I hired a driver in Spain to take us from Valencia to Granada. Striking up a conversation with him on the way I learned he used to be an electrician and said he would never go back to it. Guess it depends on the individual. I worked in Alaska one summer and got to kind of assist an electrician while we were getting the cannery ready to process fish for the upcoming season. For a commercial job like that there was a good amount of physical labor and crawling around in attics etc involved getting the cables from place to place. I also had a job doing telecom wiring at my university. Most of that was just straightforward wiring jacks or hooking up lines at the end points but it did lead to another job I got at better pay but involved more physical labor pulling wires. Like anything else, any career you go into will need to be managed or you could just find yourself stagnating.
