Put money aside each week for new knees. They'll be fucked by the time you hit fifty.

Listen to your supervisors, especially on final checks, lock out/tag outs and safety.

Get a thick skin. Electricians are valued for ability, efficiency and performance. If you're slow, weak, or fuck up, own it, fix it, and don't make the same mistake twice. You will get yelled at and called names when you fail to live up to expectations, but also when you do well. Being called a fatherless faggot who fucks his own mother is both an insult or a term of endearment, depending on context. Get used to not being able to hit back when superiors fuck with you, and also get ready to hit back in kind when and where appropriate. If you just take insults all day and don't defend yourself from co-workers, you'll be considered both a boor and possibly, a faggot.

That being said, it's fun. I started out as a neuroscientist, and quit to work on boats. Thickened my skin quickly. I call my current chief mate, an 'that retarded fat sodomite." Everyone gets a nickname.

You'll get to like it a lot if you have any sort of sense of humor.
