How can the pelvis become misaligned? Accidents and injuries are frequent causes, e.g. side impact, lifting whilst twisting, or falling heavily on one side; as are carrying heavy loads on one side, e.g. a child on one hip or a heavy bag continually on one shoulder.
Overall, the cost to become an electrician is very reasonable compared to other careers. If you are thinking about becoming an electrician, plan to spend between $2,000 to $5,000 on your training and tools, and a couple of thousand dollars each year for advertising your business once you are a practicing electrician.
Of course, union jobs will pay the best wages and have the best benefits. If you are an apprentice electrician then you can expect to make anywhere from $40 to $55 per hour depending on which union is involved and in which area of the country you live and work. This wage is far higher than the national average for this type of work in the public sector or nonunion work.
