things happen on the job

The demand for electricians in the United States is experiencing significant growth, and demand equals increasing wages. Since I started as an apprentice at $6.50/hour, wages have increased 254%. Two hundred fifty-four percent!! WOW.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 9% increase in electrician employment over the next decade, translating to over 80,000 new jobs.

A recent study indicates that approximately 50% of Gen Z workers are considering blue-collar professions, including electrical work, due to diminishing confidence in the value of traditional college degrees.nypost.com

Although I am not Gen Z, I have been there…..I got myself a 4-year college degree and while I enjoyed the college experience, I found that I was not satisfied with that career path. Enter my father, who worked with a guy that was brother to a guy that owned a small electrical company. I decided to go blue collar and ended up loving electrician work. I made a 21-year career out of it that propelled me to overseeing maintenance at a hospital.

In many cases, entering the electrical field requires very little cash. You need tools and clothing of course but most non-union companies will pay for or subsidize courses and union companies have internal training courses. But apprenticeship, on-the-job training, is the primary means of education for an electrician. This means that you GET PAID to learn.
