[QUOTE="Big Package, post: 2980224, member: 67494"] He might have had family, legal or medical issues that compounded his problems at work since UPS are slave drivers. OP - trades are fun. Electrical is great and they have a lot of labor protections. Same with plumbing. I still keep my low voltage license in case I go back into wiring business, commercial and residential properties. It's also not hard to learn. You can learn it all or specialize in fiber splicing and cutovers or put in cable, modems, and boxes. Pay scales well. Electrician pay is ridiculous but better be smart. The power limited isn't hard to get you just need the classroom hours via working and personal study and can take it up to 3 times a year if you fail. Get a contractor's license and a few guys to work for you and you've got a 4 provider based installation business. Master electricians make 35 to 100 an hour. Only takes ten years what have you got to lose. 2027 will come whether you do these things or not. Just stay away man. You hung your hat once you're really gonna wanna do it again. It's pretty bad and I've only observed it last 3 years as driver helper and a few month part timer, but I load cars every day bricked out like peak & worse and some guys don't get out anyway 10am and home by 12pm it is ridiculous. Nothing like I've ever seen and it's getting worse. [/QUOTE]
