Got into being a low voltage electrician out of pure luck.
Kiddo on the way, just a dumbass working at Dominos… But it turns out a family member goes fishing with a guy who works for a fire alarm company. Talks about me to em, which then turns into them saying if I wanna work hard I should get a real job.
Long story short, that company ended up having to lay me off because of their own fuckups, but my foot was already in the door. Besides fucking up plenty myself, I have found myself in a very good position from all the “courses” I have since taken, and would suggest everyone else also take this route. If you’re willing to learn, and enjoy working on your own, low voltage is the way to go. It is also a relatively safe field. I have been electrocuted a few times, but purely due to my own negligence (or for fun, 24vac ain’t that bad), and nothing long term has ever come up.
