And don't forget that most business meetings are completed at the TITTY BAR. So before you're a supervisor, have a platnum credit card & the divorce settlement, complete with child support arrangements, signed.

My only big concern is that my body doesn't know what it's in for. Just how hard is the lineman occupation on the body. I'm in my early 20's and can already feel the effects of tugging a 28' ladder around all day. I just don't want to feel 60 when I'm 30. What kind of a toll does it take on the body. Also, about how long does it take before one can move up to a supervisory position generally? Thanks alot for the feedback to any who reply.
