There's almost a bidding war for certified J-men out here in Kern County. Since taking the test, I've gotten $10.00/hr more, an extra week of vacation, plus free health insurance for my family. The boss raised his rates (quite substantially) on the oil companies we work for, for certified j-men and above.
I wonder if Andy could entice me out of Kern Co? (That actually wouldn't be hard, but my wife is glued here by her job and family...) Just another thing I love about being an electrician... I can work anywhere
So Andy, I'm licensed in the state of Michigan as a master electrician and a contractor. I've been running my own business as a sole proprietor since 1990 but things in MI are pretty slow. What does it take to get certified, and what are you offering in pay and benefits?
