Schooling is good, but nothing like hands on experience. Here in AZ it slowed after Sept 11th, the same elswhere I'm sure, but there are still some construction jobs out there. The hard to find jobs are "Elec Maint" such as a manufacturing co, city, school districts, power companies, etc. Usually have to have many years in or know someone to get in when ther is an opening. I have my own one man shop I started 3 years ago, after about 25 years in the trade, and I like it much better. Hope this does'nt discourage you.
Good Luck,
