Pavulon, Don't know how old this guy is but if he's in good shape, is not afraid of heights, and pretty good in math you might want him to check out various Line Schools. In these schools we provide the basic training and fundamental electrical theory so that the person can enter a Power Lineman Apprenticeship (4-5 years). There are fewer than 400,000 lineman in the U.S. and most of us (me, 21 months) will retire in the next 5-10 years. It has been listed in the news as one of the more recession proof jobs. Layoff's still happen, but are generally shorter in term and another job is always available. North West Line College in Idaho and California, Rocky Mountain Line School in Colorado Springs, Cody, Wyoming, Alliance, Ne., Mesa State in Grand Junction, Co., Try a google search under Line schools or colleges. It is dangerous but pays pretty darn good. $60-250,000/ yr with the overtime. You learn to build, maintain, and trouble shoot the electrical system in your city, town, or in the country. R.E.A.'s, Municipals, Investor Owned companies as well as contractors will be looking for apprentices in the future. You learn how to work on energized lines carrying 120/240v up to and beyond 500KV. Check out Powerlineman.com to see what life is like.

Sorry, just caught his age. Certainly not to old.
