Dear Curly\nNow that the job market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out new opportunities. This spring you need to shake off that "lucky I even have a job" mentality, polish up your resume, and explore your career options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic jobs out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible dream job you always wanted! \n(I heard the Chicago area is a great place to promote tourism? Or, just look in the yellow pages uner Associations to find the union that interests you.)\n-Bryce

Go to CalGOLD Database of California. Select the business type (they don't have a listing for handyman but they have electrical contractor, masonry contractor, etc), select your city/county and the database will show you the permits and requirements you need to do to start your business:\n\nhttp://www.calgold.ca.gov/Default.asp?VW=OUT&TOP=N&KYWD=

It entirely depends on the type of work being done by the firm you will be working for - but most apprentice programs simply require basic hand tools of good quality.  You can add specialty nippers, cutters, lifters, point drivers, etc. if and when they are needed.  For the time being you should get a tool belt or box (ask your fellow workers which they use) and fill it with good quality hand tools (Craftsman is good and widely available) including a 16 oz finish hammer, several good quality putty knives, a set of regular and phillips screwdrivers in common sizes, lineman's, slip joint, and needle nose pliers, a couple of adjustable "Crescent" type wrenches, a small 1/4" drive socket set, utlity locking or razor knife, etc.  Mostly the things you might already have in your own toolbox.\n\nAgain - wait until you see the kind of work you're doing before you invest much, and see what the other tradespeople on your crew have in their belts or boxes.  See below links for descriptions of some apprentice programs and a link to some of the specialty tools needed in the trade.\n\nGood luck in your new career! Andy

with the union, you have to be a member of the trade you specialize in, you sign the book in your local, and when your name comes up in the list, they send you to an employer.\n\nnon-union-you fill out an application and do an interview.\n\nI'm with the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers), and currently in the apprenticeship program.  I think it is a good organization and would recommend it.  Yes you can be terminated for just cause, and the union fights for the workers rights in job safety, health benefits, and fair wages

Depending on the industry you are looking in, this shouldn't be a problem.  The first place to go is the Florida AFL-CIO website and they should be able to provide you with the local union offices in the Miami area.  From there, you should be able to work with them to join their local chapter and discover what jobs are availble.\n\nGood luck

I'm sure this is not the case. I know it isn't in my county (Coos). To be an electrician here requires a 5 year apprentiship and classes at night. Then you have to take the exam and pass to be a journeyman. For journeymen coming in from out of state there are some variences, but you still have to now Oregon's electrical code.\n\nThe good part about Oregon's program however is that you can be working as an apprentice starting at 1/2 journeyman's wages while you are in school. Not too many other careers pay you to do your schooling!

Yes, have him go to the "Safer Foundation" located just west of downtown, close to Union station. They have contacts will several of the large corporations in Chicago and can get him a good paying job. They usually have you work a couple of smaller jobs first until they can evaluate how well you work and then they can set you up with Commonwealth Edison, Peoples Energy, etc.
