About this career

Electricians wire and maintain the electrical systems in buildings and equipment — hands-on, well-paid, in-demand work. Many learn through a paid apprenticeship instead of a four-year degree, earning while they train. A great fit if you like working with your hands, solving practical problems, and being able to point to what you built.
