I'm a first generation sparky also. Started in this field in 1980, worked for a contractor, went to tech school. Put in the time, took the contractors test, passed & started my company. Continued at trade school & private instruction & took the inspectors tests (all 3 at once) got my ICS, Plan Review and HHS Inspectors Licenses.
Still contracting, crew of 5, commercial and site lighting.
BTW, I'm in New Jersey.
No, I'm not a college guy. HS and Vocational.
I guess I'm one of the "older folks" 54.
I'm satisfied with my life! I came a long way, not "rich", but comfortable!
