He needs hours under a master to be able to take the Journeyman test for his license most likely. Plumbers and electricians here in Michigan need documented hours to be able to take the tests. I assume its the same in most states.

I think in one of my rambles here that I went the state license route. You needed X number of hours to be able to take the test. When I met that amount I applied. I was rejected as saying I didn't demonstrate the amount of hours. This was in the days of paper checks and I always kept my stubs. I copied my stubs, 3 to a page, and sent them back as proof and was allowed to take the test.
I was only asking as it's different everywhere. The system I just described above is different now in NC, as they went with a nationwide testing system that I had to take in TN (who did not reciprocate with NC at the time and do now). Frankly as with most things in life, it didn't mean you were a good electrician, it just meant you were good at taking a test.

I should be eligible about Oct of 2026.
Between the form the master fills out and proof of income it should go as smoothly.

He'll never let you forget that either though. Get that journeyman and make you a journey elsewhere unless he forks over your worth.

You don't wear one full time? Hell I was office staff and I had to wear HH , one of those stupid hi vis jackets, safety glasses , and gloves when I was on a site. Oh and we had to wear boots, but that I didn't mind. Love me some Wolverine electrical rated 'steel toe (non metallic) boots.

Nah, mostly shorts, tennis shoes, and safety glasses. Only bust out the boots if we fucking with 2 1/2+ EMT, even then...

No idea, I use them for all the metal chips that get flung around, it is a massive CnC machine warehouse, otherwise it is good for hammer drill into concrete etc. got to hang out while this was being moved, complete shit show. Had to rewire a bunch of machines last week.

Just like hardhats, that's not what they are deisnged for. Hardhats are mostly to protect your head when you run into something while working or ducking under something and misjudge it. Not having something serious drop on you, droped pens and pencils from a distance above you, not a bolt. If you are around something serious you need more than safety glasses places normally require a face shield or similiar. Safety glasses are for stuff like flying small shrapnel you can't really even see sometimes. Someone working at a distance hammering on metal, a lathe, mill or just random metal to metal grinding on the jobsite.

Is that really a Class E hardhat? I'm sure it can be a fake carbon fiber pattern, but it would weird me out having my hard hat look like it was made out of something conductive as hell. I'd make sure you keep whatever stickers intact identifying it as such so you don't get thrown off a site if they require it.
I hate wearing hard hats, the amount of times I've fucked up my neck by forgetting that extra height it adds and bashing into something I'd normally clear is immeasurable.

Not sure they are even rated for it. Been a minute since I've been in a NFPA70E book but I think the high C kits had blast shields for scenarios where that could occur. Any linemen on here? They may know.

I'd think more that color. Dark colors will be hot as a motherfucker by days end, not that basic white is much better.
