Been a certified electrician for a while now ...and I :eat:

Just read a post a lil bit down talking about the furlough process. I didn't know about this. I know it's gonna take me a bit to get to journeyman level... But do you pick up outside jobs during that furlough period? Collect unemployment? Not sure how that is supposed to work.

I've watched Floyd fights with the President of Power and Sons here in Indiana. He's cool with my stepfather.

Claude Powers is his name and they are Black owned and operated

Gary, Indiana-based Powers & Sons Construction Co. Inc., one of the nation’s largest Black-owned businesses. With 2011 revenues of more than $39 million, Powers & Sons is ranked No. 70 on the Black Enterprise 100s list of the nation’s largest Black-owned industrial/service companies.

They get it in and they employ a lot of black folks. If you have the chops for it, they will hire you. They drive their ugly green trucks everywhere, lol.

You'll be paid higher than women and you can find jobs with little to no patient care, international opportunities, entry pay is 40/hr

I think we need more black male nurses anyway.

Too many gay cacs :francis:

:leon: x 1000

Are you going to school for this? Or do you currently go?

Techs can always advance and improve.. and everybody is always gonna need techs...

On top of that usually the job they have has some type of training program or opportunities to advance... It's the main reason I'm taking a job 150k less than another job right now really.. I can work my way up through a company while making bank and still work on my computer science degree


And actually, the Medical TECH field is where the bank is at. Met an old head on my flight to Miami who put me on to that...


And Cyber security/hacking is where the real real bank is at... No degree required
I'm a medical technologist and while it pays well um back in school getting a physicians assistant degree. Med tech is boring as fukk. And all medical degrees pay well. Hell nurses out here eating good

Yep. Expecially considering that most bruhs dont know Phillips from a flathead screw driver and call AAA when they have a flat tire. Working with your hands is always valuable. Knew one older White guy in DC who was an electrician and got these high dollar contracts with the govt and business.
