However due to current economic situation i might not have this job in 4/5 months! I am going to travel but i cant decide whether or not to move out with friends, go back to college and get an apprenticeship electrician course whilst i still can coz im young enough and then go traveling (but would have to stay here for another 3.5 yrs) or just go traveling now and be gone for a very long time and risk of coming back with what little qualifications i have now and to an economy thats proper fooked and me not be able to get a job?

So I want to know if there is any other good schools near Maplewood, MN that offer drafting courses at a small expense or if i need a degree or a certificate to be an electrician. And if so.. where could I obtain one of those? Also I was looking at school through Penn Foster and I was wondering if they are taken seriously. Like the education looks good but will an employer just throw my degree out because it is an online school? Because thats something that I have noticed alot of people saying about ITT and I obviously dont want to be involved again with another school like that.

Thanks for the help guys!

This is a long read but please help!!! Will we be okay financially?!? http://www.howtobecomeanelectrician.com/electricquestions/honest-opinion-needed-this-is-a-long-read-but-please-help-will-we-be-okay-financially/ http://www.howtobecomeanelectrician.com/electricquestions/honest-opinion-needed-this-is-a-long-read-but-please-help-will-we-be-okay-financially/#comments Mon, 23 May 2011 00:12:05 +0000 electric http://www.howtobecomeanelectrician.com/electricquestions/honest-opinion-needed-this-is-a-long-read-but-please-help-will-we-be-okay-financially/ this is a very serious question and I purposely chose the marriage & divorce category as I felt people who were randomly dating wouldn’t be of assistance.

I don’t want anyone to think this is under my influence but my boyfriend needs and wants a better job. We’ve recently moved in together and granted the bills are paid and things are being taken care of but more than ever we are discussing marriage, children, buying our first home etc etc and there is no doubt in either of our minds that these things will never happen, they are all very much apart of our future together but both of our concerns is that while our combined income is 102 thousand of which 66% of that is my income and if push came to shove he wouldn’t be able to carry the household on his job alone. Just so that we are clear… this is something that he has mentioned to me on several occasions, I have never said directly or indirectly to him that he needs to make any changes in his job or otherwise (this is actually the first time I’ve even mentioned the subject)

Anyhow, I completely understand that there is always a “bread winner” in the family however without any push or complaint from me he’s expressed the desire to do better and not just for me but for himself and our future which I love and admire him so much for but here is the problem… He’s 34 and has worked for 12 years as an outside cable tech for an independent contracting company that works for a major cable company (outside meaning he does all the outside cable lines, telephone poles, underground wiring etc etc. like he would never come to your house and reboot your box sort of thing) He also has an associates degree in liberal arts as well as some kind of software certificate but honestly we have no clue what he can or should do? About 9 years ago he became what is considered a senior tech so there really isn’t anywhere else to go within his current job. He has all the knowledge and know how and as far as pay is concerned he’s reached the highest salary allocated for a contracted tech. Ideally he would love to be an electrician but that’s about 3/5 years worth of studying and we need and want to start the preparations for our future now (i.e. we need money) as we hope to be married in the next 2 years and start a family (I mean he’s 34 and Im 27, not to say time is running out but its not exactly on our side here) so he’s thinking of joining the army which Im really not to thrilled about. Honestly can someone please give me some incite here. I mean anything he decides to do even if its means keeping his same job is fine by me I’ll support anything he wants to do but I have to admit although Ive always said to him, we’ll be smart with our savings and decisions, etc and never let him know otherwise but my greatest fear is when or if we get married and do start a family and I take time off (if I can) to raise the kids or God forbid if he ever gets injured at work (because if he doesn’t work he doesn’t get paid… nor does he have any sort of 401K) we wont have the money to maintain ourselves. I mean my salary is more than enough for now but when you think of the cost of raising a family and we live modestly and I know there are many that survive on less but when it comes to family life, etc women sacrifice so much that as the bread winner I don’t want to be in a position where I would have to choose between taking that extra month with my newborn or not having children at all nor do I want a husband that feels that he cant provide for me or our family and this in no way has anything to do with him being insecure I just think it has a lot to do with his morals and values instilled in him by his parents and family dynamics.

Please don’t ridicule our situation as love should be enough but honestly its not. These are serious issues that maybe some don’t take the time to discuss and / or sort out before they make life long decisions. We both just want our happily ever after and I don’t mean like a Cinderella fantasy or a life complete of material possessions, we just don’t want to have to struggle and worry (which I know is a reality) but we don’t want to drown in life.
oh should I mention that we live in New York City
