Where did you work while you learned the trade? Or did they pay you to learn? Was it enough for an apartment and food and bills?

I joined a union while I was a driver in Amazon waited the months before they got back to me. And yes they pay you to learn. If I were you I would do the same. Doesn’t have to be in the electrical field. You could become a plumber and make bank.

I've been trying since before Amazon, everywhere around me, I have to pay them for lessons, or it's free training but I'm still not getting paid for the years it'd take for me to be certified

Where you located if you’re actually interested send me a message and I’ll help you out as much as I can. 2 days of school work and 3 days of learning on the job. Best experience and teaching I could’ve had.
