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.

Lemon, get yourself a good pair of long johns and insulated coveralls, be cold up on those roofs in Winterpeg, no more warm basements

it does sound appealing
are there any companies here in florida that will take on a residential service/installer and train them in the commericial field? because i would love that kind of oppurtunity, the attics are getting old..

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

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.
