Default Hey whats up
Hey my name is Jarrett and I am trying to become an electrician at my Local 456 union. I am struggling in my third year of college as I thought Engineering would be what I wanted to do. I'm figuring out that Engineering is a more thoery based profession, based on the classes I am taking. I am thinking about dropping out, to become an inside wiremen.

I probably will finish school, I was a bit stressed because I have a job and the classes are getting tough, and it gets a bit hectic trying to manage my job and school. I would probably have to retake some courses to improve my grades from this semester, they arent F's' they just dont meet my standards.

Being a Electrician is FAR from being a full time steady job for most..
Stay in School!
