Are Electricians Underpaid? (Contractors vs Electricians)

🎙️ In the last episode, we talked about the realities of being an electrical apprentice and the things nobody warns you about when entering the trade.But one topic always comes up once electricians gain experience on the jobsite: money.Many apprentices and journeymen wonder if electrical contractors are making huge profits while electricians struggle with wages and rising costs of living.At the same time, contractors carry the financial risk of running a business — payroll, insurance, tools, trucks, permits, and project liability.So what is the truth?📌 Explore More:🌐 Website: energizeus-edu.today🎙️ More Episodes: podcast.energizeus-edu.today📘 Free eBook: info.energizeus-edu.today/blueprint-ebook📸 Follow Us: @energizeusedu on Instagram

Should an 18 Year Old Become an Electrician in 2026?

🎙️ Is becoming an electrician still a smart move for an 18-year-old in 2026?For years the message was simple: go to college. But while that happened, the skilled trades kept aging. The average worker in construction is now in their 40s, and companies across the country are struggling to find the next generation.So if the opportunity is so big… why aren’t more young people entering the trades?In this episode we break down the real decision facing young people today. College vs apprenticeship, student debt vs earning while learning, and what a career as an electrician can actually look like over the next 10–20 years.Topics we cover:• Trade school vs college• The electrician career path (apprentice → journeyman → contractor)• Why the construction workforce keeps getting older• Opportunities coming from electrification, EV infrastructure, and grid upgrades• What an 18-year-old should really think about before entering the trades🎧 Listen now on Work N Talk.📌 Explore More:🌐 Website: energizeus-edu.today🎙️ More Episodes: podcast.energizeus-edu.today🏗️ B.U.L.D.

episode Why Most Apprentices Quit the Trades (Year One Reality) cover

Why Most Apprentices Quit the Trades (Year One Reality)

🎙️Most apprentices don’t quit because they’re weak.They quit because year one hits harder than anyone tells them.Low starting pay.No real mentorship.Toxic jobsite culture.Unclear growth path.Pressure at home.Pressure at work.And then we wonder why they leave.In this episode of The Builder Show, we break down the real reason apprentices walk away from electrical, construction, plumbing, and HVAC. Not theory. Not social media hype. Real experience and real numbers.Over 100,000 apprentices complete programs each year.Even more leave before finishing.So what’s actually going on inside the trades?Is it pay?Is it leadership?Is it culture?Is it unrealistic expectations?Or are we building workers instead of building leaders?If you’re:– An apprentice thinking about quitting– A journeyman frustrated with “this generation”– A contractor struggling with retention– Or someone considering joining the tradesYou need to hear this conversation.The trades aren’t glamorous.They aren’t always fun.But they can absolutely be worth it — if the system is built right.🗣️ New episodes every week — hit subscribe so you never miss a moment.🎧 Listen now on Work N Talk.📌 Explore More:🌐 Website: energizeus-edu.today🎙️ More Episodes: podcast.energizeus-edu.today📘 Free eBook: info.energizeus-edu.today/blueprint-ebook📸 Follow Us: @energizeusedu on Instagram

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
