ETITO Electrician - Just the Job

[jh78ghbn56]

Im 8 months into my apprenticeship and Ive learnt that my colleagues are alot more smarter than i first credited them for :D

[krisinmaine]

the first thing an apprentice learns on the job is.......get some friken strippers!

[miimarket]

trades are on big money now!

[DaMostEnigmatic]

I wish I did this type of work straight out of high school instead of rushing into college

[DaMostEnigmatic]

I want to learn electrical work to have something to fall back on, skills that will never be outsourced and always in demand no matter what, plus I could learn to maintain my own home

[Audi2000t]

its never too late to be an electrician, im a sparky myself, already im on 1k take home a week including overtime around 60 hrs a week though! still a first year but worth it site allowance travel allowance incentives, havent regretted the trade. love it.

[mofospinner]

Wow. Using Linemen's pliers to strip 12Ga. wire? There are much more efficient ways to strip wire. Try using "Wire Strippers" which are made for stripping wire. Other than that, glad to see somebody young taking interest in a trade.

[TF23lliot]

im doing a program at school now called 'gateway' which is set up through Unitec. Im a year 12 and really wanting to carry on through with an apprenticeship as an electrician. The only thing is how :/

[MrBuddyisreal]

im an apprentice right now. i got the job instantly cause my dad has worked with the company for years.

[ibeleaf]

jesus why not just give the kid a pair of propper strippers instead of a pair of klien pliers, i know it's quicker and cooler, but not for someone that hasn't got a clue...!? the guy is showing off.

[Audi2000t]

@ibeleaf how is he showing off thats how all sparky's strip cable, if the kid wants to be an electrician then his going to have to learn how the trade operates.

[bengaz07]

its all in the thumb,

[pullywullypirate]

can anyone tell me if you have to use math a lot on the job?>??

[Audi2000t]

@pullywullypirate not on the job much but definately at school all subjects for cert III includes maths.

[cbsctomh]

there is a lot of awsome apprenticeship programs now offered by tech schools and are highly recomended

[aiden9003]

I'm going to Job Corps in a few months I signed up for an Electrician and it looks very interesting to me, and since Electricians will always be in demand seems like a VERY good career to get into.

[williamiscool123]

hey, Im in year 10 at school and im going to do a cert 2 in sustained energy to introduce to electrotechnology, I want to be an electrician and I was told that this is a good way to get introduced as it is hard to find an apprentiship without finishing year 12. Is this a good idea? then I can find an apprentaship at the end of year 12.

[01ETITO]

@williamiscool123 Yep - I think you've got the right idea! A lot of employers want to see that you'll be able to cope with the theory component of an apprenticeship, and good marks at school are the best way to prove that. The core subjects they'll be looking for will be Science, Maths and English. Good luck with your studies.

[williamiscool123]

@01ETITO Thanks for your responce.

[ZzC4NC3LzZ]

i going to work exp for electrician next monday wish me luck

[01ETITO]

@ZzC4NC3LzZ good luck, hope it all works out for you!

[JFguitar22]

sorry for my bad english ...hello i'm 24 and i'm so tired of my boring job.....i want to return to school in Electricity but it takes 2 years where i live so...when i'll finish i will be 26 or 27 years old...is it too old to be an apprentice ?? i want so bad to be an electrician ....but at 27 years old is it too old ??

[01ETITO]

@JFguitar22 The oldest apprentice I've met was in his late forties and loving it. There's plenty of apprentices about your age, and 27 isn't THAT old!!! If your current job isn't working for you, go for it.

[JFguitar22]

@01ETITO thanks man...it helps me a lot! :) i tought i was too old

[VicePresidentBob]

@JFguitar22

nope never is too late become an apprentice especially in australia, i was dating a girl and her father was 52 and was an apprentice chippy.

[ryancouture]

good lookin dude

[ajittffcure]

Very honest thoughts expressed here. I like it.

[lukeeybitch]

i wanna be an electrician :D

[iliketo9]

ETITO IS SHIT!@!! do ur learning at unitec or get a real degree and make it uhp thea. fucking this is far from it.

[iliketo9]

oh fucking hell this is all js fucking shit.., LOLZ im a contracted Sparky and i work along side with the registered sparkys and we fuck around most days but the point is always made and we will always get a good long runs worth of work in. we dont fuck around as much as these days. what you people see here is nothing compared to the real world. the theory work and that aswell is all just shit aswell. id go higher.. get a degree and be the one that owns the electricians.

[indigo4fox]

Apprentice?????No way!!!!!!He is a helper!!!

[whiteasasheet]

spaky trade is rubbish been a spark for 12 years under payed and over worked get a real job matey for a start the boss was stripping with uninsulated strippers and never test a circuit lol.

[HOMEnHIGH]

@whiteasasheet ...have u ever gone to a house thats pitch black, and when u have fixed the electric and the lights have come on, you found that u had a womans boobs in your hand by mistake..?

[whiteasasheet]

@HOMEnHIGH you been working in a hore house mate lol

[villanysukein]

Helló Electrician Budapest Hungary

[MrIvan72]

im actualy in a highschool in mexico that teaches you how to be an electrician.

[indosurfer210]

Find a different career.

Work with your brain, not your back.

Electrical work was fun when I was 18, but at 45, I wish I would have stayed in school!

Just my 2 cents, as we yanks say :) Good on ya.

See you in Bali. Surfs up mate.

[johanathan1]

i could do all that shit 4x faster then that tradey

[bryerTuck]

Why do they call him an electrical engineer? engineer calculations are far beyond that of a trades men.

[mastergx1]

@bryerTuck Very true, im a practicing spark and this guy is an electrical installer (electrician) NOT an electrical engineer which is a different trade alltogether

[whatthedeuse]

Give me a 13amp MK plate and a 25mm galv back box any day, nice strippers.

[sparky0090]

Fuck me drunk!!

This vid has made my fucking day! and to think I was seriously considering moving to the states in search of a job (I need my head testing not that fucking socket outlet)

You yanks are as rough as fuck! I bet even the poles could beat you and all their good for is screeding floors and even then its not right.

[axlgnraxlgnr]

@sparky0090 this is in New Zealand you moron troll,don't like it, don't watch and don't comment

[sparky0090]

Oh, and by the way, please, please, please DONT comment back saying how great your electricians' and systems are OR that although im willing to give a bit of leeway in terms of the fact that you surely all can't be rough - that your electrical infrastructure is superior to ours. Oh by the way did I mention these guys are rough :)

One more thing, don't waste your time - I won't reply.

[LeeFullenkamp]

Ratty.

[SirianKings]

How do I find a company to taken me in as an apprentice?

Also, there is apprenticeship college programs, but they too ask you to find an employer first. :-( I don't know what to do.

[01ETITO]

@SirianKings

Finding an employer can often be the hardest part! Ask friends and family if they know of anyone who's looking to take on an apprentice. Look up local employers in the phonebook and ask them if they can take you on.

(If you're in New Zealand) many polytechnics offer pre-trade courses which cover-off the first year of theory in an apprenticeship. You could consider enrolling in one of these in the short-term.

[blink182chase13]

@SirianKings actually you can apply for an apprentice licesne withough and previoud knowledge or money. they send you a card that officail makes you and apprentice.then one you have enoug knowledge you can take the journeyman's test and then after that your masters.

[apostolos25]

i,v ben working for 6 years now....i started from 12years old...and people say that i,m the fastist in my class..and my dad says that i,m faster then his helpers..that yet payed 100euro a day...soo i bet i,m pretty good....eney one care to meet? or talk on youtube?...get some idears...........coment me on my profile...or send me a msg!

[paulp888]

To strip a small wire with line mans pliers is pretty crazy. You could easily make that 12Gage or what ever they are using a couple of time smaller by leaving a bad scac on that wire. Don't they have wire strippers in England or Australia or NewZealand or where ever this video is from?  : - )

[nosh86]

it is new zealand, and yes we do not use strippers on hard wiring (only soft wiring due to insulation being difficult to strip) in Australian and NZ . you can easily strip cable with linesman pliers without nicking the cable, and apprentices are made well aware of the issues involved with a damaged core and are taught to never fit off a cable they have nicked.

[julianshield1]

He could just use a cable stripper.

[BrianPhase90]

Wow... This is some of the worst work I've ever seen. Theres no reason to have cut a hole to get around that horizontal stud...

[julianshield1]

lol i know.

[munchy75]

yeh if he used his thumb on the opposing hand ad leverage makes it much easier and yes a knife or a stanley knife makes it much easier

[bddls]

WOW he cant strip a wire

[mpezic]

u should try to wire strip a 1kV cable

[mpezic]

wire striping is easier vith the knife

[cheat123]

i want to do this but dont know where to start

[shgibby61981]

Stripping wire with Linemans pliers, no electrical boxes. I think they need to adopt the NEC standards (national electrical code).

[whiteboy7890]

fucking scabs

[whistonr06]

Is it a good job?

[thisisnorway04]

yep. in norway you get about 32 dollars per hour working as an electrician :)

[croakerchoker504]

crazy ass European wiring 220volts at normal outlets.. why??

[Audi2000t]

its 230v in australia and NZ i think.

[adamrawksyourworld]

It's NZ.

I love the goggles when drilling a hole in the plaster wall... And send the Apprentice to do a couple hundred plugbases to learn howto strip some 2.5TPS :D

[ColdFusionGames]

I'm a carpenter, but I still work with dry wall. Nothing is worse then getting that dust in your eyes. Goggles always, haha!

[mwethereld]

its Oz or NZ not england mate,,, no wall boxes are needed on residential sites

[Zealix]

lol shawn its australia you retard

[shawnster714]

sticking recpts in the wall with no box? wearing shorts and no hard hats on a commercial job site? Damn!! I wanna work in England!!!
