I currently am a machinist in a family owned company . I have to work m-f 7am-330pm. I cant afford to quit my job. As far as i can see , the best way to become ab electrican is to do an apprenticeship. The problem is they are all morning gigs and start off at 11/hr vs the 25hr i make now. I was going to go yo trade school. Once i graduate i would work my day job and do self employed electrical on the side. Hopefully i would eventually get enough work to go full time electrical
