If I get an electrical apprenticeship though the air force in Australia, will I be employed when I get out? I'm looking to be an electrician in Australia, as my means of falling back in case my pilot career doesn't take off. Learning the trade through the army or air force looks promising, it doesn't take as long and the pay is much better than if I were to do a civilian apprenticeship. I will have over 200k after the 6 years if I do this. I also love the idea of the military because of all the other benefits like tax free pay, traveling, food and accommodation paid for, free medical treatment etc. The one thing I am concerned about is how employers see this in the civilian world, I'm curious about whether employers will be less likely to employ me because I was trained in the military rather than the regular way. I know that in the military my training will be focused on the military, and not on the types of things a regular electrician would be doing. My uncle is a supervisor in the mining industry, and he said they tend not to employ people trained in the military because they lack the civilian experience, even though straight out of the military they have been working as a qualified electrician for 4 years. So my question is will this hurt me, and what will my chances for a job be, if I was just out of the forces with 2 years training and another 4 years working as an electrician, compared to somebody just out of a 4 year apprenticeship or perhaps working 1 or 2 years after? Also note that moving to America is something I have been considering, so anybody with knowledge of whether I will find employment in the states will be helpful too.

stay as a electrician or be a Electrical engineer? I am currently starting my electrical apprenticeship with a company (working for them for 4months now).

apprenticeships v university?? iam in my first year in an electrical engineering apprenticeship where once i finish my time i will have technician qualifications (HNC). iam still considering uni though, the thing is i see my friends coming back from uni saying wat a great time they have been having, and to be honest the social side of things and the independance is very appealing. This makes me think regularly, should i be going to uni?! i dont think i have the grades to get into most decent courses, and i realise that there is no real point in going unless i would get a decent qualification out of it. but there is always the chance that because i have played sport at a high level for my age groups then i might get accepted for courses that i would not normally. So is there any point in me thinking about it seen as i might not get a decent degree out of it?? Or should i stick with my apprenticeship and stop being jealous of my mates who have a great time????? the thing is i have never realy knew exactly what i wanted to do so this has made things difficult
