Residential is a hard part of the field to sit back and explain things. It's a very competitive market. You have to rush to make any money on it. Industrial can be fast pace too but not like residential where it's wire and run to the next one. I learned most of my residential the hard way by just following, reading, and asking people not necessarily at work. It;s nice to have someone guide you through into a career but it's not anyone elses responsibilty but yourself to improve and learn.
