    Who still enjoys being an electrician?

    I'm not sure if this is a very good question to ask on an electricians forum as I guess one of the reasons you are on here is because you still enjoy discussing electrics. But It would be interesting to know if you still enjoy doing the job? Whether you prefer domestic, commercial etc? I get...
