Tell me about being an electrician and / or truck driver
After riding the National Guard gravy train for the past 10 years I find myself without any military opportunities presenting themselves. My experience is in flying helicopters, but those jobs are very location dependent and not very many are presenting themselves where I live.
From people I've spoken with, getting CDL seems like a good way to find employment as shipping companies are always hiring. Or, my thought was, looking into becoming an electrician as it seems that that is an in-demand skill that won't destroy your body the way that other construction jobs will.
So, any insight into either career would be appreciated.
Basically, pros-cons, how much training is required, and what does a typical career look like in either field?
