Someone once told me to get into electrician roles you should start young. Sad bc I would totally love to leave IT for good & study to become an electrician, but apparently Iβm βtoo oldβ to start π€·πΌββοΈ
can i ask how old is considered too old for that? just something i was considering too
Yes asking for a friend.
It's hard to get an apprenticeship to become one in Australia after your mid twenties. I've heard it's because your pay has to be a fair bit higher than the kids just out of school, so they'd rather train a teenager.
Apprenticeships are damn near impossible to find in the US, period. Usually people go to trade schools.
Thatβs interesting! Yes, in the USA, I guess itβs early twenties to start an apprenticeship program.
