Electricians are generally employed, so they are told when to work. They may be required to work overtime, weekends and spend some time on call 24 hours. It can be a demanding schedule. Most of the working day is spent in customers’ homes or businesses so there will be normally be plenty of travel. You will need to work alone and as part of a team so self motivation and team work are essential. Problem solving will be a big part of your job so it helps if you enjoy a technical challenge on a daily basis, some people just hate dealing with problems! There are good opportunities to progress your career in different directions which is ideal if you like new and different challenges (bored easily – like me).
Ask yourself these questions and write a list of pros and cons about becoming an electrician, this can be a huge help.
There is said to be a growing demand for electricians, in recent years plumbing has seen an explosion in demand but in a lot of areas this demand is well on the way to being met. Tough new EU regulations known as ‘Part P’ are expected to greatly increase demand (and pay)... Maybe working as an electrician has an even brighter future? – I would advise you to use Google to do your own research on this as nothing is set in stone, the situation can change and Google will have the latest information.
