Here's a stud finder that actually works.

Franklin Sensors ProSensor 710 Precision Stud Finder

Magnet does the same

Magnet does the same

Yeah, so does usually measuring every 16" from the corner, but lots of times it's just quicker to swipe the finder across the wall assuming you have a good one. I hate chasing screws around with a little ass magnet

Yeah, I always roast my boss every time he brings up the magnet trick too. He's mormon, and I always tell him to keep his amish ways away from me

Look on usajobs.gov. do you have experience? If you legit I can plug you in resources, but in the UK now I believe most of those jobs have to be filled by locals unless you move there on your own and get your uk certification. The UK is definitely hiring cause when I left they were begging for electricians. They pay shyt tho. Like 30k pounds a year.

I'm about to enroll in the skilled trades program through GM. I'm getting off that damn line. It can be fun and there's fukkery galore on the line, but that shyt kicks your ass after a while. Those dudes in trades are laid back and chill because they ain't gotta deal with stupid ass supervisors. I'd be making 15 more an hour and depending on the shift and OT that's some damn good bread. I'm gonna put in the extra effort to Ace my classes because on top of class performance me being a minority gets me to the top of the list
