Junior going for a B.S. in CS with a concentration in cybsec. I got an internship working with scada systems at a gold mine last year and all the guys told me to be an instrument tech. Seriously have never been so conflicted in my life😂

look up regret rates. i'm not sure about electricians but trades have really high regret rates

Depending on where you live. You may want to consider checking into the Ibew in your area. Better benefits than working for just some random contractor.

For a little context, I worked as a helper for an electrician for 2 years while I was in college and loved it. I'm sure if you hadn't seen both white collar and blue collar lifestyles you might regret your choice to do a trade. Having seen both, I actually regret going to college.

Also heavily depends on the type of electrician u want to be. Some of those guys go to sites in the middle of nowhere for months at a time, while some do local contracting. Broad field just like CS
