Someone once told me to get into electrician roles you should start young. Sad bc I would totally love to leave IT for good & study to become an electrician, but apparently I’m “too old” to start 🤷🏼♀️
It’s hard to get an apprenticeship to become one in Australia after your mid twenties. I’ve heard it’s because your pay has to be a fair bit higher than the kids just out of school, so they’d rather train a teenager.

Yes asking for a friend.

That’s interesting! Yes, in the USA, I guess it’s early twenties to start an apprenticeship program.
Apprenticeships are damn near impossible to find in the US, period. Usually people go to trade schools.

You would recommend trades as a second/side job? Seems like it’d be a bit taxing physically and not flexible on scheduling – I could be wrong.
