I went for a 50-minute walk today. It was -15. In other words, it's cold outside. I'm typing this blog post snuggled up with my electric blanket. Thank you Benjamin Franklin for discovering electricity.
More and more people are looking to transition to careers in STEM -- science, technology, engineering and math. Popular STEM careers include: civil engineer, computer scientist, geologist, landscape architect. But what about the skilled trades? Electrical, HVAC, and plumbing are all STEM fields.
Electricians, in particular, are at the forefront of the "green energy movement". A recent article by Pontecorvo (2022) talks about how electricians are updating electrical panels to support EV chargers and solar panels. Higher education institutions are working with electrical contractors to lower their energy footprint and associated utility costs. That's wicked cool!
Hi Melissa, it's always nice to see a shout out to the trades.(Especially electricians) You should check out George Brown College's latest building, Limberlost Place. It is currently under construction and a great example of green construction.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best.
Your local sparky. ;-)
Oh my gosh! I’m so glad to hear from you! Happy New Year. :) How are you?
ReplyDeleteWhen I didn’t hear from you again, I decided to write you a letter and drop it off (in-person). I looked up your surname, found a location, and delivered the letter… took a leap of faith. A gentleman came to the door and I asked if they knew you… I hope I dropped the letter off to the right house!
If you never received the letter, contact me at consent.or.dissent@gmail.com
You’re an electrician? Wow. That’s so cool. I always knew you were smart and talented. Never any doubt about that! I will definitely look into “Limberlost Place”. Maybe when you contact me, you can tell me more about it.
Thanks for making my day! Hope to hear from you soon . ;) [Flirtatious wink]

ReplyDeleteOk, I know you're an electrician. But you don't know what I do. This Web page will help fill in some gaps. Scroll to find my name.
