Its hard to say that anyone is better off in a certain career. What's important is that its a good fit for you. Some things to consider may be:
1. How much education are you willing to take on?
2. How hard is it to get/keep a job?
- Maybe go look for jobs in your area and see how many are posted.
3. What is your earning potential? Does it align with your goals (travel, hobbies, property ownership, family size, etc.)
4. Would you be comfortable with the day to day tasks?
- Not everyone likes a desk job. Others don't like working in the sun. Everyone is different.
- Talking to actual folks in the career path can help you know what its like.
- Shadowing, interning and part time jobs can also help you get a feel for the job.

Being an electrical Lineman is a fantastic job. You are in demand, and because it takes training and time to get your license, it is a secure job as long as you work hard. The main thing with being a lineman is making sure you follow all the safety guidelines that keep you safe, and learn from the best, what the best practices are and why. Never assume, always check. Good Luck, you will be very pleased with the job.
