Becoming and electrician; joining local 134

Thanks for your input. I’m 19 as well and I was accepted to 134 in December and scheduled to begin school tomorrow actually, but as you’d imagine it’s been postponed until further notice.

A couple corrections though, 134 now only tests twice a year instead of quarterly, they took 180 people from my test in November and put the first 90 in the January school cycle and the other 90 in the April cycle. Also, when I did jumpstart in October it was the 3 Saturdays before the test and the director said that the jumpstart certificate now takes the place of a letter of recommendation. So to get the highest number of points for the letter of recommendation category on the application you’d have to take jumpstart, so a letter isn’t necessary if you do it.
