Look into Programmable Logic Controls, (PLCs) they are in high demand with the growing electrical industry. HMI design, solar panel industry, journeyman, instrumentation, low voltage work, information technology. The opportunities are endless.

Hi Antonio,
Several jobs can go with electrical, for example:
1. Inside Wiremen: Inside wiremen work in interior industrial and commercial environments, connecting the electrical systems and equipment to the outside power source.
2. Outside Linemen: outside linemen install the electrical lines that carry electricity from the power plant to the end user. They install and maintain transformers, string new transmission lines, and maintain existing lines.
3. Installer Technician: installer technicians work with the inside or residential wiremen installing low-voltage cabling for voice, video, and data transmissions. Installer technicians work in industrial and commercial settings, installing data outlets at employee workstations.
4. Renewable Energy Technician: renewable energy technicians work indoors and outside installing and maintaining alternative energy systems.

Hello Antonio,
I would look into the construction industry as a whole. The more skills/training/certifications you have it will make you more valuable at a company. I know obtaining your license as a Master Electrician is difficult but it will pay you multiple times over in your lifetime.

Hi Antonio,
Are we talking about electrical itself or electrical engineering?
Inside Wiremen. Inside wiremen work in interior industrial and commercial environments, connecting the electrical systems and equipment to the outside power source. Outside Linemen. Residential Wireman. Installer Technician. Renewable Energy Technician.
If we are talking about industrial electrical it could lead you to other sources;
Work in the HVAC Field.
Work in the Plumbing Field.
Work in the Construction Field.
My brother used to work in Electrical companies and he work in a lot of varied jobs. One was putting lights in sporting stadium which I thought was very cool.
Wishing you best of luck!!!
Are you taking any technical classes now?
Have you talked to anyone in the field that might be able to give you feedback or suggestions on getting started?
Try writing down what you like best of being electrician, this way you have a better idea of what to look for.
Do you want to work for a small company? Big company, be independent?
Wish you the best of Luck!
