A lot of the community colleges have evening courses for the education

Literally all my customers do. I know some electricians that are now getting $135 an hour. The thing you have to understand about being a self-employed electrician, is that there are going to be hours that you cannot bill. Because of that you generally need to have a higher billable hourly rate.

I am a Master electrician here in Maine I can confirm. Most helpers are starting at 20 to $25 an hour non-union. I think the union rates are a little bit lower actually initially, but that's a trade-off where further into the apprenticeship you'll be making more than the non-union kids. I'm self-employed and charge $105 an hour.

Are you talking about an active ata port on an ont? Anyway there's no requirement for the service provider to provide the backup solution for that, they can simply tell the customer how to perform a backup solution to make it last 24hr.

That's not true, cable companies use amplifiers on their lines, they need to be powered. There are usually battery backups cabinets mounted to the utility poles, when these batteries run out the internet stops flowing.

That's not true, I think you are confusing voip power stuff.

$100 I think the fine has to be collected upon complaint by the utility.

Am I the only one who thinks it's ridiculous that her arraignment is in December? What a failure of our justice system.

The property tax freeze will be bad for young people as the state continues to lose their young to an increasing older population. One day the state will not fund the lost revenue to the municipalities and taxes for young people will soar!

In the end of the day it's all about what you learn, how much you study and who you work with.

Bullshit. I did it in four years non-union. Union you should be able to do it in 6-7. Maine has an accelerated program for those using the community college (non union route). I personally think the union does a better job with teaching electricians.

He's best off going union becoming a master and then ditching the union and running his own business. A lot of electricians here are pushing $100/hr now. I'm a Maine master electrician myself and bill out at $135/hr.
