For anyone seeking a promising career option with plenty of opportunity in the next few decades, becoming an electrician would be a good choice.
Electricians can enter the field without four-year degrees and can instead opt for a less expensive trade school education or an apprenticeship that allows them to earn while they hone their skills. Demand for electriciansβ services is already strong, but the field also has bright prospects given recent technology and policy shifts. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities in the field will grow significantly faster than the overall job growth rate as more of the nationβs energy infrastructure transitions to renewable sources. And like professionals in many other trades, electricians are well-compensated for their work, bringing in a median annual wage of more than $60,240 as of 2022.
