hi there i was jus w0nderin what m0ney i c0uld earn w0rkin in iraq as fully qualified electrician fr0m the uk??..and h0w w0uld i g0 ab0ut d0ing it?

i am a journyman electrican..I have have over 7 years experiance.. im looking to work overseas for the right amount of money.. i have applied with KBRJOBS.COM and they are offering 7,300 a month for a year non-taxed.. this is good money but i keep hearing there is more to be made up in the 6 figure range.. if anyone can help email me at bookerken77@hotmail.com

its tax free after you made $100k or so in the states there are many things that they dont tell you and you find out later after you are already there make sure you read all the fine print. kbr figured out how to get third party nationals to do the jobs also or else usually its in the range of
$100k-$150k with most companies

question for my american friends,journeyman-do i qualify?i have 15 years experience in industrial commercial and domestic and one year in australia another in a power station,i am fully qualified in ireland,trade exams passed but would this be enough to be recognised in the U.S???always wanted to work in America and at 32 i aint gettin no younger!!!!!!any help greatly appreciated.your irish sparking brother.Owen

Mister Owen,
Work here is slow that is why I'm looking to go overseas. If you want to give your expertise away for real low wages you can find a little work but I found out a longtime ago that if you settle for less they will always work you for less.

It depends on the state. Some states do not require any license at all, so you would be able to work in those states no prob. Most states have rather strict requirements. For example, here in Washington State for your hours to count towards the 8000 required to work as an 01 journeyman electrician you need to have earned them in this state or one of the few states that reciprocates hours with us. I don't know where you'd look to find the states with no licensing requirements, but I'd expect they're also the lowest paying places.

thanks jeff and jesse for your usefull comments.hope things pick up for you jeff.dont try ireland,its dead at the moment.england not much better,best i got was 150 a day sterling,which is about as good as you will get.dont forget then u loose 20 per cent on that being self employed.DO NOT GO P.A.Y.E.you will only make half the money as you would as self employed,and subbing yourself out to contractors.trust me i learned the hard way,best of luck lads,thanks for your help,owen

I was replying to what you said, that I was a liar, no problem. Is there a need for 1st year electricians now at fort Mcmurry? I have 2 friends working there but can't reach them. Their names are Franky and Jak.

I had seen on the Ibew friends and family web site on the work up in Canada. Looks like most of its union but how is the local or government helping fellow American IBEW members on coming up to man the work.

I'm curious about this as well. Also, I'd like to know if the work booming in and around Fort McMurray is mostly union.

I would, if you included your email. Or you could email me @ jessekimmerling@yahoo.com if you have any info on union gigs over 100K a year. Short of that I'll keep on working in Seattle for local 46.

I couldn't tell you about the WABI. When I went over in 2006 only drivers were required to take it. I don't think it's that hard, I know a few of those drivers. Some of them couldn't hardly write their names. Of course, you have to be a little crazy to willingly want to go over there, so, I'm not sure how good the test is anyway.
