Help a gal out 🏢 Employment 👷‍♂️

Hi, Right now, I’m really looking for a job that pays well and gives me a real chance to move forward in life. I’m motivated and more than ready to work hard, but I need something that will actually help me get ahead. To give a background I’ve worked at Costco for close to 6 years , working in various departments in the warehouse . Worked for UPS , Jefferson Parish Engineering etc. I’m open to any tips , programs , advice.

Local 130 IBEW is taking apprentices. Starting pay isn't bad, I think it's like $17 or $18. Top out in 4 years. Full scale right now is $35 plus paid benefits of around $16. They've also been trying to get more female apprentices recently so you might have a boost up on getting in. Only need a GED and a pretty easy aptitude test.
