“Considering electrician career through IBEW or USAF”
What Actually Happened
I'm struggling to decide between pursuing a stable electrician career through IBEW or joining the USAF to become an electrical worker. I'm worried about not passing the IBEW aptitude test and my fear of heights is holding me back from pursuing the USAF's electrical worker role.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew more about the IBEW's apprenticeship program and the USAF's electrical worker role to make a more informed decision."
