ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area How did you learn the trade ?

I started at the age of 7 putting switches and outlets in new resi work that my grandfather's contracting company (union electrical) would do on saturdays. At 16 I became a summer helper and at 19 I became an apprentice thru the local working for my grandfathers company. 43 years later with a city masters license, a state security and fire alarm license and a journrymans card I'm still at it.
