Can you see any reason why I shouldn’t pursue this

My secondary schooling finishes in about eight months and soon we will be taking to a career advisor. Unlike most of my friends I’m not going to continue my education, after lots of thought and talking to people I’ve decided to become an apprentice electrician. More and more girls are getting into trades these days and that would definitely suit me better than an office job

Nothing wrong with pursuing a trade. We need people doing those jobs as much as any other. Go for it

@ViciDraco Thanks, it turns out they earn pretty good money as well

@ChloeYoung partially because there is danger in it and usually because not enough people pursue it. So many focus on college and overlook trades, so the demand is high

@ViciDraco Yup the guy I was helping said his electrical licence means people’s lives at stake if he was to do something wrong. He also said if I got sick of doing hands on stuff I could always branch out into more technical fields
