That's about the same as what I have heard from a couple of my friends that are EC's. They both agree that in the first year up to but not limited to the first four years an average work week includes about 65 - 80 hrs and these do not include time spent at home on the phone with GC's, EE's, looking up things on the internet, etc...
Oh well, I am still all for it with a twenty year goal of retiring or having someone take it over. Something that struck me in a previous post and hit home pretty well was something to the effect of...
"Electrical work is something that I would do for free or as a hobby, to actually make a decent living doing this and be able to pay for my children to go to college with the revenue from it is just an invaluable bonus to me" Again, thanks for the comments,
