Hmm...I live up here in the NW, I love the transmission work and the travelling, BPA sounds like a pretty good gig. Anyone here go through their Lineman Apprentice program? Or take that nice 15k sign-on bonus that they are offering and working with them as a J-Man? Just kinda curious what the working conditions are like with the federal government/IBEW joint effort :D Kinda sounds like the best of both worlds for bennies, retirement etc. Plus, if they dictate where I live after I finish their apprenticeship, maybe I can get away from my old lady, she will never move, so its the perfect crime ;) I was checking out their website, saw the practice exam, and was just looking for any tips or tricks that any of ya'll might know for studying for it, any if anyone knows if they will be hiring in the next year! Thanks ya'll be safe
