I asked bing for you(r friend) and it was generally encouraging. Apprenticeships take four years, you need a HS diploma etc etc. It had a good insight about joining a union as a first step to help find an apprenticeship though. I think I heard that long ago from a human electrician. bing > consider joining a union or a professional group that can offer you guidance and support during your apprenticeship journey. Some examples are International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC), and Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Anyway cant you(r friend) work both angles until something takes off? Apply to some unions / apprenticeships and dev jobs? Let the universe decide? Personally I think its a great idea. I wish I'd thought of it during my last job search.
