What's a degree worth?
Not much in my book- I earn twice that with no college degree and an electrical contractors license.

That is average salary after completing a four-year program. The upside is far greater than that of an electrician, especially if one gets an advanced degree.

That being said, I myself am sorry I didn't become an electrician decades ago. I'd have my own firm by now.

Note those are starting salaries. I started with an engineering degree, but am earning many times that now owning a company that has little to do with engineering. Most apprentice electricians are lucky to make $15 an hour.
