Get with the biggest company doing the biggest work you can find and never look back. You'll end up with 2-3 times the money, better benefits, and an interesting and challenging job.
100% agree here. You will never want to touch a residential "thing" again :eek:Quote:

Lemon, get yourself a good pair of long johns and insulated coveralls, be cold up on those roofs in Winterpeg, no more warm basements
And no more penny pinching "Homeowners" :pQuote:

Brenster, there's lots of shops here in Tampa that would gladly take someone with a great attitude, no ego, and proven track record on the residential side.
The fundamentals will never change, no matter what it is you're working on. If your understanding of electrical principles and troubleshooting is sound, you'll do well.
You can get out of the attics and on to a white-hot rubber roof in the middle of july :cool:
yeah, i have been searching the tampa area, looking for apprentice or anything in the commerical area..right now i would be happy to come in as entry level just to get my foot in the door, Daytona beach is dead, i'm thinking Orlando or Tampa. I hate saying this but i wish it would get hot out .
I can't believe i said that...
If Orlando's not too far out for you, I would try MSI. They stay busy year round, and have one of the best apprenticeship programs/training facilities in the state.

I appreciate that, and will give them a call and see if they have anything available on monday. I'll check out their website right now.
thank you for the help.
