Becoming An Electrician in Parkersburg, West Virginia

You go into it making good money while your friends work crap jobs or go to college accumulating debt. By the time you're a journeyman you're 22 making more than $60k a year with no debt. Think of the potential. Especially if you're smart and save money from day 1. Its good satisfying work. I always feel very fulfilled at the end of a job. I built that!

The electrical trade is a bit difficult at first, but is very rewarding. I always feel accomplished after a big job. I also recommend going union. The union helps you to find a job to allow you to work and learn at the same time. Since the program is run by workers, they understand the needs of the apprentices.

Hours are good, money is great, and you will be learning all the time. It is a great trade. They will always need electricians.
