***update***

so i went and decided to go with electrician

back story: im involved in the step program that helps set people up with trade skills/connections, gives free funding for education and tools for whatever field you fancy

anyways, they helped me get started and ive been working with this one company but theres been so many downtime. loads of days offs. its been almost 2 months now that theres been no work for me. to be fair, boss told me to do something else if there is something else...

ive faxed my resumes off to other nearby electrical places but no response

my case manager whom told me that there arent any entry level electrical places that he knows of atm, offered me other trade jobs and ive accepted but he hasnt even replied back to me and its been a week...

i viewed BC Electrician Apprenticeships, Electrician Courses | Electric Joint Training Committee but i do not meet the requirements.

Quote:
Grade 12 with successful completion of three (3) courses: English 12 (or equivalent), Principles of Math 12 (or Precalculus 12) and Physics 11
i would need to upgrade, however i do not have money for schooling and i do not have time as im low on cash; (not even sure if i can pay for car insurance when its up). my moms been supporting my freeloading ass and i want to repay her and i thought it would smooth sailing if i took up a trade

anyways, i really want to get more experience in the electrical field, but if theres no other option for me i'll have to go through all the blue collar phases of finding and bsing my way through interviews and saying this and that just for a job and i really dont want to do that

guess what im asking for is if theres hope?? need some guidance please
