Everything to Know About Becoming an Electrical Contractor

Posted on July 25, 2022July 25, 2022

Do you fancy becoming an electrician? It could be the right profession if you enjoy working outdoors with your hands. The YouTube video “Become an Electrician in 2021” provides a job outlook for electricians in 2021 — the pros and cons, salary expectations, and other important information.

Skilled electrical contractors have a wide range of situations where their skill is applicable. They are usually needed for installing, maintaining, and repairing electrical circuits and appliances in commercial and residential buildings.

The barrier of entry for electricians is also pretty low. It doesn’t require a four-year degree. High-school diploma holders can become electricians after undergoing rigorous training. Dealing with electricity also comes with its hazards. To avoid workplace injuries, an electrical contractor must exhibit extreme care while handling electric wires and materials.

Electricians also get a fair level of compensation for their work. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2020, electricians earned an average of about $61,550. This was higher than the pay for solar panel installers, HVAC technicians, auto mechanics, and plumbers, although it was less than what elevator and aircraft mechanics earn annually. Also, considering the steady growth in salary over the past few decades, the outlook for electricians is very positive.
