Electricians? What is the biggest pain about your job? Looking into this career and want to know the negatives.

The worst thing by far has to be html postings :)

sQuick IEng MIIE (elec)..

Crawl spaces lol...but other than that I think its better than being a plimber, roofer, carpenter etc. For the most part you are always out of the weather. Its a young mans occupation. It can be hard on the body depending on what area you get into. I have worked construction, both commercial and home wiring, and now I am in the maintenance for a large institution. Awesome job. Work with everything from Variable frequency drives to motor control, to data and telephone and everything in between. Not every day is stellar but I think its better than banging nails into wood all day.
