This books covers the journey I took to become a female apprentice electrician in New York almost 20 years ago. My 5 1/2 yr apprenticeship was faced with many personal struggles and some job site issues. I developed some enemies and some great friends while learning my trade! I will show you some characters I work with who belong in a padded cell! These people I work with belong to the last wild Wild West. They lack filters on their mouths or emotions in my heart. You should gain some knew insight in the construction industry and many laughs along the way!
