Here is a little personal info about myself. I'm currently in the military and I will be getting out with 8 years of service. I have an Associates Degree in Electromechanical Control Technology, a certificate in electrical wiring, ETA certified Fiber Optics Installer, ETA certified Fiber Optics Technician and my completed Electrical Apprenticeship Certificate. I have a couple questions for the experienced civilian electrician.

1. I plan on living in Texas and I want to get my Journeyman?s License for Texas. I am stationed in Virginia is there any way I can take the test at a Virginia test site? or will I have to fly out to Texas?
2. What do you think a realistic starting salary would be for me?
3. Are there any special skills or certificate employer's are looking for?
4. Does anyone know what the top electrical companies are in Texas, mainly Dallas/Fort Worth area?
5. What is the best electrical field for A) salary B) work environment C) nature of work?
