I chose this Trade because of the benefits and I love to travel. Zack landmark who works for michels power inc talks to me abt linemen school and the trade and how good it is for young people looking to start a Good career. I am hard working and very determined, I also I want to retire early and the benefits you get for linemen work is crazy good! I love the adrenaline rush. I also love climbing things and Being active. I want to give my mom back what she gave me and this job will help me do that in the future. I love learning new things and this trade really caught my eye. I want to get away from the small town I’m from and go out and explore all the cool things in life. I want to give my adult self the type of life I didn’t get to live as a kid and this trade gives you every opportunity too! I look up to some linemen in my community and find all the stuff very interesting, I want to experience the luxury life. The benefits are super good, the retirement is super good and I want to retire fairly early.I will further my education at Northwest Linemen collage in August of 2026, while I’m their I’ll be working for my CDL. As I come from a low income household I am applying for all the grants and scholarships I can! I don’t want student debt I want to graduate trade school and move on with life I find this trade very interesting and very demanding.This trade will benefit me in my ways and I also chose this because my grandpa was a linemen before he passed away and I looked up to him and want to follow after him. People have always doubted me and I want to prove them wrong and chase my dreams. I like the math you have to do in this trade I always found it fun and interesting. I like challenges and overcoming obstacles and being pushed to my limits and this trade does that. I want to show my talents and my skills that I have in this trade and provide for my community and give back to it. This trade doesn’t only get you a good job but you meet tons of new people and I think that’s probably one of the coolest parts.
