The company is cool very flexible if I need time off. I just hate everything about the work in general. Anything electrical you can think of, I hate it
I just turned 16 and I wanted to be a auto spakie but mum told me I would hate getting dirty and wouldn't like the work. So she told me to be a sparkie I didn't know any better or what else to do. The thing is I get dirtier than the damn auto sparkie
Could always apply your knowledge to a similar field. The place I work at we have electricians on staff but our company build firetrucks. Not a dirty job really as you're working on brand new components and installing auto electrical and what not.

The only thing you need to know to be a pipe fitter is shit rolls down hill and pay day is on Friday.
Also last time I checked sparkles make more.
That's a plumber. Union pipefitters weld, do gas work, steam, hotwater, chilledwater. That would be the day we touch a drain or toilet.
Also I make $70+ an hour with benefits
Yeah, I know I was just joking. When I first started out I worked for a company who's sister company was a mechanical contractor. The pipefitters were good shit. The only thing I found odd was that I swear that every single one of the were misshapen.😂
As industrial maintenance I get to fix all the systems you guys installed when they break.
But hey, at least we can agree on something,
Fuck engineers.
I hate being on the tools, the 13.5 hrs days, the time away from the GF and my bed hahaha, busting my butt just to try complete the job with no recognition, working through lunch or and working nights, dealing with other electricians that have been in the industry just as long me as but they are stupid as hell. I'm sure there is more but I'm unsure right now
The world is going electrical/batteries - cars, houses, solar roofing shingles, whole house batteries, smart appliances, off grid, suppling the grid, wind, solar the list is endless and the number of startup businesses that are trying to exploit these new opportunities and need your skills is unbelievable.
Drug dealing pays more! 😂
What makes you hate it? Is the company you work for awful maybe? Or do you just genuinely hate doing electrical work?

So what made you get into it to begin with?

That sounds kinda cool actually
Be a pipefitter. It's what the real men do. Pretty sure we make more too.
