I’ve been looking for my first job by consistently calling every electrical company near me. I got a couple leads while I did get one offer. The guy offered me 17 an hr. I agreed although when he does call me again I ’ll deny and let him know I can’t do less then 20. Am I crazy to think 17 and hour is crazy low? I have my et card and I’m enrolled in trade school although I have not yet attended or have any hands on experience. This is California mind you, let me know your thoughts.

I got my et card just over 3 weeks ago and I’m set to start trade school in the next 2 months. Since then I have been applying everywhere hoping to get a chance in electrical. I’ve applied on Craigslist, and every other job website but still haven’t had one lead. What was your experience finding your first job and how long did it take. Any tips ?Also it’s worth noting I live in California, the San Fernando valley to be exact.
