Lineman or Inside?
Post Body

Hi again all. Thanks for the previous questions you've answered.

I'm currently debating about which apprenticeship to apply for and would like real world advice.

The lineman apprenticeship is 3 years vs 5 years, that appeals to me. I like working outside, but indoors is fine. From what I've gathered Inside Electricians will make more income, but not much. So, the pay isn't a crucial factor. A few questions:

  • Does anyone regret going either way?

  • Do lineman make all their money in overtime travelling for storms? AM I going to be living on the road constantly and if i chose a stationary position will it be worth the lower pay?

  • Do I need a clean MVR for a lineman apprenticeship? I got a DUI 2 years ago and have a few speeding tickets.

  • Is all of the apprenticeship going to take place at the training facility in Newnan? It's 75 minutes each way travelling for me.

Thanks in advance!
