I've been thinking about becoming an electrician for a while now ... long story short, I left high school not knowing what I wanted to do with myself, and eight years of experimenting with college later I'm still in the same boat (just with a piece of paper and some student loans breathing down my neck). I like the idea of getting to do something physical that still requires a decent amount of brainpower to do well, and I've always had a fascination for electric/electronic things.

So I'm wondering if it'd be a good move for me to put in an apprenticeship application at the local union, since they have a training program set up. I'm a little intimidated though, since I don't really have any experience (unless you count a couple EE tech classes) and I don't really know what sort of things will be thrown at me for the testing and interview.

Please advise! grin
