That happens at colo that have gov shit in them…. Or when they are real nee they “hire” for the first 12mo to meet the “local employee hire requirement”
Just saw Texas is contemplating giving journeyman electrical for class time. 1000 hrs for some course to speed ramp more guys.
Fools errand because you can’t lear what’s really needed without hands on if you ask me.
I have likely 4000-5000 hours over the last 30 years, but the guys I worked for/with all are gone, and that’s before the electronic reporting.
I feel confident I could knock it out in most cases on experience alone. But would still want a journeyman to be with me in a data center. Houses and standard commercial, not an issue, but dc’s, gov projects, and big power I don’t need it.
Power is "fun". I have more experience than I should and won't go into it because it would dox me.
For my personal projects I get a little careless sometimes. Not a danger just "well, I am going to do it live". Getting zapped is not exactly healthy but it sure wakes you up.
If 240 or less, do it live. If bit 2 times shut if off. Big power, call a buddy. I’m so fucking lazy I’ll short the circuit at the plug/switch if it bites me 2x. Then pop the breaker. “That could start a fire”
Sure bro, if the breaker can’t handle a direct short then we got more problems. Yeah it could cause a good spark bead at the plug.
But yeah that’s me too.
