Plumbing & Related Careers
Glen reminded me this morning that Plumbing is not your only option in terms of career choices after you complete this Year 1 program. There are related careers that you might want to do instead of or in addition to plumbing. Some of them are: Pipefitting, Steamfitting, Sprinklerfitting, Gasfitting, or even work in the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration field.
If you have questions about any of these trades, Glen has extensive knowledge and experience. Make sure you take advantage of his expertise while he is here. Ask lots of questions and take lots of notes. Learn all you can.
Another resource that I have pointed out to you before is the Career Cruising website.
Career Cruising - Click on this link - the username and password is on the whiteboard in the classroom.
Career Cruising will give you specific information on each career - a job description, working conditions, earnings, educational path, sample career path, related careers, and additional links to websites related to that career. There are also interviews with real people who are in that career - you can read or listen to them describe their work.
If you have any questions about using the Career Cruising site, let me know and I will assist you.

More math. Solving for other angles. This unit draws on your trig skills. Most of the time we work with only a few fixed angles depending on the fittings we use-- 22-1/2, 45, 60 and 90 degree elbows. Occasionally, we need to be able to use trig to solve for other angles.
Sadly our T- Drill is broken but this is how it should work.
And this is the sort of thing you might make.
