So you think you could be an electrician?

    Having been an electrician turned dev, friends ask me if I miss it at times and I can honestly say I don't miss being covered in rat faeces and fibreglass. Much prefer my standing desk and clean air.

      I did the inverse, and while I don't enjoy poo and fibreglass, I do immensely enjoy the days I work outside in the spring and summer. Easily worth a bit of occasional poo. :)

        Absolutely fair, I've got joint problems, so it just wasn't working for me anymore, but glad it is for you!
