What Is Your Position?

[360Youth]

I thought of this thread the other night, probably not the first of its kind. I am curious the breakdown of those posting here. There are some good posts here sometimes on the value of good employees and/or good companies to work for. I have learned, just by having a license, that having a license makes you no better than of an electrician, it just opens more opportunities. And some of my favorite posts here are those rejoicing in passing their tests. I hope to see a large portion of this poll to be non-licensed field workers, because that means that there are still those out there going the extra effort to learn. Not everbody is meant to or will be able to achieve "license holder" or "company owner" but most of the time it is the dedicated workers that keep good companies going.

Edit to add: Oh yeah, I am not the owner but I hold the company license.

Hey man I see you are getting a lot of participants..

I'm disappointed. I used to be owner/partner & license holder but let my license go, folded my business, and retired from an electric utility. I guess I just can't vote. :grin: :smile:

I think I allowed for multiple votes, put down one of each, sounds like you have been there done that. :smile:

[Greg Swartz]

I take out the garbage and forget to bid things quite often...

 

[jayrad1122]

I've moved from unlicensed field worker to owner in the past week!

I might have been exaggerating a bit when I posted earlier. I think my job is mostly to repeat, "I'll get with you later on that", as many times as possible in a day.

[hardworkingstiff]

Too bad we didn't have 'engineer' or 'code enforcement' or 'xxx'.

 

[SmithBuilt]

I have to admit I enjoy being the head janitor most of the time, but there are times when I would love to come to work and just be an electrician.

The bad thing about being a one man shop is you have no one to blame for mistakes.

 

[brian john]

My actual position is, solve all problems others can't, handle all emergency calls, dispatch men or take call if manpower is not available, estimator, handle all reports, empty trash cans and about 200 other odd jobs.

Mabey more chiefs care about the work? I recently saw one of my coworkers join here. I was happy. Friz was happy.

One of my bosses thinks this forum is a waste of time, a joke. Oh well.

....I do see him on the fishing forums though. Fish or cut bait I guess. :smile:

Head . . . toilet . . .

Isn't that redundant?

I would always come here first before I asked my boss a NEC question.

I don't bother using the NEC so I don't ask NEC questions.
