Hello fellow electricians time to gear up for the Holidays. I have been busy teaching and working onsite as well as learning the new 2014 NEC which came out in October. Lot of additions and changes regarding some of the new technology. This is a good time to be in the trade with a lot of new opportunities arising. Make sure you are staying on the cutting edge. Yes I know that sometimes electricians are sometimes the unsung heroes but everyone needs us and so that is why staying positive is so important. We will have the new 2014 code update hopefully online by the new year. In the mean time Virginia should be going on the 2011 by spring of next year. Make sure you keep up with the new codes. Keeping up with the new codes not only helps you but it provides a level of safety for those you provide services too. Would you want a doctor working on you that was not in tune with the current technologies or changes. Well just remember there are more people terrified of electricity than those who work on it and it is up to us to provide safe installations.The more that we as license electricians require higher standards for those in the trade the more we will be in demand and thus higher wages. I hope that everyone out there has a safe and happy holiday and remember to give thanks for the blessing you have. No matter how bad you think things might be you still have the opportunity to succeed based on the choices you make.
Work safe keep alert for new opportunities and above all else remember stay  positive  in a negative world.
