The program is disorganized, but I'm a pragmatist.

I'm all for anything that makes a member of my crew a better electrician and helps to improve his life. I've had several go on to start their own businesses and they did so with both my encouragement and my blessing. I'm paying 1/2 for the ET classes, and I believe it's going to be money well spent.

There are two advantages to helping my crew get ahead like this. The first is that with additional training each man will do better work in the name of my company. The second is that if I were to become ill or find myself in a jam, I could have 5 crews taking care of my workload tomorrow, at cost, with little more required than a phone call.

Life is good.
