My husband is actually getting ready to apply to the apprenticeship program. From what we know, the pay is $16.97 per hour during the apprenticeship, then 19 or 20 after. You have to get an 8 in math, 10 in electrical, and 10 in something else to pass.
As far as housing and insurance, it's a little up since Katrina. I am not going to lie to you. However, that's if you choose to live in Pascagoula. Most people live in the outskirts. Lucedale, MS is about 30 minutes away and is a nice small town community. Housing is reasonable. You can consider the Mobile, AL area also, but you need to think about the small towns outside of it too. People are friendly here and it's so slow-paced. Northrop Grunman has great benefits.
