I enjoy working as an electrician. There are numerous job opportunities available, and you can make a good amount of money depending on your skills and experience. Since electricians are always in demand, you can easily find work. The variety of work available also means that you can consistently learn new skills. With the right experience and training, you could start your own business.
Some of the downsides of being an electrician is that the work can be physically demanding as well as risky. Often, jobs can involve lifting heavy cable and equipment, climbing tall ladders, working in tight spaces or working very high above the ground. Along with this, there is the inherent risk of receiving an electrical shock, which could cause a serious injury or fatality. However, don’t let this discourage you from looking into this as a future career path. These risks are taken seriously in our profession, and you will receive the proper training and oversight to help you stay safe.

I really loved being an electrician. I got out of the building side of it because of health conditions, but I am basically still working with electronics in telecommunications. The thing about the electrical field is there are so many different aspects to it. You can be an installer, a repairer/troubleshooter, and Lineman(high voltage), inside wireman(medium voltage) or a low voltage electrician. There are so many fields, and they are all in demand, because everyone uses electricity in some form. The hardest part is finding what you love to do and then finding a job that lets you do it. I really think that being an electrician was the best trade and I have had benefits from it everywhere I have worked since. I love turning on the lights and seeing a electrical plan come together with working lights, appliances, robotic systems, etc. It is so fun to power something up, like fire alarm systems, with all the sensors and alarms. There is no better place to start!!! Just never stop learning. I am now an engineer in telecommunications, and I love it as well. Go for it!!!
