^^Worst recommendation yet.
I say hit up all the labor unions, electricians, elevator construction, pipe fitters, etc. All you need is a diploma/GED, driver's license, and be over 18. Some of them only hire twice a year (IUEC) but others are constantly looking out for new people. Most start with a 6 month probation period and then you're an official apprentice and start receiving benefits. Starting pay is usually $14-$20/hr starting with raises every year until you reach journeyman where it tops out at $32-$45/hr depending on which local or which labor union you work for.
