I added a movie trailer tonight and thought that the topic of the lineman trade was worth exploring or bringing some light to it. 

I located this link (below) and apparently this trade is also falling short of people going into this line of work.

Today’s line apprentices are tomorrow’s leaders in the electric utility industry. With veteran journeymen linemen nearing retirement, utilities are hiring apprentices to fill their work boots. Brandon Branch, an apprentice lineman for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E), says he already is noticing an impending gap in the workforce.

“Soon, young linemen will have a majority of foremen who have 10 or 15 years in the trade instead of the 25 to 40 years in the trade like right now,” Branch said. “We will lose some of that experience as guys retire. We are lucky as well though, as we have new tools and work methods to make work easier and safer than it was for the men who came before.”

There needs to be a trade renaissance all of the world.

Link to the movie trailer, Life on the Line, that I just added:
