I called an electrician to install the Tesla model Y wall Charger and he charged $600 for one hour of work.
I was reading that in future the rates of electricians are going to go up since not many people are entering the field.
Would it be a good weekend hustle?

    If you know enough not to kill yourself from high voltage, sure why not

      TBH it actually isn’t anywhere as bad as India (for obvious reasons). If you’ve done any electrical work in India and gotten zapped this feels like nothing ;)

    If you have a EE degree from India and actually paid attention in college, it’s relatively easy to figure out most stuff. I am one of them and I find the hardest part is generally the “tear down” and clean up. Like I replaced a couple bath light fixtures the electrical work took 30mins the screws/ plates alignment, patching painting etc took a couple days.

    • Electrician and EE are very different. A big part of electrician work is knowing what’s up to code, and being bonded (at least in the US)

      Not saying you have to wire a newly built home. Talking about being able to fix stuff on your own

    Plumbers and electrician’s are in HOT demand now and they are easily making 1/2 million dollars these days. Some of them makes millions if they run like a company. They are charging $300-$400 per hour.
