Eh, not really. I was an electrician for awhile, and unless they own their own business, the most they'll probably be making is ~$40 an hour, and that's after years of being in the business. Yeah you can pull in some big bucks... provided you work well over 40 hours a week. And you have to start small, making $8-10 as an apprentice (though raises come fairly quickly when you start). Nurses, however, can start upwards of 40k. |
It can vary, but my cousin made 80k out the gate starting pay as an Egineer. And one of my friends who's a nurse earns 50k a year 5 years in.
