Harry - give it up - please, you are making an ass of yourself.


The last time I checked, the journeyman steamfitter apprenticeship
program required the completion of 8000 hours of study and supervised work.

Do you know where Harry went to college? Hell, it probably takes the Navy
about 16 weeks to train one.


I suspect neither of you know what a steamfitter does. He doesn't
replace sewage traps.

If I had a youngster today, I'd advise them to enter a union
apprenticeship program for either plumbing or electrical. No matter where
these society goes, it is going to want indoor plumbing and electricity.

There's a chance the nuke plant near us might be expanded. If so, it will
mean several years of very high paying work for union plumbers and
electricians, among others. We're talking about $100,000+ a year,
family-supporting jobs for hardworking men and women who have the skills
to do the necessary critical work.


Harold, do you really mean to say that you wouldn't advise your child to
carry on the Yale tradition? At Yale, he could possibly be a classmate of a
future president, just like you!

The local union plumbers wanted several thousand to replace the 'broken'
water main in front of my house. They diagnosed this because the sump pump
* had stopped working due, in their words, to 'too much work*'.

Oh my...I guess the c*ap flies heavy at your place...


Don, do you know what a sump is?

BTW, how's the mom doing? A good friend of mine was just diagnosed with
lung cancer. Damn shame. He's 75.

Hope all is well.

I know what a steam/pipe fitter does.

It's a five year apprentice ship program - just like a freakin'
plumber.

The only difference is steam/high pressure welding.
