Trade school, if im not mistaken, one year too one year and a half of schooling...very strong trade and high demand along with electricians. I dont know if ts like electricians where after schooling they start first apprentice up untill 5th and then become master electrician. But i have a coule of buddies into it and theyre happy with their salary...i dont know if plumbers make 80 k and up but i do know master electrician now is at a minimum salary of 30/h and its been going up a dollar a year a few years now..
Im actually looking into electrician trade .
Good luck to your friend!
