A few words about the self-taught person

If you are interested in the profession of an electrician just to perform self-simple electrical work,it will be sufficient to study all the material from books and video courses, after which it is very easy to perform simple connections and repairs. We have often met quite literate electricians who performed complex works without education, and we can say with confidence that they did it very professionally. At the same time, there were also grief-electricians with a higher education, which the language does not turn to be called engineers.

All this leads to the fact that it is possible to become an electrician at home, but still it will not hurt to consolidate the knowledge gained by going through the courses. Another way to learn all the necessary skills is to ask an electrician for a construction job. You can also advertise on various forums that agree to free of charge or for a small percentage of the profit to help electricians on "shabas".Very many specialists will not give up help, Tipo "lift to the floor", patrol or something else to help for a couple of hundred rubles. You, in turn, will be able to gain experience by observing the work of the master. After a few months of such a mutually beneficial work, you can start connecting outlets, automatons or even repair lamps yourself. And then only experience and new objects will help you become a good electrician without education.

Well, the last thing we recommend is to learn the basics according to our advice. For a start you can study the rubric of electrical wiring, after that go to useful tips and so on all sections. In addition to this, it will not hurt to study books, which we will also talk about and find a suitable video course. In the end, if there is an aspiration and you will be attentive to all the tasks set, it will certainly turn out to be an electrician at home.

For you to understand the prospects of such a profession, today there are a lot of lawyers, economists and other specialties, where mental work is more needed. But the workforce is sorely lacking in enterprises. As a result, with a great desire, you can learn and find a well-paid job if you really show yourself as an expert. The average salary of an electrician for 2016 is 35,000 rubles. Taking into account additional work on the call and increasing the level, it will be easy to earn much more - from 50,000 rubles. These figures are already clearing up the picture, it is promising to become an electrician.
