    Very good. 3rd year Apprentice Joaquin Garcia, Life is hard enough, but to have a newborn and a new home and to have the mental dedication to stay focused with an education for a potential future of being able to support a family. Excellent choice and stick with it. You will go far to possibly Forman pay and running your own business.

    She has musical degree but is in sales...yep that seems to be the thing going on where people can't find a job to match their major. Quite a few kids are looking to the trades vs college, so it may be better to join a union and get schooling through there while working the exact job your learning about rather than go to college.

    I tried to get into the elevator trade, but they didn't want me. I was in my 30's, a navy vet with around 8 years background as a licensed factory electrician/mechanic who worked in plant maintenance. I had PLC and installation experience, plus some construction experience. You'd think the elevator people would have gladly taken me, and I sent out several resumes but never heard a thing. So I struck out on my own as an electrical service contractor with 3 helpers and I'm proud to say I made a good career and 6 figure income, with full credit for the office work to my wife Susie

    The Elevator trade is the top paying construction trade but one of their cons is that most of the mechanics are racists, believe me I know, I heard them say derogatory words to apprentices to get them to push back and quit the apprenticeship program because they prefer only one race in the union, again I know, I've done seen and heard it. If you take away those types of people from the union, this local would be top notch, the best union to join. Not sure how the other locals are but this one sure has its share of bad apples
