I started out working for my fathers residential company Quogue Electric when I was about 11 or 12.
This started in the early 70s maybe even 69 ish. He ended up getting into it because his young boss had a stroke at 30 something and his bosses wife couldnt run the buisness.
She sold the whole thing to him cheap so he gave it a whirl and did pretty good.
Worked summers and on and off until 1984 working full time and then some for the last 25 years.

How long you been in the trade?

7 yrs electrician-and subsequently...,i.e. imediately there after 7yrs and counting as an electrical inspector--here on L.I.after your 7yrs working with a lic.'d elec you may sit for the test to get your own elec. lic or pursue other venues-That 7yrs also allows you to sit for your elec inspector certification exams should you so desire--and I so desired at the time.
