S2 E9 I "Picking a Fight"

Too many Electricians in the field discourage the study of the National Electrical Code, sometimes without knowing it. When we say things like "we don't use the NEC on job-sites," although this may be true for the most part, it sends a message to the younger tradesmen and tradeswomen that the NEC doesn't matter. I think it's time for us to pick a fight with this idea and push back on this limiting mindsetwebsite WWW.TheYoungElectrician.ComTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@theyoungelectricianpod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcIGhttps://www.instagram.com/the_youngelectrician/Youtubewww.youtube.com/@theyoungelectricianPlug Into The NEC Newsletter https://plugintothenec-newsletter-c7c296.beehiiv.com
