I'm a decade into the electrical trade. The sacrifice is your body. The toll can be avoided if you specialize in something that is minimal wear and tear. But your common electrician crawling in attics, underneath houses and other tight dirty spaces,it takes a heavy toll. Mentally as well. I only know a handful of electricians that don't have some horrible habit because of the job and the pain in the ass it is sometimes. A lot of broken families. A lot of drug addictions. People die too out here. I knew a guy that fell off a six foot ladder and hit his head and died. You work with a bunch of fuck ups who you have to rely on with your life.
There are also the customers. Holy fuck. A bunch of rich rich assholes with BLM signs in their yards. Completely detached from reality and think you are charging them too much. While when you leave theyre sending thousands to some black or Jewish charity scheme. Don't get me wrong there are some good people. But most of the time you will be working for Jews and other unworthy people.
But after eight years you can have your own business with Boone to stop you but yourself. Right now in the trade an electrician can name their own price. I offered to do a small job for an aquitance said I would charge 100/hr and he shook my hand and thanked me. He couldn't even get anyone to look at it for less than 120/hr.
But the physical and mental toll are real. So is the danger. And you never know who you'll be working with. I gave it a shot and it's paying dividends now. But my right hand I've hurt three fingers on it. My right elbow is shot.
