More fun....

In an effort to try and get some kind of work I recently had a trip to my local Electrician’s Union. After some talking and going over experience I was informed that I would be able to start with the union as an "Unlicensed Journeyman" great I get to skip the apprentice stage thanks to my prior work history! Except that they continued by informing me that there is nothing local and if I wanted work I would need to travel 5+ hrs to another area where they have a job going currently. They also mentioned that our local area rarely has work and when it does it is usually underpaid to top it off.
