Okay, I've danced around this question since I found this board, and have tried to infer things from other contractors' posts, but now I need to ask it straight out: what's the job outlook for electricians in the US, especially with the economy going into the toilet? I'd especially like to hear from those in the Philadelphia/South Jersey area.
Those of you who've corresponded with me know my story: presently an IT tech who is pretty sure his job's on borrowed time. Since the IT job market has gone into the toilet even faster than the general economy, I'm looking to change fields, and I'm hoping the electrical field has better opportunities. Am I right, or is the sinking economy killing every field?
Thanks in advance for all replies,
MacWire
