Any electricians on here?
I'm a sparky but now work in Operations (Power Plant).
My boys are now getting to that stage where they are deciding what to do and getting an electrical trade is #1 on both their lists.
It opens a lot of doors and there are many avenues after you can go down after you get your trade.
#1 son is doing work experience at my place in a couple of months, this allows him to drop 2 subjects in year 11 & 12 and get himself onto a VET course that reflects his work experience efforts.
So he will be doing level 1 & 2 in Electrotechnology which will be a decent foot-up to getting an apprenticeship if he goes down that road.
If you can financially afford to do it and it's what you want... get err done.
