Would you rather spend $100,000 (or more) on a 4-year college degree or earn twice that much in the same amount of time while making life simpler, safer, and more environmentally friendly for hundreds of families and workers?
Then a career as an electrician may be perfect for you.
The Nation Needs Electricians—A Lot of Them
There’s no doubt that electricity is the fuel of the future. That means jobs for people in fields like transmission systems, wind and solar generation, heating and cooling systems, and electric vehicle charging are booming. Add to that new construction and rewiring homes and offices for new technology and appliances, and estimates are that the shift from fossil fuels will require 1 billion new electrical appliances, cars and other items in American households alone.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that about 80,000 electricians will be needed every year until at least 2031 to deal with the demand.
Electricians Are Paid Well—Often Very Well
Electricians make more on average than other trades including carpentry and plumbing. Plus, the work is cleaner and safer.
Based on data from three of the largest salary surveys (Salary.com, Glassdoor, and Ziprecruiter), the average annual earnings of Journeyman Electricians in Colorado is $64,000 and ranges as high as $94,000 depending on factors like skills, experience, and location. Beginning electrical apprentices start in the $35-40,000 range and earnings rise rapidly as they progress from apprentice to journeyman status.
Earn While You Learn Instead of Paying for It
An electrical apprentice earns as much as many college graduates do when they enter the workforce. And with the parttime and online learning opportunities today, if a college degree is your ultimate goal, you can still pursue it while earning excellent money as an electrician. It beats slinging burgers or driving strangers around. It pays better, too, and comes with benefits like paid vacation and insurance.
