Riley’s Answer

If you are looking to become a professional electrician, you can pursue a degree in electricity. One way of doing this is to attend an electrician trade school, which is typically a 2-year program that will certify you to work professionally. If you would rather attend a community college for this degree, you could get the same amount of skills by earning an associate's degree in electrical technology.

Paul’s Answer

BTW, this is a great field to be in! And fields of this type are often overlooked in pursuit of a college degree. Simply put, college isn't for everyone. And the dirty little secret is, many trade skill professions make more money than white collar jobs.

It looks like the other people who answered you know more specifics about the field, but I'd like to throw out an additional suggestion. If your schooling allows it, make sure to get part time jobs in your field. I've learned over the years that a formal education is good, practical experience is actually a little bit better (especially in a field like yours), but the two together are the killer combination. You should have no problem finding a good job when you're done.

Good luck!

My son is also interested in a career as an electrician

These certificate programs are very affordable and can add to your resume if you're trying to break into an entry level job
Here's the link to their programs in this area

Hope this helps.
