My son graduated high school ten years ago. Got on an electrician apprentice program. Now, he has passed the state journyman test, and the state master electrician test, and the state electrical contracters test (michigan). He drives a brand new company 4x4, new cell phone and lap top every year, brings in six digits plus, he is at 28 the onsight boss at the job. NO STUDENT DEBT, EVER. College is a rip off.
“Got on an electrician apprentice program.”
In my area of Florida, tradespeople are highly desired and highly paid.
There is little demand in my area for college graduates who haven’t specialized in medicine.
My nieces friends is looking to do that now. He took classes in BOCES, which is a half day of high school learning a skill. He could go to the local community college, but it’s pretty much the same skills he’s done for the past 2 years. How did your son locate his apprenticeship program? This kid is in NY State.
