Tom had 5 applications out within the Skilled Trades and the electricians called first so that’s the trade he went with! The thing he loves the most is the diversity of his job; there are so many different things you can do as an electrician. One of the best parts is “earning while you’re learning” with apprenticeships. Watch his job talk to hear about the 3 types of licenses an Electrician can obtain.

Well, I’m electrician by trade I believe It was one of the best decision that I’ve made in my life, I see the world in a different way, you know… I have learned through this process, I am more conscious of live, more focused and very concert of safety. Being electrician have made me achieve a lot of objectives. I am about to finish my degree as a chemical engineering, by the way I am 40.

@mirekchance 3 жыл бұрын

Ya well meanwhile here in Alberta we got a nice pay cut last 5 yrs, so 40 + hour an hour is hard to find now. Journeyman rate is from 31/hr to 40. But them lower rates are rather too common. And if you didnt do Canadian schooling you can also end up working for 15/hr, even if you were in the trade for 10 yrs, did your own projects and have directly related collage education. Many companies also seem to be looking for 1st, 2nd year apprentices to keep cost down even further. I haven't seen an add for 4th yr in months:(. Some contractors also choose not to pay at times if they underbid the project or just because they can.... Good luck, do your school on time and try to get employment with big companies, where it helps to be a non smoker. Work is also economy dependent.... Engineering can perhaps be a better option or other university education based profession.
