If you were planing on waiting to join an IBEW you should find out the min. requirements. They may want H.S. transcripts of a certain leval of math with this grade or better. Or it's back to school to take a math classes.
You may want to try to find out how busy the IBEW is are and how many apply each year. They should be able to tell you how many apprentaces they plan on taking on. A lot of people will wait to allpy, take a test, interview, and then don't make the cut. It is a long proscess.
Another thing is on the days they take applications be their the first day ready for them to open the doors. Some hand out only so many applications. When I applied the first hour they already accepted 1/2 their max applications.
You might try making calls in the phone book and saying you will do any type of work to get started. A fly by night shop is not the best but the first step is to get a job with an EC.
