James’s Answer

Make it your passion, and not just a job. Above all else your safety is more important than anything else.Also, don't trust anyone else, when it comes to Power being shut off. Always use a meter l, to check yourself. You will grow to absorb every, and every aspect of becoming an Electrician, if you stay focused, and committed to applying your best. Ask questions, and never walk away from the task at hand, until you know 100% everything is correct.
Some basic job duties would be understanding your task, gathering correct parts and/or material, and tools to complete task. Tasks can be installing boxes, running EMT, or schedule 40 PVC underground, to Schedule 80 exposed, or installing panels. You might be replacing bad devices such as GFCIs, receptacles, light switches, ceiling fans, or heavy machinery, or even installing Generators. There's so many tasks, you'll get a chance to apply yourself to.Any field would be exceptional as this is my passion. Automation, and controls is taking over, so learn as much as you can, and find what you love. Theres a plethora of possibilities. Hopefully you push beyond an become very successful in this trade.
Thank you comment icon You rock! This advice is very helpful. Marquis
