  So the juvenile lineman could still be called an electrician until it matures?

    It’s like calling an osprey a bird

  Dont call a lineman an electrician. “Electrician” = inside wireman. Linemen are a different animal.

    you have to be able to troubleshoot a home to be considered a proper electrician.
    SO are electricians considered more skilled? Genuinely curious. I feel like a lineman would be since they deal with more deadly stuff but what do i know.

      Nah, not much more deadly kinda If something sends electricity to the lines when they are supposed to be off, it gets risky which is pretty much an issue since people are stupid and will do it accindentally by connecting their generators or solar pannels where they shouldn’t

        I suppose. My knowledge of electricity ends at watching ElectroBoom and StyroPyro. Entertaining, sure. but don’t learn a whole lot. ElectroBoom teaches more but i don’t retain it.

  That’s not a lineman. That’s tower crew for cell phone towers.
