I went through the whole nine yards. Two years of fulltime school, four year union apprenticeship program, and now 25 years in the trade. But I can honestly say that it wasn't until Minnesota started requiring continuing education a few years back, on top of my employer hiring an excellent instructor (the best in the industry in my opinion), that I became a true student of the NEC.
Reading anything I can get my hands on, including this website and others, as well as moderating another website gives me a good reason to keep my nose in the book.
