What would be a better long term career, An electrician or renewable energy technician?

October 26th, 2009

I’m 22 and I need to do something with my life. The salaries of the two careers are around the same, but I want a job that will last. Renewable energy is suppose to be big in the future, but I’m sure how many jobs will be available. Any suggestions?

Go with electrician first. The chances are great that those skills will carry over into other things like electronics. You can still take classes for renewable energy technician at night after work. There is no need to end your education simply because you have gained a career.

Electrician is a proven and lasting career field. Go with it.
Renewable Energy still has a long way to go before it can offer you a promising future you can depend on.

    I’d go with a sure thing, an electrician. Union jobs pay high, and with benefits.

    why cant you do both? i would start with electrician since there are more jobs for that now… then continue your education by building skills in renewable energy in your spare time. You will have more flexible options this way.
