I just took the test today and received an 86%. How well is this score to be called soon for the position? What’s the passing rate for these exams? And does anyone know if I can negotiate a higher starting rate? I’m an operator for high pressure steam plant in NJ and don’t know if it’s even worth me leaving for the starting rate in NYC.

I’m 25m and I have been struggling with picking a career because I slacked off for most of Covid and never really had a support system for going back to school and getting a traditional education. I’m currently a security guard at a power plant and the engineer there told me he can help me get in his union and do an apprenticeship. Looking into it, it definitely seems like a great choice, but would you say it’s a good career even if I don’t necessarily have a passion for boilers, hvac, or anything like that really? I can be dedicated and willing to learn, but if I have no passion for anything will I end up falling flat on my face and regretting the choice? Any feedback is appreciated!
