Sliiightly unrelated, and I absolutely don’t mean this condescendingly (and I don’t mean to keep bothering you either, feel free to ignore ofc) — I’m just in the dark. When you say ‘Trade work’ and ‘learn a trade’… what do you mean by a trade? The only thing that comes to mind with ‘trade’ is being a plumber, woodworker, etc but I’m pretty sure that’s not what you meant ahejdydj

It is! Due to the push for young people to go to college and get jobs that utilize those degrees, the United States has actually seen a concerning decrease across the decades of people who are qualified to do trade work such as plumbers and electricians, etc. As a result, the population in those trades is aging quickly, and we are anticipating that there won't be enough people to do those jobs very soon. A lot of them are nearing retirement age. Thanks to that demographic shift, young people entering those trades are a very high demand, and in many areas, the pay for such a job can be like 50,000 a year, which can be a solid living wage on par with something like teaching. And in most cases, the apprenticeships are paid, which is definitely a consideration for people who don't want to deal with student loans.

@thisarenotarealblog, any input?

"YOU ELECTRICIANS GET OUT OF MY TREES!!"

[rjzimmerman]

My dad was an electrician. I had no desire to emulate him, because when I was little, to imitate him, I stuck a fork in an electrical outlet. I remember that it made noise and hurt. Hence, that career choice was never on the list.

Excerpt from this story from the Washington Post:

Over the past several years, the mantra of energy experts has been that we need to electrify everything — and then switch electrical power generation over to clean sources of power like wind, solar, geothermal and nuclear. Doing so will rapidly decrease carbon emissions and help to stave off dangerous levels of warming.

But installing all of that electrical stuff — the solar panels, the heat pumps, the transmission lines — will require something that the United States doesn’t have: lots and lots of electricians.

According to the nonprofit group Rewiring America, which focuses on electrification, shifting the economy away from fossil fuels will require no fewer than 1 billion new electrical appliances, cars and other items in American households alone.

“It’s a billion machines that need to be installed or replaced over the next 25 years across 121 million homes,” said Ari Matusiak, the CEO of Rewiring America. “There need to be significantly more individuals who are trained to install these machines — and one subset of that is electricians who are trained to put in breaker boxes, wire our homes, and connect devices to our electric sources.”

The problem is that many in the industry say the country is already in a state of electrician shortage — one that could get worse as clean energy ramps up. “We’re in an electrician shortage now,” said Sam Steyer, the president and CEO of Greenwork, a start-up that tries to connect clean energy workers with companies. Steyer says that homeowners attempting to install heat pumps or electric car chargers have already reported problems finding certified tradespeople to do the work that they need: Waiting lists sometimes stretch on for months.

Part of the issue is that more people are leaving the profession than entering it. According to the National Electrical Contractors Association, more electricians retire every year than are replaced. This is part of what is known as the “silver tsunami,” or a wave of tradespeople aging out of their careers and leaving a hole behind. There are around 700,000 electricians working in the country today, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there will be around 80,000 new electrician jobs available every year until 2031 — and that most of those jobs will just be in replacing the existing workforce.

im reading smut on my laptop at school, and there are electricians hired for whatever reasons and they are flirting lol 😂

I cringe whenever I see this type of electrical connection.  Someone needed a 30 amp, 240-volt electrical receptacle outlet for a floor sanding machine.  Except for electric clothes dryers, that type of circuit is rare in residences.

To get power for the floor sanding machine, it is a common practice to remove a few circuit breakers, say a prayer, and then clip directly onto the main busbars without any fault and overload protection or personal protection equipment.  It is not electricians doing this; it is the floor-sanding people who should not put their hands into a live electrical panel.

I have also seen welders do this on commercial construction sites to get power for their electric welders.

The alternative is to have an electrician install a new circuit and electrical receptacle outlet for a few days of equipment use.

Our electrician is a perfectionist. There was a maybe 2mm dip, maybe, in this conduit. It drove him crazy. I told him I’d be painting it all white tomorrow, so it will never be noticed.

He said he wouldn’t be able to sleep, and would wake us up in the middle of the night drilling in a new conduit hanger if he didn’t fix it now.
