Alright, well, ill be honest and say im not a electrician, but it's a trade im interested in, im a simple teenager in high school. - Which is why i won't be posting much, considering your rules forbid it, but...your the only place i can really find a straightfoward answer to my problem. (Note: I've been reading this site for a few weeks, just never registered because it said "For Professional Electricians Only" - But, i really need help now, so im turning to you all one time.
I was stupid as a Freshman. I didn't really care about my grades in Algebra and i got a C - C - D - B (Semesters) Than, right after that i realized i wanted to possibly be an Electrician, Ironic?
Now, i was thinking of joining up with the IBEW, but they said something along the lines of a C in Algebra. I got a D! But..it was just one semester, i know there has too be some way around this?
Heck, i've even been an Electricians helper for about 4 months (Will continue to be also) and have taken a pre-aptitude test, and studies Electronics/Mechanicle Drawings. And next year im taking a lot of classes that have to do with this trade (In-directly, of course) and will be studying Mechanicle Drawing/Electronic/Electicity UT classes when i become a junior and senior (Get out 4 hours of school early to go there, and still get credits! Holy Crud?!)
I know that one D would not permit this? Right...right?! Im just a tad nervous, but i have a right too be, considering i wanted to join the Navy and enter the field, but i can't, because i had ONE...yes, ONE sign of asthma problems when i was 13! I even begged to my recruitor, and the only thing he said was to lie. I prefer to not have a dishonourable discharge, thank you very much.
Anyway, back on subject, hello, and please, any advice or help would be appreciated.
