What level of college degree would you recommend someone attain if they are aspiring to become a electrican?

From my personal experience, my father and brother did a two year vocational/trade school during their junior and senior year. Once you complete the course you can sit for your test to become a certified journeymen. This allowed them to work for their local electrical group to gain experience and then applied for the electrical union which is great for higher pay but are hard to get into. The union sent my brother to a 5 year apprenticeship program where he goes to school every other Saturday. This is great experience and worth college credits.

I'm sure there are different routes you could look into but this has helped them become successful.

Becoming an Electrician does not require a college degree. If this is your desired career, you can become an Electrician by attending a trade school and completing an apprenticeship. I would recommend you speak with an Electrician about their journey to becoming certified. Ideally you might even be able to spend a day shadowing an Electrician to learn more about the day to day experiences of this career choice.

I found this response online as well: No college education is required to become an electrician, but significant training takes place through an apprenticeship program, which provides in-class and hands-on instruction.

Obtaining a degree in electrical technology can lead to a career as an electrician.

You may also want to consider a degree in Electrical Engineering.

Generally they fall into two areas, high voltage lineman and commercial/residential electrician. There are also trade schools that you an attend to gain these crucial skills.

I would also do research on the future job outlook on both areas and read up on what a 'day in the life ' of an electrician is like to see if you will like that work.
