Hello! So I'm looking to get into this field and plan on starting an apprenticeship asap, however I unfortunately am going to be moving to another state in May and am therefore hesitant to start an apprenticeship here knowing I'll have to drop it in a few months and probably won't be able to transfer the hours over.
In the meantime though I still want to get a feel for the trade and start learning in person (for anything construction-related really) rather than just watching Electrician U videos-- what would you guys recommend as far as hourly jobs go? I was thinking maybe applying to Home Depot or another hardware store for as hands-on a job I can find, but I don't know if that'll actually be helpful or if there's a better way I could use my time.
Any advice would be very helpful, I have virtually no practical experience in any trade as is (I've been working as a server for the past year and a half since I made the wise move of graduating with a history degree) but I'm excited to get started! Thanks in advance!
