So I've gotten the idea to see if I can become an electrician. I have zero formal education in this industry, but know that I'm plenty smart enough to learn it.

So....
1) Where is a good place to get some formal education?
2) I need a job in the mean time of course. Is there anyway I can do an apprenticeship or something before I go through a trade school or something?
3) I've already got a Bachelors in Economics. If I find some where to take classes, am I going to be forced to waste my money on a bunch of core classes that I don't need?
4) I'm doing some research about this right now, but thought I'd ask here at the same time. Please don't think I'm expecting to be spoon fed and am not looking for myself at the same time.
