Which electrical job is easier or high paying?
I’ve done residential, commercial and industrial work. Of all of them I would say I disliked being a Residential Electrician most. A lot of the time I was working alone, the pay wasn’t as good and you had to hunt for a house to wire all the time. The pay wasn’t as good because of competition from all the fly by night guys who will do it fast and cheap but sometimes not get everything right. When you got finished with one house you had to find another. The work was pretty easy. Some of the stuff I had to do included planning the layout of the homes electrical system, putting up boxes for the switches, lights and receptacles. Pulling romex (NM cable), mount and install the breaker panel and service entrance conductors as well as mounting the meter base. Then you had to wire everything up and install devices. Neatness always counts and you must install everything in a neat and workmanlike manner. As far as knowing the National Electrical Code (NEC), residential work required the most know
