My patient was injured lifting at work and is trying to switch careers because he is losing money. He said that he wants to be an electrician. He says that he doesn’t need to lift heavy for this job.

Firstly, does he need to not lift for this job or is he mistaken? I am pretty sure lifting heavy is a requirement for this job.

Secondly, how does he acquire a job like this? I heard its very competitive to get into this field.

Does anyone know anything about this field? I want to help him.

I can't imagine it's easy to walk into a job as an electrician. There's a lot of training involved, not to mention licensing. There are probably electricians who don't have to do a lot of heavy lifting, but I have to assume you need to be in good physical condition. There are heavy tools and equipment, so being able to do some lifting has be considered part of the job. It's great that your patient is ambitious, but he's setting quite a goal for himself.

Thanks for your insight. Do you think its too far of a stretch for him? How hard is it to get into a program?

I don't think it's exceptionally competitive, but I do know it's very physical. My brother-in-law is an electrician and there's a lot of bending, twisting, lifting, climbing, reaching… My brother-in-law is that he's going to struggle to do it later in his career, so I'm not sure if it would be a great option for somebody who isn't physically in tiptop shape.
