Just got it today.... A joke in the mail.
Another LATE notice of impending/past deadlines, this one from the CSLB...

For those not in the know... The often postponed Certification Program in California has bee riddled with problems from day one. One of the main problems was getting people to comply once they wrote the law over for the second or was it the forth time~ The main reason for this was noy many knew about, or much about, or when, or how. FYI, the first and only
official notice was sent out after the deadline for continuing to work in Commercial....
Which makes this one in the news letter seem funnier, at least to the people who did thier homework. For the people who didn't,
they have to go back to school, at cost if thier employers wont pick up the tab.
To continue to work as an electrician after the
deadline has passed, a person must be one of the
following:
• Certified by having taken and passed the exam;
• An apprentice in a state approved program;
• An electrician trainee; or
• Be a licensed C-10 electrical contractor.
To date, of the estimated 70,000 electricians
working in the state, more than 49,000 applicants
have been authorized to take the exam; fewer
than 32,000 have taken the exam; of those
approximately 24,000 have passed it and can
legally work for a C-10 contractor.
Take careful note of the numbers there! There are not enough schools for them all. 33 schools for 30 - 40,000 people, and the schools only take about 100+
each! Thats 3300!
(Hundred)What do the other 25 - 35,000
(THOUSANDS) of people do?~
