According to the Bureau of Labor, over 650,000 electricians were employed in 2020, which is over 100,000 more than in 2011.

It provides electricians to work with real estate project developers. Most electrical contractor CEOs were formerly electricians, so you have a great chance of leading a firm too.

To become an electrical contractor, you can use an online platform like Upstryve to get your mentorship, tutoring, and licensing. That will help you comply with state requirements, which, depending on your state, may require formal and legal registration.

One of the advantages of becoming an electrical contractor is the earnings. The numbers will whet your appetite. In 2020, for example, the average salary was $61,000 for electricians and $80,000 for electrical contractors. So, you’re looking at a lucrative career that may not be easy to pursue but will be worth it.
