When I got my license in North Carolina several years ago, I got a General license, which is more or less equivalent to a journeyman. With a General you could do residential contracting, but nothing over a certain dollar amount, and no com/ind, if I remember correctly. When I moved to Texas my license wouldn't transfer, and the procedure is so political, I just work in my plant job, & no outside elect. work. In small towns or rural areas, I imagine there's a lot of underground cash stuff, but in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, the city regs are RIGIDLY enforced; unless you pay out large bribes I expect. I hate GFCI's. They seem to trip out almost at random, sometimes with no current load. Plus, after tripping out a few times they won't reset. |

They really did make a ton of changes this time. I think in 05 the big thing was broadband, electric vehicles and AFCIs. One good thing is that the new code books have shaded the changes, so when you are reading, you can tell what is new.
I splurged and bought the handbook which I used to call the picture book. It actually has come in quite handy. I am glad that I bought it instead of just the text. Some of the illustrations are very helpful. Quote:

Some of these AFCIs are even worse. I have seen a lot of trouble out of them when upgrading circuits to code, like installing a new panel. They trip out because of wiring issues with the existing, old wire.

When the cash starts flowing in, you can take time out for some tax-deductable schooling to get the credentials you need to certify the electrical hook-up yourself. If all goes well, you'll get a jump start on the competition and set your reputation, before your future competitors get into the game, cutting into your action using migrant labor

Hey Joe, please advise. I'm early 20s, strongly considering trade school (plumbing or electrical). What are the pros and cons?

Just about every trade anticipates strong demand with fewer new guys coming in. Their alternative is to hire Mexicans, etc. to take the place of the old guys retiring. So, I would say go for something more technical that is less likely to be flooded with mestizos/low IQ types. Electrical can be technical, or not. New guys, and the mestizos, in electrical pull wire. That's kind of where you start and then you move up. With electrical, you can go different ways-commercial, industrial and residential. With the housing downturn, there is a glut of electricians, unless you are going to work with PV (solar) which the run of the mill guys don't know. If you live in a union area, I understand that the IBEW apprentice program is very good. Plumbing takes knowledge but not as intensive as electrical, IMO. Solar is an option here, too. Solar hot water is getting more and more use. Personally, if I were going to be a plumber, I would stick with new construction. I wouldn't want to have to do service calls on someone's clogged toilet, etc. HVAC is a very good trade to look into. Any apartment complex, etc. looking for a maintenance guy always specifies that applicants have to know HVAC and have an EPA refrigerant card. Plus, homes built now require climate control to be livable. HVAC is technical, is a necessity and has a low number of mestizos involved (in my area anyway). I would look into that. I think Axel Faaborg (on VNN here) is a HVAC tech. He could tell you more. I work in the HVAC industry, but in electrical. I see the tech stuff that these guys have to know and I even attend some of the classes. Way too much for the average nigger or mud. I started in electronics doing repair work. When I finally bought out an old tiimer, he said that a good economy was bad for repairmen. He was right. So is cheap China junk. Anyway, I got out of it, but with the recession it may come back as a viable way to earn a living. If you go that route, though, look for the viability of working in aerospace, industry, etc. The days of the town tv repair shop are pretty much over unless you are a mfg. authorized repair center.

That's very true. Not many companies hire the mestizos. The ones that do usually end up with theft problems. My company won't hire them. Not official policy, they just don't. They had one that stole jewelry from a customer. Next day, the customer laid bait in the form of a Rolex watch. They found it in the mestizo's sock.

I heard Rolex was buying back their exported watches to keep the price high through limiting stock

BTW, I stopped in a jewelry store to look at a ring for my wife before we got married. The kike running the store sat me down and went into his pitch. Finally, he says, "the diamond market is controlled. I can look out for you." I said, "yeah, it is run by the jew mob" The look on his face was priceless. Wish I had a camera with me. Wife decided to boycott the diamond market. She got a ring, just not a diamond.
