job. not too baggy or skinny jeans. you know "normal". as far as food, I buy my lunch. it's SF. you have a lot of places to eat and snack within a few doors over. it does get expensive so more people prep. it's cheaper and faster if you prep but I'm lazy. 😁 I encourage to go your first day normal. No expectations and you will see.
you're videos are so informative man thank you! I'm going July 5th to apply to be an apprentice but ima bit nervous for the aptitude test. can you give me more emphasis do i need to score a 100% ? how long does the process normally take for them to dispatch me? I would really appreciate it if you answer thank you
ricardo Camacho I also recommend go positively into anything you do. By you saying "idk", you are only causing yourself to second guess yourself and already creating a mental block. it's psychological.
I don't mean to sound rude but have you found a new job yet or did you create a new channel, i have many questions to ask im 17 years old that has to make a decision by may 17 that will affect whole life and you look like the best person for guidance

Thanks alot bro!
I'm residential electrician for 15 years. Tired of working on houses. Want to do commercial work. Any thoughts?
Where you at, bro? You good? It’s been a minute since you last did a vid.

You are like a big brother that I don't have: / Thank you so very much.

Journey 2 Master It was an upgrade. Demoed the old one and installed the new one.

I want to thank you, for inspiring everyone on TH-cam. I want to join the union now. I'm in trade school right now.

I'm a new contractor I would love to have employees like u. Good job man keep it up
Make a video on your general math that you deal with
Mike highschool math. U have to know it for school. Geometry and algebra. Not super hard but u have to have a good grasp on it
I like your mind set bro!
Motivating video, I'm finishing my course in electricity up in Canada, keep it up you doing good, i'd be eager to learn more if you wanna make some more indepth explanatory video about transfos and stuff. GoodLuck !
need to tell all them burger flippers to apply themselves because every time i get my burgers it's flat.

Did you take journeyman test as of 4/23/20? Thanks 🙏🏽
Good stuff. I just did my aptitude test and waiting for results! Any tips?

Ben Hammers you'll learn as you go, you'll know exactly what you need based off the room and its electrical need.

GCSalinas the motivation comes from within. Don't wait to be told. Nothing to it but to do it. 🤘

ricardo Camacho now that the word is out, you need to score high. they go in order. highest to lowest. try and try again. I did it twice.

Good video. Thanks for all the info. Turn the phone horizontally and that will make the videos full screen.
Koastal Strykr this was in the moment.
