Best Answer

According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the median hourly wages of electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment were $23.29 in May 2008. In May 2008, median hourly wages of wage and salary electricians were $22.32.

As an electronics technician who debated being an electrician, I discovered there can be better money on either side of the table. However, joining the IBEW, you will likely spend a some time unemployed or off the job as an apprentice who earns well less than the $22.32 average. There seems to be a greater likelihood for stability on your work schedule and employment as an electronics tech. There are the exceptions to this. Some electrician work for firms or companies which employ them 40+ hours per week. The IBEW contractual benefits tend to be very generous in comparison to a non-union technician. This puts the technician and electrician back at even.
