Yesterday I was showing off my hard work, wooden products I make from recycled wood.

The question "why did I become and electrician" came up.

The reason I became an electrician and not a painter or plumber or carpenter, was because back in the day people saw an electrician as a skilled person (that's what I thought, I could have been wrong) with lots of opportunity and variation in my job.

What happened to the electrical industry

I have seen lawyers do a better electrical installation than some electricians and that is saying something.
