I’ve done electrical for 6 years. I work in any state I want, if I’m unemployed it’s because I want the vacation. Between side work and the demand for the trade is overwhelming… once you have the groove down then you can easily work for yourself and scratch out the employer. However… the amount of knowledge needed as well as work ethic is real… I mean god damn real…. You work in every dirty, uncomfortable, as well as tight spaces. However the independence you gain from the knowledge is a life saver.
As a residential electrician apprentice. Residential work fucking sucks. Plain and simple.
What makes it suck? I’m deciding between residential vs commercial
You make 100k a year as a electrician
As an auto technician turned commercial electrician I am so tired of seeing these stupid videos with stock footage showing 50% of the workforce as women - in 14 years of working in the trades I can think of two actual women that I have worked with hands on and neither of them were any good at all. 🙄
Don't let the 15-20 an hour deter you from becoming an Electrician. I will tell you now you newbies that you can work your way up and eventually Project managers and Inspectors. These can pay day rates at and you can make 200k a year (with overtime of course). There are jobs that can pay 75 an hour and it depends where you go. You will learn this once you get into the trade and make your way up and establish a good career network. You get into the commissioning portion with a major corporation and work overseas you can easily make 300+ a year. Establish good work ethic and you will never be out of a job. Always learn on your personal time. Don't be one of those people that only allow themselves to learn what the company provides because you will always have to make self investment. This is coming from someone with 17 years in the industrial industry.
The wages here are severely out of date
Apprenticeship and trade schools are only for N. America
Full of shit
"here's what you MUST know" as described by a person who has never done any electrical work in his life
And how do you know that?
I am very interested in electrical work, I did studies in electrical courses dealing in air conditioning, electrical maintenance and installation, solar and motor control.... I am interested in an aviation electrician job. Could you help out and find the school for that.
I was a plumber for 4 months, and I didn’t enjoy it because I worked with poop. This much cleaner job is something for me, I will go as IT-electrician as German navy soldier on a ship.
Wishing you success brother
different types of electrician jobs as explained by someone who has absolutely no clue what the careers are about
every time an idiot reminds me not to "forget" to like/sub = instant dislike
On site generators, not in Australia, mostly.
Do a right hand twist action. .
Study, experience, time, effort and motivation great summary.
I learned the guy at 2:48 failed rough inspection
I honestly think this is why a lot of older TV personnel are more humble and grounded, because their careers were forged through necessity and they weren't afraid to get their hands dirty and play in the mud.
my dads an color blind electrician and he is one of the best past all his tests 1st time 100% and won multiple 1st place prizes in competitions idk what your talking about
Will 10 sq mm aluminium service wire be perfect for air conditioner connection from meter?
Worked 7 years now doing this and was never told this and found out today all my experience i have doesn't amount to nothing
?
@tripleseven8328 never got my hours logged and can't find any of the master
I’m making 2k a week as an apprentice on the pipeline there’s way more money in this than people let on.
A week? Damn that's seriously good money.
On the pipeline?
how many hours you working though?
@@jwhoosh7451He’s definitely working at least 50 hours a week
How many hrs?
Not only does this sound narrated by an AI voice, but also written as generic as possible by AI.
I don’t wanna change careers for 52k 😂 I hope they can easily pull more than that
That’s what I’m saying that’s less than 1k a week.
That’s what I’m saying lol I’m a single mother switching careers im making just a little under that without schooling I’m trying to see what makes since time and money wise.
You can lose your license doing side work lol
Bruh idk where you get your numbers from but in 8 years already earning six figures quadrupled my gfs salary and she has her masters degree. Two days of over time pay for me is equal to her 2 week paycheck lol. TRADES ARE THE FUTURE, they’re basically what use to be taught in all universities until they removed it from the curriculum and fooled the middle class into thinking the only way to get a job is with a degree. Despite the plethora of evidence that says otherwise, look at the richest most successful people, no degree dropouts. Should tell you that Uni teaches 😂 is only a measure of perseverance.
I’m a solar electrician in California. Even with the industry hurting at the moment, base salary is 120k a year. After bonus and over time I’ll clear 180k. Totally recommend this trade
When did you start learning, how long did it take for you get to where you’re at
Dope video ! What about Electricians: residential vs commercial? Which is better ?
HOME DEMOLITION & THE RUIN IT YOUR SELF CROWD. THEM HAIRY HOME OWNERS THINK THEY ARE GODS & WRECK THERE HOMES.
“Why did you pick this career” The money.. who tf wants to do it just cause ofc it’ll be a fun learning experience but if it wasn’t for the money we’d have no electricity 😂
Facts
this video is the epitome of comedy homicide. you killed all these memes with your brutally lame voice over

Just got hired to be an industrial maintenance electrician. Looking forward to getting my career started!
Congrats I don’t have no experience in maintenance how can I get started in a maintenance job?
@@BoxingIntelligence I got lucky with this job. I just graduated with an associate in electrical systems. I have no pass experience. I only have in class training and learning. At first it was hard finding a job because where I live you have to already have experience or know someone in the company. Luckily an alumni that was in the same program as me was willing to train anyone that’s either graduated or in the process of graduating and is ready to work. I gave that person a message and I got the job. Hopefully you can find someone willing to train you. Just show you’re ready to learn!
@@kanyesada3240 thanks for the advice and electrical systems is that dealing with plc programming and stuff like that? bc if it is I have to get into that program is a plus for a electrical career
@@BoxingIntelligence yeah I learned how to program plc and VFDs. I also learned how to wire up electrical motors and motor starters. Also know about stop and start circuits. Also got to get hands on training in residential electrical from school. I learned a lot these past two years.
@@kanyesada3240 Wow that program is golden!! brother your in a great spot in life bc plc programming is big bucks if you know what your doing im from Florida did you took the course in Florida by any chance?
Great video thanks for reaching 👍 😊

great content
The images that correspond to what is being said do not match. Some dates and facts are wrong.
The pic of Franklin when mentioning Edison was kinda funny
Thank you for building the future. Teaching these kids (me) on how inoirtsnt and essential these jobs are and giving them the best advice.. the real reality of being an electrician. Thank you for being a hero and i will soon become an electrician ir a plumber soon!
English is a major factor in becoming an electrician, don’t know how you’re gonna do that
@@Gremlin-Glizzy ...
This has been extremely helpful, I'm leaning towards this as a trade. Many of the trades are options for me but electrical has always been the one that draws me. Well that and house painting but my dad was my in for that industry and he's not with us anymore.
You need to have a strong knowledge of maths, simple as that and if you don't then you are not going to be an electrician.
If you aren't great at maths then you wont become an electrician

as a current 2nd year apprentice i'm just gonna say so far the video has some info wrong for the US. my requirements in the NE part of the US are as follows. 160 hrs of schooling per year for 4 years, 8000 hours of in the field experience over those 4 years, and multiple trainings on many aspects of electrical theory/safety. I make 22.00/hr as a 2nd year apprentice who came in with 2 years in residential/solar.
Wow that’s crazy do you feel like it’s worth it or will be? I’m a single mother looking to switch careers.
it will be 100% worth it but I won't kid you about it being very tough work if you go industrial. residential I prefer but industrial is all I have on offer in my area for licensing. I recommend it but if you go industrial expect to travel ALOT. You make good money compared to commercial or resi but its up to you if it's what you truely want as a career.@@myb4200
@@myb4200 it definitely is worth it you should get into a small electrical company because bigger comapanies you usually need atleast 1 year of electrical work before joining their apprenticeship but theres always that small company that is willing to teach from scratch. consider it
@@myb4200 also just to mention on my first day the lead man made go under the house to drill holes from under the house so we could feed wires up into the breaker box its kinda frustrating at times, but you just gotta get with the program.
@@myb4200it's definitely worth it.. Not many other avenues of diversity and and almost $40 per hour after 4years.and unlimited amounts of works, With some jobs paying $100 per dat just to show up on top of per diem,and regular good pay. It's hard to even go to school and come out in 4yrs able to make 6figures any year you want to. Its alot going on in the south,so im just speaking for the south
when i started as a apprentice, i was working for a electric contractor. they went broke, so i continued my apprentiship as a maintenance electrician. i then worked in contracting after i was 21, but i went back into maintenance in 1977. i remained doing that until i retired in 2015 at age 65. i would say for me , being a maintenance i was doing installs, as well as repair work. great time for me.
What kinda companies did you do maintenance for?
The reason I'm watching this video is I helped a guy with the wiring of his shop, and I somewhat enjoyed wiring up all the electrical outlets. What I didn't like though was not having a map of the circuits and constantly trying to figure out where each wire went and what circuit it was on. I get confused with really complex problems so the problem-solving part of this job might be difficult for me. Does anyone with experience have any thoughts on how you can know if you want to be an an electrician?
Don't go into service work if you don't like troubleshooting. Focus on new construction or industrial.
Da bears
Play at all costs!!
