In your area are you required to go to school before you can work as an electrician? If not I would go to work for an electricial company full time, even if you go to school you will be more likely to understand your class work as it relates in the feild and after two years on the job you will have 4000 hours towards a journeymans license. As for pay, I'm in Georgia and I pay 12.50/hr for unexperienced wire pullers and $14 -$20/hr for experienced good help plus bonuses. Also for perspective, in georgia, we don't have Journeymen electricians, you either have a masters license or nothing. Hope this helps.
