Not for the faint of heart. Beginner laborer is where you'll start. Not glamorous but is a way up. I know several masons and they can work circles around me. My good friend was still at it to his late sixties, worked smart not hard.

I decided to become a union electrician at 47 years old. A bit of a learning curve with me in a class of late teen to mid 20 year olds. Absolutely my best decision ever.

The experiences, comeradery, education bennies were all I was looking for, also it kept me from getting "soft". I don't need no gym.

Now retired from the IBEW with extraordinary benefits and memories.

Previously worked for Schlage Lock (retired as well) as a systems intergrater and wish I had spent more years in the IBEW than there.
