so here is my story. I'm 20, from Minnesota, and attending the university of Wisconsin. I'm a sophomore, with a 3.5 gpa but I can't seem to find a major that appeals to me. When home from school I like to have little projects going (restoring a razor, making a desk, tinkering with electronics, etc.) When talking about my lack of direction, one of my parents suggested that maybe I'd like to do some kind of work with my hands, specifically becoming an electrician. I've done some research on the internet and it seems like interesting work, people seem to say they make alot of money and you aren't stuck at a desk.

SRP, you usually have good insight on most topics, are any of you electricians, or friends of electricians, or related to the profession in some way in that you might have information that would be beneficial to someone in my shoes?
Obviously, its something I'm going to have to decide on my own and I'm not exactly planning to drop out of school and run down to the local union for an apprenticeship but it seems like a possible direction.

I'm very appreciative of any knowledge you'd like to share.
Thanks
