It's been a looooong five years, but tonight I attended my very last class for my Plumbing apprenticeship and have my graduation dinner scheduled for a week from Friday. Sucks there is absolutely NO work right now, but one can dream right? I came up just a tad short on the required 8500 working hours like most in my class meaning i'll have to work at my fifth year rate for two and a half months when I get back to work, but BOO HOO, I would work for a whole lot less just to get back to it!

I'm just glad this is finally put to rest. I allready recieved my IL plumbing license a couple months ago, now the union portion is done also.

I'm just thankful that in IL ALL plumbing work requires a license, we are the only trade that that is a requirement for. This atleast detours most from even trying to get into the program and protects my work.
