First generation electrician, but I was mentored by a man that was father-like and ended up taking over much of his clientelle.

Plus I'm in the young side of things (36)... Since ECM said that the average EC was (about) 50 years old...

I've hit the gold mine in getting an apprentice (I think/hope). He's a hard working young man, looking for a better career option than lawn care, already studying the 99 NEC... So, there are some young'uns interested.

I can see the point that it seems that each generation wants more and more instant gratification, but I guess that comes with the increase in technology and luxeries of society.

Personally, I've learned more since I aquired my Masters than I have in all the years before...
