Do electrician's make a lot of money?

I don't know if i should drop out of my courses that i have now and go for an apprenticeship. How much money do they make roughly in Canada?

Wouldnt have a clue about Canada but I know a couple of sparks who earn anything between £400 - 600 a week. Depends how much work they have on.

Can't help you with Canada, but I'll tell ya what I know.

In Kansas, a union journeyman makes approx $25 per hour in the check. He also gets another $5-7 per hour in bennys. Not sure what apprentices make.

Any trade skill can make a lot of money if you have your own business.

I knwo a guy who is an electrician and owns his own business and he makes a lot of money. His wife is a big spender and hes got his own house with abrand new truck. But he works his ass off and travels a lot

My Uncle is an electrician. He runs his own business and he makes quite a lot of money, something like 200,000 dollars in a year but it can vary. But he also works very hard and travels a lot. You really need to be in good fitness if you want to be a private electrician.
