Hello,
I was wondering if someone had any advice on the best way to get into the electrician trade for someone in my position. I was recently laid off work (damn economy!) as a programmer. Before I got back more into computers, I originally started out studying to be an EE major, but never finished because I became more interested in programming instead. I was wondering what kind of school would one go to do get into doing this line of work. When I was studying EE, I finished all pre-engineering courses, and a few of the core electronics classes and an instrumentation classes (although it was nearly 10 years ago now!). I like working with my hands, and have always been messing around with electrical things and hobbie electronics off and on (which is why I started out studying EE). Also what kind of salaries does one make in this field (starting and average). Any advice anyone can offer would be appreciated, and thanks.

Regards,
