"If you are having trouble getting a job, or are discouraged by what the experience requirements are for a particular job, maybe it is a sign that you are aiming too high too fast. There is a sort of iron law in the trades that everyone starts at the bottom and claws their way up (nothing gets handed to you- ever), but the beneficial side of this law is that what you know, you know absolutely."

Entering the trade any other way, you are only fooling yourself, the grunt work, is an important part of trade training, you can build on a good foundation.
The easy way guys, will always argue this issue, I say, let them fly with holes in the wings.
With all my years in the trade, when a young electrician that worked his way up, has something to say about a project, i listen, because he is usually well grounded as opposed to the fast freddy type, that missed the grunt work years.
