Have been in the trade a little shy of 20 years. I tried a few things before going to in the "family trade". I figured that it had to have something going for it since 4 generations before me led a pretty good life as electricians. I am very glad that I did. If you like it stick with it! If someone really wants to work they can find work as an electrician if they are properly trained. Make sure you become well rounded and remember that the more you think you know the less you realize you really do know. (my personal opinion) There is always something to learn. Stick with the school I worked the first 4 years in the trade without schooling and thought I was a journeyman. When I went I finally realized how little I really knew.
