Sometimes it seems that theory and the NEC are the easy parts.

Thick skin and as they say in the fight game"A good beard" help.

I suspect that sparkys constantly working in areas of no AHJ or inspections,and must constantly justify their methods and installations to uninformed,combative,haggling customers,are subject to more stress than the average sparky.

Focusing on the end result of a good safe ,code compliant installation that will outlive me helps more than anything.

I've found that graying hair and throwing a few big words around(obvious signs of wisdom) are priceless. [Linked Image]
