"My name's Walt Cannon. I've been an electrician thirty-two years. I'm the owner-operator of Cannon Electric. The question has been asked, how did I get my start as an electrician? Basically, when I was sixteen years old, my Mom got me a job as an electrician through the union, which she worked as a bookkeeper for. I was an apprentice on the Eastern seaboard working on deck jobs and commercial jobs. It was a pretty easy process on the East coast as there were no real requirements as far as having to go through any kind of pre-certification or screening or testing. You basically got a card from the county and then they let you go to work. And you just went and applied in person and were hired on the spot."
