I'd finish my apprenticeship. You'll have it for the rest of your life. Being a lineman may require some travel so I wouldn't worry about sometime having to go to Fort Mac. If you have a family some day and have to make the mortgage payment, you'll go wherever you have to. Also as a lineman you'll have to do some climbing in all weather. Not always so pleasant. Getting a union job is also good as the wages and benefits are usually better. A union member should have a good medical ,dental, etc. and retirement plan and coverage. The big bucks are tempting now but have patience, get your ticket and than look for a secure job that isn't at the whims of the economy.
