      I live in a rural area outside of a small town in the southern USA. The local electrician, basically the guy almost everybody calls if they need basic residential electrical work, earns almost twice the high end of what that job listing is paying. Granted, he’s basically on call 7 days a week and I’m sure his job isn’t always unicorn farts and leprechaun rainbows, but he’s his own boss and works his own hours.

      In oregon an electrician makes $100k/yr, a controls electrician $160k, and an electrical engineer 200-300k.

      Yeah, let’s parse that out in real terms:

      Need to have completed trade school or 2 years of apprenticeship, neither of which they are willing to pay for.

      12 hour days, including many weekends.

      SAP experience for an electrician?

      Extreme physical danger from being an electrician, especially in a commercial environment that is more likely to have high voltage work.

      Pay tops out at $67k…

      Let’s repeat: pay tops out at $67k for an experienced person working a dangerous job with long hours and weekends. I’m shocked they are having trouble finding people!!
