He’d be homeless, no college or high school degree and only had sporadic work experience as a carpenter.

What would his job prospects look like as he tried to convince the well-heeled, designer-clothes wearing, Mercedes-driving Baptists and other fundies that he was their lord and savior, returned?

I’m enrolled in a program called OYAP. (ontario youth apprenticeship program) Which basically means on mondays and fridays I go to college in the city for inschool classes for first term electrical. On tuesdays-thursdays I work in and around town with a master electrician. Sort of like an apprentice, but I get no money :( BUT my hours count towards my apprenticeship.
Last year I worked at an electrical wholesale store, so I already knew all the technical terms for all the equipment and stuff we would be dealing with.

So when I’m finished this program in June, I will have completed my first term apprenticeship.

Would it be difficult for me to find an employer? I will still only be 17 when I start looking for someone to take me on. Would my age affect anything or is it strictly based on experience?

Thanks in advance!

how can i make it so another conductable object that is not wired to the circuit get the electricity flowing through it….P.s. it is not connected at all i want to cahnnel the electricity into the air like how static electricity is formed?

Do you think it is possible to mix static electricity in with the current flow? (that is how i think the electricity will be transmitted)

How can i sustain a charge of static electricity to mix with the electric field?

If i make an electric circuit how would i do so and how can i convert the magneticfield into an electric one…..P.s. i know the movement of an magnetic field makes an electric one but i want to know how i move the magnetic field.
