Pros/cons from those of you in the field?
Pros: Good money and stable
Cons: Lots of travel during storm season (especially if contract), lots of OT, relatively hazardous job

My nephew is 24 and brings in more than I do. That's all I got.

school's expensive but make it up pretty quick once you get a job. I know some from Oregon and Arizona. They like it

A guy that lives not far from me is a lineman.I would say his house is one of the prettiest,most expensive in Grant Parish.He did live in a mobile home a good many years before he built.
Tough job,he works a lot post ice storms and hurricanes.

Appreciate all the responses. Lots of advice and wisdom.
Exactly this. He’s capable of college but it’s just not for him right now.

the experience will almost surely get him into an electrician apprenticeship or other trade related positions. If a worthwhile college degree isn't in the cards for my kids, that's the route I would suggest for them.
