In my experience, electricians do not "make" anything.

Carpenters "make" things, builders "make" things, engineers "make" things, but electricians join bits of wire to things.

Always happy to help.

As a Time served, experienced, skilled Electrician your earnings should reflect the effort required to get to that stage.

It would appear however that the same amount of effort is required in jumping on the back of a Lorry and travelling across Europe. :speechless:

You say year 10, do you mean school year? Are you 15/16?

you could try asking an Australian company like Brookfield Multiplex, I heard $100,000 Australian Dollars for a new Electrician and up to $140,000 Australian Dollars after a few years......don't know if that's correct though, just what I heard about Australian rates,,,,,its probably $2 for a can of coke over there though so it probably works out at something like 40,000 UK pounds to 55,000 UK pounds.....something like that....for about 50 hours a week....
