Re: Electrical apprenticeship
Congratulations Brendan. In the 60' and 70's I was a lineman for the utility company. In those days apprenticeship was served in OJT with journeymen and an occasional class given by an engineer. Back then it was climbing poles because there were very few bucket trucks.
I'm sure it is a lot more technical now, but I learned a lot about inside wiring along the way. |

Re: Electrical apprenticeship
That gal with the beautiful gams is none other than Ginger Rogers, Fred Astair's dance partner in many movies. She said that the difference in men and women dancers is that women have to do it in high heels, and BACKWARD. LOL
I only know there are two kinds of electricity; the kind that will hurt you and the kind that will make you hurt yourself. |

Re: Electrical apprenticeship
You will never be out of work.
Almost everything requires electricity and someone has to wire it up. |

Re: Electrical apprenticeship
That's great, now maybe I've finally got someone who can figure out the jumble of spaghetti that I have under my dashboard.

Re: Electrical apprenticeship
Nice Brendan, now you can spend the next 20 years absorbing NFPA 70. That's a monster code. If you got the time get your gas, oil and ref. license's and one call can do it all!

Congradulation. Going to trade school is a long & drawn out process, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Bill |
