Damn I didn't know you had to go through all of that to become an electrician in NYC. Maybe it's some other classification? Never too late to do it!
But yea, as far as the brotherhood goes, it's pretty awesome and we do take care of each other in times of need.
You're right on the never too late part.
Every Electrician apprentice needs an AS to become a Journeyman. Dudes making $$$ while sitting on a bucket. Rightfully so.
