When I went to the railroad for a job in 1973 (Fatherinlaw and Motherinlaw both worked there) The guy that was doing the hiring asked me what I wanted to do. He caught me off gaurd. I told him I would do any job offered to me. "you don't know what you want to be" he asked. Again I replied the same.
So he started reading from a list of apprenticeship programs available. When he got to "electrical apprentice", I stopped him and said that was the one. The next day I took a physical. And that is where my career started. Got laid off in 1979, with the apprenticeship completed.
I then went to construction, industrial, and business side. It's been a good ride.
So my answer is two days.....LOL
