Just because I have a nice cars doesn't mean I don't pay my own bills. I live in the real world, trust me. I just happen to have been working my butt off since middle school to get the things I want.

I'd be a fool to go to college to become an electrician when a BETTER opportunity is available to me... and when you learn a trade like i'm doing, you don't rely on one job, you have a craft for life... because electricity isn't going anywhere, any time soon, lol

I choose to be Union and its a life I love, however, at the end of a day, I will be a state licensed electrician, not just a "Union Electrician"

This is true, you don't need to have B.S. and B.A. to be "Educated" but at the same time you can't compare yourself to an Electrical Engineer. We go to school for two totally different things that happen to be under the same general category. I would love to take some classes that y'all do to get experience in all scales of electrical circuits, as my major is focused on low-power computing systems and digital communication systems.
