TITLE
Military aircraft need their own electricians. There are soldiers whose job it is to take care of electrical elements on military vehicles.
One career path for electricians is a wind turbine technician. Wind turbine technicians install, inspect, care for, operate, and repair turbines. To do this job, a person can attend a technical school and then get on-the-job training once they are hired. This job lets a person work outside, often in beautiful places. Countries such as the United States are hiring many of these technicians as they look for green energy solutions.
