I a 49 year old third year apprentice. Was a machinist, worked both commercial and residential. I only work part time cause the work here in wetern mass is slow but I preferred commercial work to residential. Not to take anything away from the residential guys but the pace is really hetic you have to really move it to make money I found that you learn a lot more doing commercial work. From fire alarms to telephone networking to pipe bending and 3 phase wireing. Just be sure they are a reputable company and watch for trip and electrical hazards and you will be fine.I should have done this in my 20s rather than almost 50.
