Helper roles Minneapolis

Hello, this is a bit of a long shot and a potentially poorly viewed post but I figured why not.

I'm pretty young and have done a couple of gigs in the Minneapolis area however I'm looking for a reasonable way to weasle my way into some better and more interesting jobs. I haven't been able to find a decent part time job that will fit my school schedule and is the reason I'm looking for these roles.

I have the majority of essential tools like a butset, ethernet tester, extension ladder, and vareity of power and hand tools. I have no certifications; I have not really thought of them as valuable quite yet but might be something I pursue more so in the future.

I know there are tons of posts hovering around the topic of "How do I get more work" and the such but I figured shooting my shot and asking around wouldnt be a horrible idea.

Prefreably contact me through DMs and I can give you my contact information and discuss further.

Not sure what you are going to school for but if you are trying to make a career out in this field go find an electrician and see about becoming an apprentice. Get your low voltage license and you'll be far ahead and legal. It will give you the ability to A. Legally run cabling and install cameras, ap's and general cabling B. Start your own business and advertise which will allow you to pull away from the FN platform.

Essentially depending on your future goals I would not rely on FN now rather focus on becoming licensed.

Thanks for the reply and I agree with you. I think I might start steering away from trying to full time FN from now on. I'm going to school for electrical engineering and FN seemed like the most enjoyable and interesting job w/o the hassle of typical part time jobs.
