"I was first taught about plumbing from my father who was also a plumber. He had me working with him on small jobs ever since I was a kid. Of course, I also learned a great deal from the supervisor I worked under during my apprenticeship. So between my dad and my supervisor, I would say I have been taught a great deal."
