While we are on this subject, what is the relationship between firefighter/rescue workers and electricians?

Well, they are both called Sparky in parts of the country. [Linked Image]

Electrical contractor is my full time thing, and I took a position as an electrical inspector for two days a week to see the other side of the fence. May be a thing to do if & when I "retire".
Also, have a part time (evenings) instructors position at the County Vocational School, Adult ED, or Continuing Ed teaching various electrical trades courses.

My free time, I like to spend on my boat, weather permitting. The "season here in NJ is April to mid October, so ya got to take it when you can.

I fixed my own A/C compressor last night. Does that count? Well, it was an electric wire that corroded off, so I guess not.

All my income comes my my electric business. I like to work my investments in the stock market, but that's not a job, its an adventure!

I used to work days in maintainence at a wire making plant,and nights and weekends doing residential.

Now,electrical,plumbing,or digging with a small trackhoe 8 or 10 hrs. a day,5 or 6 days a week is all I can stand.

Don't "need" as much as I used to.
