Considering becoming a sparky (advice needed)
Looking for advice as a 21F.
I have no previous experience in trades. Worked the past two years being a sport PE teacher and am looking for a change. Now that I've come to the realisation that university just is not for me (as I think that a lot of Uni degrees may end up becoming useless due to AI advancements, also the student debt) I think that a trade might be the go.
I enjoy understanding how things work, figuring out problems, learning practical skills and am interested in career progression.
I've applied for a Certificate II in Electrotechnology at Tafe. This course is about 4 months and think its a good way for me at to get an initial understanding.
However, I am wondering about career progression, how is the industry in general, is this a solid choice? What can I do in regard to not having experience?
Eventually I hope to gain entry to work in the mines as this suits my current situation.
