Well, I started it all, I suppose that I better,state my case.
I started my Electrical Training rather late,as I left High School at the age of 18,and went straight into the New Zealand Fire Service as a Paid Fire-Fighter, I got the Bug, when I found myself disconnecting various circuits for the Crews at fire-calls,as no-one was willing to do this.
Reality hit home, a few years later, when I recieved 3rd Degree burns in a Fish and Chip Shop fire, when the vat of oil exploded, I was in hospital for months, but I thought, it would be good to use some of my experience,as an apprentice Electrician,
I got a hold of the local firms, and only the local Power Board, would hire me, because of my injuires.
But, they trained me up to the person that I am now,an Electrical Technician, which encompasses Electrical wiring, Faults Work,
a certain amount of Line work and Sub- Station Work.
So all in all, I won in the end, how many Electrician's have this range of work?,
and I would also agree with Elektrikguy, I love working outdoors, cannot stand being cooped up. [Linked Image]
