Electrician, on the other hand?
- h2odragon 5y ago> Electrician, on the other hand? Still involves a surprising amount of carpentry. And finding where the hell the wires were run in other people's "wtf were these fools thinking?" grade framing. and other fun stuff.
- Ekaros 5y agoSimilar physical demands to plumbing. The proper cables are not light. Installation is still pain and involves hard to reach places. And fun stuff like crawling in crawl spaces sometimes etc. I suppose telco might be most reasonable. Or if pay isn't important electronics. And even there is problems.
- klyrs 5y agoHonestly, it isn't even the poop. I do my own sink faucets and whatnot, and hate every minute of it. I wouldn't survive framing, but making fancy furniture has some appeal. But then... finishing is also gross and wet. And sticky. On the other hand: about once every 3 years, I shut my computer down and get the dust out. I even hate that. The only nasty wet messes I don't mind dealing with come from my child or the refrigerator. All else, I'm happy to pay somebody else.
