Make it easier to get into? I've wanted to for years but when I looked into studying for the test (which can only be taken in another city in my state and only a few times a year), I found a like 4 hour long video and when I tried watching it it was like someone speaking a foreign language. I don't have a ton of free time to study for the test and it seems like I need to already be a master electrician to even study for the test.
So yeah, maybe don't make it so difficult and more people might want to get into it?
This exactly. My brother keeps trying to get me into it. It's hard to even take the test let alone how boring it is to study for. I want someone who's passionate about it to explain it to me. I also have hella ADHD so that's a factor for me personally lol.
Oh same here. It's a struggle to listen to a monotone voice talk about numbers and electrical terms I'm completely unfamiliar with.
At least when my brother talks about it he's excited but his ADHD is unmedicated so I still don't know much because we start talking about that but then we somehow end up replacing a window or something and have no idea how we got there... Lmao
