That would be beautiful in a perfect world but ill take anything for now... But I'll tell you what I don't wanna do residential ever again and it don't pay... When I was green it was great for learning and making crap money but I'm just trying to line something, anything up for now... I have three letters of recommendation but I'm not sure what the market is like out there.

Seven years I'm a supervisor at my company and no license... Also something mid sized is what would be perfect cause I don't want to be a number in the cogs ya know... I did work for a company once and the owner had no idea who worked for him... I mean it was great cause everything you needed was on site and there was one or two supervisors on site that knew what was going on and you knew what you were doing all day but when something went haywire it was like a dog with three heads and no one knew what was going on.

I've taken the michigan test and it was a lot tougher than ca's. And for work experience you don't need any documentation. Just sign an affidavit that everything you wrote on the application is true. I've heard of q few people who fudged a few hours and took it early.

They made me get my work history from the social security office for the required years.

Ditto. Took me 2 months to get the form from the SSA, then another 6 months for my application to get processed to take the test. Without a license from another state you'll have to start as a trainee OP.

Making under 27 is not an option... I haven't worked as hard as I do to start taking steps backward... And you always have those guys... I have 10 years experience and can run work... What they don't say is they're a wire jockey and have one person that's under them and it's residential work.

Not in ca.
I had that airport gig lined up, and had to wait for the approval letter before I could even get a test date. He is right, but I was delayed a couple of months.

I have a 3 week gig lined up in LA starting in one week. We will probably bring in 1 or 2 more guys.
