Electrician from Ontario, Canada. Looking for advice…
Hello everyone, I hope this isn’t the wrong sub but I tried asking appropriate electrician subs and nobody seems to have any advice for me so far.
I’m a 22 year old, third year electrical apprentice from Ontario, Canada. Meaning I am a construction worker, so again I hope I’m not in the wrong sub for this so please just delete this post if I am lol.
I currently work at a company that does residential builds. I have a little bit of experience in highrise condos, but most of my apprenticeship I have spent building custom homes and new build subdivisions. Like many people, climate change has been absolutely destroying my mental health in recent years. Im at the point now where I have no motivation to do anything anymore, I find it very hard to care about most things I once was passionate about. This includes my work. I remember graduating high school and being so excited to start this career and do something meaningful with my life, and now I just contribute to suburban sprawl, and one of the most wasteful industries in the world.
I can go on and on about it but I’ll spare you all. I’m just looking for advice from anyone in my area who might know something about this they could tell me, like if what I’m looking for is even possible right now, in terms of my local job market and what to look for specifically. I want to branch off into more specialized careers where I’m building stuff that’s making a positive impact, and so I can leave the destructive one I currently work in. Any help is appreciated thank you!
