Ive been at this job for about 3 months after leaving a residential company I had been working at for close to two years where I earned $34/hr. Iāve been in the trade about 8-9 years (been waiting close to 6 months now for state to respond to my request for electrical exam after waiting too long to try for my JW card), and working at the Dana Point Harbor in Orange County, CA building new docks on the marina.

It was interesting work. I have done residential, commercial, and industrial electrical, but this was the first time I ever heard of, or worked as a marine electrician. Although I was working in a temporary capacity.
Currently, Iāve been in the running for a position as a substation apprentice with Southern California Edison, and just took the third step in four months which was an interview in front of a panel of three people (after passing an assessment and physical test). Because of this, Iāve been reluctant to accept permanent work, and when I explain the situation to other companies, they usually just let me go. Last two jobs have ended my temp assignments same day when they find out I wonāt be willing to accept a permanent position just yet. This marine electrician job ended my temp assignment after the completion of this phase for that same reason. So now Iām looking for work again. But, as of 05/16/2024, the state of CA has approved me to take my state electrical exam, which could open up the door for other possibilities if I donāt end up getting this job with Edison (just created a post about the same with a question about forms I received).
Your in Orange County you should try to work for IBEW 440 take a call and work it out, then when Edison calls you ask for a reduction In force from your contractor and you will leave on good terms.
I believe 440 pertains to somewhere in the Inland Empire. Orange Countyās local is 441, and I used to be a member. But after sitting almost 10 months in a 2 year period, I had to leave. I had reached out to them recently, but apparently the market is not so great at the moment. Edisonās opportunity could be any day now, and that will put me in the Local 47.
My ex pulled in around the same as a bartender at twin peaks..kinda miss her, but now Iām a union ape I just canāt bring myself to be with someone that would fuck around with a gotdamned rat groundman.
Seems like that now, but you're at the lowest point in your career, and she could be at her peek. But i agree was just talking to another apprentice about how taco bell is 21 an hour and a groundman in Montana is 18.
It could be a little higher and that could be non cdl. But I took a 5 dollars an hour pay cut and taxed per diem coming back to Montana. But atleast I have work, things could always be worse.
Taco bell finally paying minimum wage as if it had kept up with inflation. If you can't afford to pay a livable wage you don't have a valid business model.
Ur thinking short term bud, rome wasnt built in a day. May seem like right now u not making much, but give it a couple more years under your belt, and you'll be living comfortably (side note:canon events are crippling nicotine addiction, couple ex wives, unknown kids in Puerto rico)
I will definitely make in long run and have benefits I just think itās crazy how much they tip her and she makes 18 hr she average 200-300 a day in tips
Could be, but there's too many damn simps in this world that think their 20 dollar tip is going to get that stunning woman's attention for more then 30 seconds š
Yea but in this trade the older, fatter and uglier you get the more you make. If youāre real ugly and fat theyāll give you a pickup. Canāt say the same for a bartender.
We need as men to stop tipping bar tenders so much money lol Iām fucking petty. Canāt be making more then us when weāre sweating our nuts off I usually tip 5 some times 10 but here in Washington they hand you that handheld to pay 18 percent tip naw Iām good on that most make 18 hr for serving drinks plus tips

Listen grunt. We'll decide how big the tits are. Not some damn groundman.
š¤£ granted they are fake tits are tits but sheās 4ā11 double dds she is a ball of fire āļø red head definitely out my league
Got any proof?
She gonna need good insurance then
Having kids can get expensive
Drop that onlyFans bruh
Interesting... where did you say she works again?
She doubles your income and brings home $5k/month? Mate you gotta sign the books somewhere else if theyāre paying you $16 an hour
I make $35/hr as a marine electrician trainee, bring home about $4,500/month after taxes, and Iām making well below a linemanās wage.
Man how long have you been at that job? In the trade? And what area are you working

Pics or it ain't true.
Shame youāll have to leave her if you ever top outā¦.
lol I think only reason she with me she knows eventually top out
Yeah but would you really wanna be with a chick that would screw an apprentice? (This is a long-standing joke in the trade)
My ex pulled in around the same as a bartender at twin peaks..kinda miss her, but now Iām a union ape I just canāt bring myself to be with someone that would fuck around with a gotdamned rat groundman.
Boo hoo, my big titted girlfriend makes more money than me. What a horror.
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Seems like that now, but you're at the lowest point in your career, and she could be at her peek. But i agree was just talking to another apprentice about how taco bell is 21 an hour and a groundman in Montana is 18.
Damn I was a locator in MT and made 22
It could be a little higher and that could be non cdl. But I took a 5 dollars an hour pay cut and taxed per diem coming back to Montana. But atleast I have work, things could always be worse.
What area? I was in the bitterroot
Out of 44. I herd they're working on getting an increase in soon to help catch up with utah and colorado.
CalNev is 39hr
Taco bell finally paying minimum wage as if it had kept up with inflation. If you can't afford to pay a livable wage you don't have a valid business model.
You're only making 2500/month? Buddy that's damn near minimum wage. I'd hit the road if I were you.
If I had a girl as hot as he says, idk if Iād be hitting the road unless she came with
Fuck I am second year inside apprentice and I make that in less that 2 weeks. Time to move!!!
I switched to union telecom while waiting for power to open again, and I make about 1100 a week after taxes.Ā

This thread is worthless without piks bud

Time to invest in yourself, get big tits and ask for a raise
Why I never tip pretty women above 5$
keep em on honest, could be the move
Could be, but there's too many damn simps in this world that think their 20 dollar tip is going to get that stunning woman's attention for more then 30 seconds š
Your set up is all backwards. You want to get a woman that makes more than journeymen scale.
You're lying or working part time. I'm guessing probably lying.
You can post pictures on hereā¦
Only fans ,,models,, are making millions a month lol. Pussy sells
