Hey Ricker, I have been an electrician for 22 yrs, 14yrs in business for myself. My wife and I started this adventure while I was unemployed, just moved into a new fixeruper house, 1st son was 2yrs old and she being 8 mos along with #2. We now have 1 full time employee and a brother in law who is in law enforcement and works part time. The last couple of years have been a new experiance as we hired our 1st full time guy. Still learning as we speak. This is part of why I enjoy this trade. It never stops growing. I say go for it . Do good work , work for good people and don't work for contractors. Do service and work direct for customers. I have customers who call after years of not hereing from them, they remembered that I treated them fair and did my best and right. Beleive in yourself and do it. I get a rush when I get bid jobs and my price is the highest:)
PS Join some service clubs and get involved in the community, thats where its at.
