Q: How long does is take to become an electrician if you do to trade school?
My boyfriend wants to go to trade school to become an electrician, but I have a couple questions. In California, how long does it take? & will my boyfriend still be able to work and go to school, or is it extremely time consuming like beauty school? Also, do you need a high school diploma? & how does the process of becoming an electrician actually work? Also, is there any kind of financial aid for trade school?

A: I dunno if this will help... But I'm a 2nd year apprentice electrician in Australia. The government here gives us $1000 each year just to be an apprentice. It takes 4 years until you are fully qualified. We also have the option to go to a technical college. In are final 2 years of high school, Year 11 and Year 12, over here, we could do part time work/school. So 1 day trade school, 2 days high school, 2 days work. So instead of 4 years, the apprenticeship takes 5 because the 1st year is part time for 2 years. Here you only need Year 10 pass but it depends on the employer.

Q: Which is more legitimate community college or trade school?
Which is more legitimate (in the eyes of an employer) community college or trade school? I've been to both and I'm leaning towards community college as the better bet. What do you think?

A: It honestly depends on what career you want to enter into. If you want to be a mechanic, a carpenter, or a welder then trade school would be a better option. However, if you want to say work in construction and eventually move up into management you might be better off getting a formal education.

Q: Has anyone graduated from a trade school and works successfully in that field?
Watching all these commercials on TV for trade schools (ie ITT Tech, Bryan Straton) and I wonder if a good job that pays for the tuition in the end is possible.

A: Trade schools, like any college education are well worth the investment if you study hard and make the grades. It all comes down to you in the end. I've found that trade schools are an excellent route for the person who's not interested in attending a 4 year college and just wants to get a skill and start working. There are a lot of very successful people out there with trade school degrees or certifications. My husband is one of them. He completeed a 9 month certification program in computers.Now, he is the Director of IT for one of the largest newspapers in the country.

I know they will fund for college courses, but will they fund for a trade school such as Lincoln Tech or ATI? I am a single parent, and i want to attend AutoMechanic School, I just can not afford the tuition with what I am making. so to summarize, Will they and if they will, where would i began i.e. what website would i visit, where would i go in town or who do i write to.

A: You can get grants and even a low cost student loans to help out with expenses. As long as you are in school the loans are in deferment, so you don't have to worry about them until you graduate/certification, or get employed. WWW.FAFSA.COM click on it and fill out an online application. They will ask what Technical School and a school code. You can list one or more schools. Do a search on Lincoln Tech or ATI they may have online applications as well. Keep copies for future reference. You are on your way. Good Luck.

Q: Whats a good job w/ good pay when you go to a trade school?
I was thinking of going to a trade school?

A: You can go for anything. It depends what you do after you graduate. The best bet would be to open your own business. You can get paid whatever you want, control your own hours, and you can bring in any ideas! I am currently attending a trade school to become a chef. I want to open my own restaurant which can get me more money than if I was work in a restaurant owned by someone else or was to even become a manager the owner will still make more money. Choose whatever field you desire but try opening up your own business. My great uncle opened a nursing home and was RICH!!! I mean it. Although he lost it all when someone died there and they sued him. (This all happened in 2000) My dad had his own business for computer programming and made 125,000 dollars a year. So opening your own business can work just make sure you are more precautions and know what you are doing which you will get out of this trade school.
