This is like so many things in life, you learn the lesson too late. But learning the lesson to pass on to others - its never too late for that.

Its just will they listen? Or ignore it like you did?

Training to be an electrician can be harder then actually doing the job. Its a test to see if you have what it takes.

A test to see if you can make it, if your the type of person who likes a challenge, you will be successful and become a qualified electrician, and face new challenges every day.

Your ideas get better, you get quicker at the job and eventually pass all that knowledge down to an apprentice.

Then and only then will you understand what it takes to be an electrician.

Some apprentices don't make it to the end. For a number of reasons, but if your going to start an apprentice as an electrician - finish it.

You will have a job for life however hard it is.

Just like you find out in todays podcast.
