How long you been in the trade?

[LarryFine]

No, given that it is in my office it is still in the Company's possesion (see post 145) maybe that is beyond your comprehension or were you just posting for post count?:wink:

None of the above.



(I hope you know me well enough to not have taken me seriously on my question.)

Started working in the field as a helper in 1976. Went to trade school shortly thereafter to learn why we were doing it that way. Was paid a whopping $3.25 hr.

I started in maintenance as an electrician's helper in 1976. For around a dollar an hour.

On and off since then. Came in formally in 1996.

Started to work in the field in 1972 after attending a three year vocational program while attending high school. I wish more high schools today had vocational programs available for those wanting to become tradesmen.
My hourly wage on my first j.o.b. fresh out of votech... $1.60 p/h, but the view of San Juan and the blue Carribean waters from atop of that twenty story building was a sight for a newbie.

For the same reason people used to raise their own animals and grow their own gardens for food

Used too?:-?

Some of you guys don't venture out of the city enough.

We liked to play basketball in my backyard when I was about 12. So we could play after dark I wired up four 300W bulbs in porceilan sockets in a tin can.

I climbed into a tree set it in place and fed it with about 100 ft of 22AWG 300 ohm TV ribbon. We would plug it in only while we were playing, which probably saved the tree.

Later on I discovered we had engineered a few code violations into our light, but it served us well for at least a year.
