Jeff,
dont you find it funny that municipalities, utilities & some state contracts require one to be ISA CA...........why lobby to make the cert a requirement for certain entities & not lobby on a broader spectrum?
you dont work residential but many here do, I worked the residential/commercial market which catered to a large group, I thought being diversified would expand my biz.........silly me! I dont expect anyone nor would I want anyone to promote my biz, but the main part of all our complaints is about a Certification that is widely non recognized, a Certification that no longer sets us apart because anyone with a rudimentary level of reading & spelling can take the test and pass EASILY, the actual skills & ID modules have been eliminated to a point where a ####ing 9 year old is a CA
How screwed up Jeff...........do you like knowing that you are on the same academic level as a 9 year old or better yet lets be politically correct and let those on the short bus take & pass the exam, wouldnt wanna leave anyone out...........hell how about Mr. smith at 76? his prostrates gone, he cant walk but hey he`s a CA for the local town shade tree commision, never mind that catarack dam near blinding him!!!
Its a dam joke & becoming an embarrassment to those in the trade who can do the job & have the knowledge.......where I work right now they`re making all the older linemen perform an aerial rescue & if they cant do it.......? possible decertification!!!! lets make the CA similar!!!!!!!!!!!
LXT............
