Yes so true they think college is the only the only way to get paid more imo . Am almost 26 and I think college is great for certain jobs but it shouldn't be forced onto kids nothing is wrong with trade I was thinking about going into hvac or wielding I wanna go into cyber security but the tec job market kinda sucks now.

@@adrianjuarez1162 I’m a Electrical Contractor for over 40 years semi retired… We need people ,you put your hours in 4 years depending on your state you live in , get your license and your off and running easily 80 to 100,000 a year . If you get your masters license potentially a lot more money ,the sky’s the limit . I’ll be honest its sometimes dirty and it’s hard work , but it’s very rewarding, Everyday is different there is so much to learn in the Electrical Trade . The best part NO STUDENT LOANS … Good luck to you !!

I am also an electrician, but are you studying in this field?
Nice! I use a 6" hole saw for making easy access holes in drywall. Easy patching too because it goes back in perfect.

Good tip! I guess any size holesaw would work granted it's big enough
You do awesome work. And you are learning as you go. Ladder safety is so important. The number I killer of tradespeople is ladder falls at the 6’ level. Maybe your company can do some ladder safety training. Keep up the good work. Awesome to have young tradespeople
OSHA would be slapping you on the wrist for the ladder infraction lol. Good work.
thank you as well. stay blessed
Thanks for the inspiration! I'm probably starting THIS September!!
I appreciate the content on your channel & Lexi’s too. 😃👍🏾 Thanks for sharing.
thanks for sharing a day on the job some times there can be challenge at the end all works out be safe
New blood in the trade awesome youngsters 👊🏽👊🏽

Have you seen the Milwaukee m18 fish tape they came out with? It looks like it would be a nice quality of life tool instead of the manual tape.
All I can say is: You're awesomely Amazing!🤙👍💚

A little bit more commentary on what you are doing and the pros and cons of alt methods would enhance the video rather than just the music 😊
Good job and looking lovely lady 🌹
Looks cooler than plumbing
Parabéns Karly além de ótima profissional divide seus conhecimentos de graça conosco obrigada.
Great professional, women beautiful eletrician
Thanks for making this video! I'm looking into being an electrician and the sight of all of those wires and cables just freaks me out and makes me feel like I could easily fuck something up. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's not as intimidating as it looks...

I remember feeling overwhelmed like that too when I was an apprentice. Don’t worry, once you figure out what you’re doing you’ll learn to just deal with one wire at a time. Think of it like clearing a heavily wooded area. It looks pretty intimidating at first but you just start chopping down one tree at a time and before you know it, you’ve only got a few trees left and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel approaching
Your great mam . ..

Don’t be afraid to make a bigger hole on the drywall. Patching a 6” hole vs a 12” hole is still just tape and mud.

Good point! Personally I like to cut out the drywall from stud to stud especially when I need plenty of space to work with such as drilling holes in studs or headers or especially when needing to access above a hard ceiling. If you cut the sheetrock to the center of the stud on both sides, you have enough stud showing to screw the same piece you cut out right back into place. Easy peasy!
It’s always something that will come up on a job site.
You are a wonderful and beautiful engineer. Congratulations to you for this beautiful work. But why do you not respond to our admiration for you?❤
Try sonde elettricista, we use it here in italy.
👍❤👌
How does your electric work truck handle the cold? I know Lithium ion and cold are not friends.
Can u do a video on installing a ceiling fan?
Oooo you ill👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It’s better to cut stud to stud. You can screw it back in and the Sheetrock ppl can just mud it. It seems worse like you’re cutting a larger hole, but it’s better for the worker coming behind you. Sometimes people I do work for will ask if I can patch what I cut for $$$. Might as well make a few extra hundred for a little bit of extra work. Maybe it’s because I’m an electrician and not a sheet rocker, but the patch kits are a pain in the ass.
Apprentice volunteer as tribute. ..🤔how nice .....

Do you work alone ? Or buddy system work with?
What about using the Klein Tools fiberglass fish tape instead of the steel one?

Hi Karly I am wondering how tall you are? I'm about 163cm tall so a shorter than average girl looking to start an apprenticeship (starting TAFE for a cert 2/pre apprenticeship in April) and lowkey nervous about not being as tall/strong as the average man in the trade. Have you had any issues surrounding build in this line of work? Just not looking forward to the inevitable sexism I guess. Thanks so much for your channel, you are inspiring! River - Melbourne Aus 😊
Hey I like to be a electrician but please answer to this question? What car you drive 😄
Which pathway did you chose and why, apprentice, trade school, community college thank you for your time.

I mean, I hate to be that guy, but the way you stand on A-Frame ladders just makes my legs hurt from watching lol. Maybe try and use them properly before you end up on the floor yelling in pain. Trust me, I have been there and learned my lesson. Just be safe!

By the way, I loved the video otherwise! Not trying to hate, just encouraging safety. You don't have to take my words into practice, most don't. I just have seen many injuries in my time from people not using the A-Frames properly. But loved the video!
Are you operating your own company? Seems like you have an eager apprentice. Volunteering to do the dirty work in the attic, must score a few points with you.

I am not fan of the layout and design of the circuit board. Then I like our standard better in Denmark. 230V, but only 10A :P... Don't got those fancy latters though
How do you get an apprenticeship? Do you contact companies directly or go to an agency? What’s the best way?

The IBEW has the best apprenticeship program. What major town or city are you closest to and I can get you the number to call and apply. Or you can look up IBEW apprenticeship or NJATC. If you meet the requirements and are accepted, they will place you with a contractor so you can begin your on the job training while you go to school. The pay is decent just starting as a 1st year apprentice not knowing anything. It’s usually about 50% of the journeyman pay scale for your area
We dress almost exactly the same. If we stood next to each other, it would look like we shopped together, lol.
Where did you go to school to become an electrician
In my opinion the electrical wiring an distribution boxes in in america is botch. You have to look at distribution boxes and electrical cabinets in the industry in germany. Everything is way more orgenized and the used devices in the electrical cabinet are most time protected from touching things that have live voltage.
cool, i love to see your job, you are so Beautiful
😊
You even have yourself an apprentice? Bravo beautiful lady!

Determined to find a girl like this one day lol
Without using any safety gloves you're doing this kind of hazardous job . Lots of Sharp edges during termination cables.
Somebody’s going fishing.
You will fall off your ladder if you keep standing on the top… its just a matter of time
Don't stand on the very top step of the step ladder. Splat
It must be annoying having someone following you around all day playing the guitar loudly. Like in restaurants sometimes when on vacation when a band walks up to your table and plays music in your face while you're eating your dinner and you have to give them a tip to go away and annoy someone else.
Your ladder isn't tall enough to be considered safe?
get you some walkie talkies
What's your salary like?
When cutting access holes- use ur saw for 3 sides. Use utility knife on side 4 and just a quick score , punch and score again. Save ur strength as much as possible. As you age you’ll figure out little short cuts to save ur joints

Hi
I feel like the quality of supplies from city electric has gone down
Ur just so cute
are there days where you hate what you do?
SAFETY FIRST You broke every safety code there is in less than 3 minutes. The top step of ladder is not a step. You stepped on the top step, used to hold screw drivers ONLY. Your elite apprentice was on the ladder the opposite way. You both do not follow safety protocols. If you continue these bad habits, you both will end up in the hospital with broken legs, ribs and hips. You both need to take a safety course.
Hi Karly ! Почему ты не надеваешь перчатки во время работы? Ты очень красивая. Пожалуйста береги свои ладони и волосы. Sorry
Bg music is too loud
“An EV charger”, not “a EV charger”. 🤷♂️
Your ladder safety is scary

Please edit your videos so we don't see you working off the top step of your ladder or working in a live panel without PPE. At least have some class 0 gloves.
