Residential is 10-15 an hour

Commercial/Industrial is 15-25 an hour

Linework is 15-30 an hour

Residential is more illegals right now. Commercial/Industrial is just spics and niggers mostly all legal. Lineworkers are mostly white and a few spics and niggers. I wouldn't recommend Residential unless you want to use it as a stepping tool into commercial. If you are wanting to go into your own business do commercial/industrial. The skills that get you paid most in Electrical is installing motors and live work. Both are easy to do, but a pain in the ass to learn to do right.

I say Commercial/Industrial instead of Residential is because of finishing work. Installing all the lights and receptacles. You'll get more experience doing the fine work than in residential and off time is less with commercial. The trades slow down during winter, less work.

If you enter into the Electrical trade, the apprenticeship would pay for school and you would work while going to school (You'll be paid, and if they say you're not go somewhere else.) If you pay for the schooling yourself it use to be 1k the first year and 1500 the next three, but it's been years since I've even been around an apprentice. You'll get paid 15 starting and if you show promise that can be raised quickly. Show up at least 30mins early to the job site, ask questions, don't be caught on your phone, work and you'll stand out from everyone else.Tthat works for all the trades.
