People say that tall people make for good electricians. My dad (who is also tall) did that in his 20s, but he had to quit because it hurt his shoulders so much to raise his hands all day. You do a lot of work in ceilings as an electrician. I think I would develop the same problem pretty quickly.
@thor I got electrocuted a few times but I'm not a Licensed Electrician in a Union. I've done a lot of electrical work and repairs. There are smart electricians and there are the rest of them. I'd mostly done work with DC current before working with AC. It looks sloppy even when performed by a competent electrician. Some of the things I worked on were seriously flawed. In not talking about my own safety but approximately a 20V lower Voltage than what it was supposed to be. Getting electrocuted was the result of bypassed safety systems that were supposed to be intact or a flawed product. Yes overhead work is bad but so is having to climb inside a cramped space and wonder if I actually could blow myself in that position.
Licenses and certification bodies in the US are organized crime that are accepted by governments and companies. "Solarwinds123", certifications were used for that great accomplishment.
Unions are also organized crime that extort workers, use physical violence against useful people and cause production problems as much as the companies. It's like a mix of the KKK and Free Masons but without integrity and no respect for their members.
I oppose any union or certification body I come across. They are businesses that prey upon ignorance and offer empty promises.
