What do you do for work/profession?

GOOD FOR YOU! One thing to remember, the professors are being paid to teach you. Don’t let them off the hook. If you are struggling, pay them an office visit. As an example: I made a career shift and went to college nine years after high school ( wasn’t a good student in high school). I was struggling to understand some of the concepts in one of my physics classes. On one particular day before an exam, I spent six hours in the professor’s office (I recognize not all profs will be so patient). If he had to leave to teach another class, I was there waiting for him when he came back. It took a lot of work on both of our parts, but he taught and I learned.

Good luck in your new career!

Thank you! I take the SASAS Monday for placement... Been watching some youtube vids lol... And practicing a little... I'm at Clover Park Tech in Lakewood WA... Seems like an ok place...I wasn't very good in school either... I didn't graduate high school and just finished a HS+ program with them and got my diploma so I could go after this commercial electrician...

I agree with this but AI is going to touch all industries in some way, construction included. Talking to a friend in construction and he mentioned for certain builds they are experimenting with leveraging AI to have every piece of wood perfectly precut and ready to be assembled (think prefab rafters that come to sites but pretty much the whole house.) interesting stuff… I wouldn’t want to be just about to go to college these days for sure..

They already have whole framing packages for two story 3000+- square foot homes you don't have to cut a single stud, top or bottom plate for... Or floor joist... They come labeled and banded together... Been like that here for 15+ years now...

My middle daughter is a commercial/industrial electrician, there is a crazy demand for electricians in the Boise area,

My license would be good in WA and OR I believe... Maybe more... I'm not sure, that's all I looked up at the moment... It's a good career... In 4 years after 8000 hours when your get your certification it's $93/hr...
