timothy from 177 the right time to get out to vegas is when they have a trade show going on. im here right now got in wednesday night on the 14 i think it was signed the book thursday morning at #555 and just missed getting out the same day i got out friday ut its a short call for the show but its quick easy money looking at bout $1500 just for 3 days gross. they tell you 3 weeks minium to get out but like i said the show put out over 400 men sometimes. basically you have to watch the books and call the jobline or look online at there site and see at waht position the calls went to. little tip though the longer you wait the more and more people are going to be in front of you. for more info call me at 770-869-5814 |

I'm interested in becoming an electrician, however, i've considered becoming a heavy-duty mechanic as well as a pipe fitter, could anyone tell me the advantages/disadvantages for these trades? I'm having a tough time deciding which of these three would best suit me. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, GM |

Jesse in Bainbridge Island, Washington 17 months ago |
There tends to be more work for electricians than pipe fitters. Looking around the jobs I've been on, there's been several electricians for every pipe fitter, and the demand just keeps growing. The opportunities for travel seem to be better than most other trades. It's a good balance between physical and mental work. Electricians have a lot of opportunities to start their own shops. I can't really compare it to being a heavy mechanic, because I know very little about the trade. I do know there were 2 ex-mechanics in my apprenticeship class, so I suppose they felt it was a better career. If you decide to do it, I recommend going through the IBEW and becoming a commercial/industrial electrician. I did a little non-union residential before I got in the union, and it's not nearly as good a job. |

all three of those career choices would be challenging and educational. but, if you think about long-term career options for these, one will stand out as a wiser choice, i think.

Myriam in Spokane, Washington said: My husband called them and talked to them, they are Non-Union and only pay about $17/hrs. you would only make about $80,000/year. We are in Moses Lake, WA and lots of Union Jobs with IBEW 191 available. Jobs are great here right now and he is making more than that at the moment, not worth risking your life. Plus no retirement and health insurance paid. I am also an IBEW member out of 861 Lake Charles La. Does Washington State require a state license? I would like to work there. |

Jeff in Houston, Texas said: I am also an IBEW member out of 861 Lake Charles La. Does Washington State require a state license? I would like to work there. Yeah, WA requires a license. As mentioned above there are several reciprocal states, but it doesn't look like yours is one of them. I know there was some talk of letting IBEW folks transfer into our apprenticeship after Katrina, and if you know enough you can test out to skip some or all of our 5 years of school, but you'll still need 8000 hours to work as a journeyman, and hours worked in non-reciprocal states don't count. On the bright side, stating apprentice wages in Local 46 are over $18. Here's an IBEW informational link www.ibew46.org/documents/LNI_Navigation.pdf |

kbr is another extension of haliburton which is just about ran by yes the dick himself dick cheney, if you want to make his pockets fatter the go ahead and work for them but i was contacted by them alos and they only offered the most $84,000 for the year and you work just about 7/12's for bout 3 months straight and they will match plane ticket home up to the first $800.00. and no they do not pay any benefits that a normal union member working in the states would get so you pretty much are on your own out there, no representation at all. i could work nonunion not that i would and work that many hours in the states and make that much and not worry about getting killed by some iraqi. best bet is just hit the road and you could make in the upwards of $90-$100,000 for the year as a union memeber. lets support america and our troops not the dumbasses who got our troops there in the first place. |

Jesse in Bainbridge Island, Washington 17 months ago |
Responding to jordan: I worked with a IBEW brother who made quite a bit with KBR, got shot in the leg, came home and worked for a bit, and went right back to Iraq as soon as he could. That was 2 years ago. I think there was a period of time when wiremen were making $1000 a day. That seems to have passed as KBR has figured out it can hire 3rd party nationals for a fraction of what they were paying US wiremen. |

Jeff in Houston, Texas 17 months ago |
Thanks Jordan for the note I agree with you about the Dick. Back in 04 when all the travelers were comming home and they had killed the economy I went to Iraq rather than work for the rat at home. I lived directly with the solders and kept there lights on and there ac running as best as I could. Our people in uniform had very few comforts as these were not the megga camps and they were not there by choice but were sent.

jordan in Las Vegas, Nevada 17 months ago |

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. |
