Rob Jacobs, Master Plumber
My Résumé
Discovering my path
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"When I first started out being a plumber's helper, it was actually only supposed to be a summer job, I didn't know where it was going to take me. October came around, I was still working.
"Finally my employer came up to me and he just asked me, 'Are you interested in registering for the apprenticeship program? You're able to be left on your own to take care of certain things.' So I gave it some thought and I figured why not.
"From the day I started plumbing it took me approximately seven years until I got my ticket."
