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

There’s no reason you shouldn’t. The trades though male dominated are for every one. I applaud you for doing it as there will always be a need for electricians and you’ll never be out of a job

@MrAboo Thanks, the guy I have been helping started out as a building electrician but now specialists in medical equipment

@ChloeYoung I didn’t know an electrician could specialize, is he making more as a result?

@MrAboo He is an A grade electrician with a special class license, what ever that means 🤷‍♀️ But his specialty now is electronics

@ChloeYoung very cool, I was aware electricians could work on electronics and the electric lines. I was unaware there were licensing requirements
