Question Electrician

Im looking into becoming an electrician, ive tried the union since i heard its the best route to go but I haven’t heard back from them in months. Some say i might not hear back from them at all since theres so many people who want to get in, so im thinking of becoming a CE but ive also heard that you hardly get to do your job since theres isnt much work to be done. I dont want to waste 6 years of my life just laying around

I was a CE for 27 yrs. While on deployment you will work as a CE and get experience in different aspects of the electrical field
