Those with a side/second job in this economy, what is it that you do and how did you get into it?

Someone once told me to get into electrician roles you should start young. Sad bc I would totally love to leave IT for good & study to become an electrician, but apparently I’m “too old” to start 🤷🏼‍♀️

can i ask how old is considered too old for that? just something i was considering too

Yes asking for a friend.

It's hard to get an apprenticeship to become one in Australia after your mid twenties. I've heard it's because your pay has to be a fair bit higher than the kids just out of school, so they'd rather train a teenager.

That’s interesting! Yes, in the USA, I guess it’s early twenties to start an apprenticeship program.

Apprenticeships are damn near impossible to find in the US, period. Usually people go to trade schools.
