I recently passed my WV Journeyman's test with a 94. I expect to get my license when the 2nd semester ends at the Marion County Tech Center where I am taking the 1st and 2nd year Electrical Technology courses.
I have a BS in Computer Science from West Virginia University and have embarked on being an electrician after a thirty year career as a systems software engineer and operating system architect.
Other than the courses at the Tech Center, I've had no formal training in electricity. My father was an engineer at Monongahela Power Company (now doing business as Allegheny Power) from shortly after WW II to his retirement. He taught me a great deal.
Update: I just won the WV SkillsAmerica Motor Control contest in the post secondary division. This means my instructor Tim Gump and I will be going to the nationals. I'm very happy about pleasing him.

Quote: "sierra_electrician: 25 years electrician 21 years Journeyman 8 years Elec Contractor 1997-2005 (Currently Inactive) 25 Years Commercial/Industrial Wireman" I'm assuming these were running concurrently. Either that, or I'm not the oldest old coot on this forum anymore! Associate Degree in Electrical Power Technology 32 years of distribution and transmission work in Technical Services (POCO ) including metering, relaying, transformer and breaker maintenance, sectionalizing and several things that nobody needs anymore (like how to use a slide rule). Everything from 120 volts up to 345 Kv. Jack of all trades, master of none, and love what I do for a living.
