All good advice above, if you notice in most of the posts they recommend working in the field for a while, this trial time will give you a chance to see if this field is for you. Most county colleges offer a two year program with electrical subjects. If you enroll in college, and work for a contractor part time this would be a good start. Most of the students we had worked with us part time took this route. I am proud to report that today every one of them could buy a car wash. Don't look for the easy way, it does not exist.
