thanks for the advice guys. sorry about the union non-union deal.

currently, i am attending school in santa clara. called IBT(institute for business and technology).

i have called around and applied for serveral places. all seemed very nice, but havent got any responses yet. i have also tried the local parts supplier and they dont have anything posted either. while i was there i was talking to an independant electrician and he was very upset about the new law. he mentioned that he couldnt get any help b/c of it. his insurance wouldnt cover me if he hired me b/c i wasnt certified or registered with the state. the advice he gave me was i should try to work for a big company, instead of independant contractors like himself.

i have also looked on craigslist but all need a min. experience req. damn, i never wanted a job so bad in my life.
