Challenges and Rewards of a Career as an Electrician

2 Theirs always that personal satisfaction you get when you get a job done perfectly and the customers happy, theirs no other feeling like it. Although becoming an electrician can be challenging such as schooling and training, it can also be rewarding when it gets to insurance and salary, however it can be a dangerous job if the necessary safety measures are not taken. No further training is required unless enforced by the business you work for. A high school diploma is required to become a certified electrician. The jobs of electricians are expected to grow over 20 percent from 2010 to 2020. This is considered a faster then average growing job. With the economy still reeling from the effects from the effects of recession and unemployment, electrical contractors are re-evaluating their businesses and taking on new and different roles to remain competitive (Bloom 12). Overall growth of the construction industry and maintenance of older equipment in manufacturing plants also will require more electricians. Although the global economy plays a big part in the number of electricians in the world, there will always be a great demand for them. Homes and businesses will always need to be wired, if it was not for electricians that would be pretty difficult. There are so many different types of electricians that nobody is aware of. There are industrial electricians, commercial electricians, domestic electricians, construction electricians, outdoor electricians or lineman, and aviation electricians. Some math is involved, such as when you are running wires through a new building or home. When an electrician is setting up a breaker, there are a bunch of switches and panels that need to be hooked up correctly using math. If the finished product is not correct, the switches on the wall would work for something completely different, probably not even in that room. If that’s the case, an electrician would have to go back and edit the circuit breakers
