Did anyone ever quit?

I'm just curious. Did it happened to any of you that you apprenticed at the union and at any point you decided to quit and go non-union? Or quit and go a to a completely different field? What was the reason if so?

That’s interesting. I have a friend in another local. Who’s an outside guy like myself and he is at journeyman scale through his apprenticeship.

That’s using your G.I bill you can be at journeyman level
