I hate just being the one getting tools and bending pipe while the electrician does all the complex work.
I've known apprentices whose only job was to carry around ladders, get coffee and sweep the site clean every afternoon... once had the pleasure of working with a 3rd year apprentice who wasn't able to set a switch box in a wall on 5 tries. The only thing he cared about was getting a used BMW even though he didn't even have a license back then, let alone the money to pay for taxes and mandatory insurance (accounts to around $4000/year or even more for a big car).
So long story short, I like guys who want to learn something and be good! They are rare, at least here. After several years of working in the electrical field I came to the sad conclusion many people seem to think being able to tell apart black, blue and yellow/green wires is enough knowledge for being a sparky...
