What’s up y’all, I’m a new journeyman working in industrial service. We do a little bit of everything, but mostly controls. I’ve pretty much settled upon the fact that I’m not interested in the typical electrician career path. I’m more of an emotional/odd ball dude, and while I do fine on the job site and fit in well, I’m pretty much wearing a mask out there, and that is extremely taxing internally.
So I’m thinking about all the possible paths I could go down, before I just straight up take the dive and go to college. Any of y’all have insight on being a high school electrical instructor? Obviously I’ll be taking a pay cut, but I feel like it will be much more fulfilling. I don’t inherintly hate electrical work, and I feel like being in that position will make it much more enjoyable for me.
Idk, I’m just looking for general advice about this. Thanks guys!
