A friend signed her lazy 21 year old son up for training to be a lineman for TVA about 6 years ago. The cost was $15,000 for 4 months of training. There was a guaranteed job starting at $65,000 for all who finished the course. Lazy boy went for two weeks, and the parents were out the money.

The apprentoce system is the best way. The course work is often offered for free or low tuition by most state licensing boards, or by a statewide powwr corporation.

No need to pay for the courses if a yougster is willing to travel out of state for his tickets.

My step grand daughter is the first female lineman in the province where I live, ( super athletic).She can out climb most of the 50 men on her line crew.
