That's great man! I became a state CGC at 23 in Fl in 1999. My experience was carpenter from age 15- 23. I held a journeymans carpentry certification at 19 and was a high-rise Structural Superintendent for 2 year. ( So other can see how I qualified for the test). The longest test I ever took lol. Good luck to anyone going for their license. It can be a fulfilling career.

[@mineyuksel6754]

Great presentation! Thank you

[@coreyd944]

Been watching alot of your video's. Started looking up how to read blueprints just to possibly gain some general knowledge and came across one of your videos. Since ive watched 4 or so. Keep it up bud, your doing a great job, putting lots of good knowledge out there. I actually live in Putnam county but ive been working in jax since i was a small kid. My dad used to own a construction company when i was young so I've been learning from a young age much like you. Im about to start a new job tho, within a week or so as a superintendent assistant. The job was offered by a good friend that lives in Pennsylvania and plans to travel to Florida soon to start the job. Ill be starting it with him. My back ground is between stucco and masonry to electrical, low voltage and mechanical. My friend has alot of faith in me, and granted i have faith that the good Lord gave me gifts but im not too sure of my knowledge and how in depth my knowledge has to be to do this job. So not trying to be too long with this "comment" but my question to you Jesse is do you have any advice to share with me going into this field? Ive been doing electrical for right at 5 years now but im 33 and ive done construction for all the past 17 years and i honestly dont know what to think about the job. Im very excited but very intimidated aswell. Anything would be appreciated. And most importantly i didnt really elaborate as much as i wanted to but i read were someone commented in a previous video somewhere saying that you were "truly inspiring" and thats a great description bud. You really do have a great upbeat attitude and the correct knowledge and you enjoy sharing that knowledge. Thats pretty much why ive started watching your videos. Not to mention its faith based. So anyways, great job, keep up the great work.

[@blaiseallen8796]

Thanks for the video great info

[@ernieforrest7218]

This is a very good video as for the information it gives for passing the exam. The test actually has little to do with your level of experience in the construction industry, and everything to do with taking the test. Its an open book test, meaning you can look up the answers, but time is also a big consideration. No doubt those who have college degrees have an advantage in that they are more experienced in testing. I had 40 years experience in the home building business, in a state where there are no licensing requirements. When i moved to Florida, i applied for a license and was accepted for the exam. I had not prepared at all, nor did i purchase any books, and i failed the test by one point. I bought the books, prepared for another test and passed it easily. Shortly after that my son moved to Florida, he had 15 years experience in the industry, he passed the first time, because he prepared for the test by studying the books.
