What it really takes to become an electrician
Original: So you think you could be an electrician?
Asterisk Magazine has published a long-form feature examining whether the skilled trades, particularly electrical work, are as accessible as critics of the college pipeline claim. The piece walks through the training, apprenticeships, licensing exams and day-to-day demands of the job, weighing the often-cited argument that trades offer a reliable alternative to university for young workers.
Why now: The skilled-trades-versus-college debate is prominent right now as policymakers and commentators push vocational careers as a response to rising education costs and labor shortages.
